FROM THE DESK OF MR.PHILLIP MIKE
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO IN WEST AFRICA.
Dear Good Friend,
I am MR.PHILLIP MIKE, The Bill and Exchange Manager at the Foreign Remitance
Department of the above mentioned Bank.
with due respect and regards, I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction, During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my
department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person, a foriegner who died in a plane crash with his entire family and the
fund has been dormant in his
account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
during the time of execution.
Please visit the below website for more information about the deceased and
his family;
www.wral.com/news/2345844/detail.html
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
The amount involved is (USD$20.5M TWENTY MILLION AND FIVE HUNDRED UNTED
STATE DOLLARS). Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and directives needed to
put claim over this
fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, will be forward to you
upon your acceptance. information will be reaching you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In fact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank,This is the actual reason why
it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next
of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a
foriegn account where you will need the said money (USD$20.5 Million) to be
transfered into, after due verification and clarification
to designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free, On
smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as ratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone
bills,internet bills etc, while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please you are advised to keep top secret as we are still in service and
intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. You
should not let anybody hear of this transaction until you confirm the fund
in your account. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank
until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your
country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any
other country you may advice us to invest in. All other necessary
information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back
to me as soon as possible, stating
your wish in this deal.
Yours Brother,
MR.PHILLIP MIKE
NB: YOUR URGENT RESPONSE IS NEEDED SO THAT I WILL SEND TO YOU THE
APPLICATION FORM TO APPLY TO THE BANK AND MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE DECEASED
CUSTOMER)
