BANK OF AFRICA
OUAGA-BURKINA FASO
I Am Saliu garuba, the Manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit
foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) Ouaga-Burkina Faso in
West Africa, with due respect
and regards, I have decided to contact you on a 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, I department came across a very
huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foreigner
who died in a plane crash incident, you can also confirm this in the
website as follow:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
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 our
discovery to this development.Although personally, I kept this information
secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be
profitable and successful during the time of execution, The amount involved
is USD$23.5million us dollars.Meanwhile the whole arrangement and directives
needed to put claim over this fund as the
confide 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 us 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 foreign account
and would eventually raise an 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 who will forward
claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and
also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be
re-transferred 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 70% will be for
me Please, you have been advised to keep top secret as we are still in
service and intend to retire from service after we conclude 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 us 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 advice us 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.
Best Regard
Thanks
Dr.Saliu garuba,
