FROM THE DESK OF NASAR MUSTAFA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
ATTENTION: DEAR FRIEND
I am the manager of bill and exchange BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)at foreign
remittance department . There is a business I would want you to champion for
me.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of ($21.500.000 U.S)
Twenty one million five hundred thousands US dollars) . In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in november 1999in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this
businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody
is coming for it and we dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after six years, the money will be transfered 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 to a foreigner.
We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the
deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location
where in the money will be remitted .
All modalities of this transaction have been carefully worked out and once
started will not take more than seven(7) working days, with your full
support. this transaction is 100% risk free.it involve no any inplication
and no any precaution there after.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
NASAR MUSTAFA
Bill and exchange manager,
BANK OF AFRICA
