BANK OF BANK(B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,WEST AFRICA.
TEL: +226 76 54 34 28.
Dear Friend,
I am Terfar Otis .the Director in charge of Auditing section BANK OF
BANK(B.O.A)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 Bukinab chamber of commerce
HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO. I FASTED AND PRAYED FORTHREE 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 auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of
money belonging to a deceased foreigner Mr Andreas Schranner who died with
his wife and his kids , He died in the 2000 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.
The said amount is U.S $7.2 (SEVEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS). I want you to know that I never master minded the death of
the deceased. 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 itwill 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 seven
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 30% of the total sum
as gratification,while 65% while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills,Please you have been adviced to keep "topsecret" 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 country for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated andfurther investment will be
discussed. On your acceptance to be my partner, please email for a
brief discussion before we proceed. Please keep this proposal secret, even
if you dont want to assist me. I look forward to receive your urgent reply.
URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED
