Subject: THIS IS GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU .
FROM THE DESK OF:MR.SADA FAL ,
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
(PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL).
I am SADA FAL .the Manager in charge of Auditing section Africa development
bank(ADB)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa. Forgive my indignation if
this message comes to you as a surprise.
AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH
THE INTERNET SEARCH HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
I FASTED AND PRAYED FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE I CONTACT YOU TO BE MY PARTNER.
I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial to
both of us.
During our auditilg in this Bank,I came across some amount of money
belonging to a deceased foreigner who died with his wife and their only
daughter on February 16,1998 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 the Governor of Taiwan Central(Reserve)Bank. The said amount is U.S
$15.5.00(FIFTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSANDUNITEDSTATES DOLLARS).
I want you to know that I never master minded the death of the deceased
fellow.
Their"death was occured Naturally. Please View this website:
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9802/16/taiwan.crash.update2/
FOR YOUR INFORMATION BEEN YOU NOT A TAIWANESE WILLNOT POSE ANY PROBLEM FOR
THE SUCESSFUL TRANSFER ON THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
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 operate a 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 a
foreign account where 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.Therequest 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 toretire from service
after I conclude this deal with you.
I will fly down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be
discussed.
On your acceptanceto be my partner, please email for a brief discussion
before we proceed.
Please keep this proposal secret, even if you dont want toassist me. I look
forward to receive your urgent reply.
Thanks
Yours faithfully,
MR. SADA FAL
