Subject: URGENT REPLY NEEDED
FROM THE DESK OF DR IDRIS MABOYO
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
{WEST AFRICA}
URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
I Dr IDRIS MABOYO the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
in Bank of Africa ouagadougou-burkina faso in west Africa with due respect
and regards I have decided to contact you on this business transaction that
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During my investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer, a foriegner who
died on September 11, 2001 in the U S Trade Center mayhem 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 my discovery to this
development.
Actually, the late customer was a big merchant who trades on Gold, Diamond,
Elephant tusks and crude oil from Africa to Asia and Europe and this money
he deposites in our bank to pay for his purchases. Although personally, I
kept this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and
idea be profitable and during the time of execution ( Two is secret). The
amount involved is $14 Million usd (Fourteen Million united states 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 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 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 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 from a foreign nation 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 he will need the money to be
retransfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification and
clarification to designated bank account. I will not fail to inform you
that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone bills
etc, while 60% will be for me. Please,you have been
advised to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire
from service after I have concluded this deal with you. I will be monitoring
the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your
account and ask me 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 advise me
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 and asking any questions that are not cleared by you for a
good follow-up.
Best regards,
Dr IDRIS MABOYO
