(PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL).I am.Sadik Ekofoh,the Director in charge of Auditing section AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(A.D.B)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa.Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise.I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial toboth of us.During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner who diedwith his entire family on October 31st 1999 in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery to this development.He was a contractor/enviromentalist.The said amount was U.S$970(NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).I want you to know that I never master minded the death of the deceased fellow and his entire family.Their death is a accour naturally. All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide next of kin to the deceased, has been put in place and directives will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.In this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operatea foreign account. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present an accountwhere he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request.Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after six years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin.I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.Be assured this transaction is 100% risk free.On conclusion of this Project,you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification,while 60% will be for me.Please you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you. I will fly down to your ountry or any place we shall agreed on for subsequent sharing of the fund according to ercentages previously indicated and further investment will be discussed.On your acceptance to be my partner please email me,before we proceed.I look forward to receive your urgent reply.Yours faithfully,FROM THE DESK OF:Sadik Ekofoh.
