Subject: KINDLY RESPOND AS A MATTER OF URGENCY
FROM THE DESK OF ISAKA MOHAMED
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA, (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
WEST AFRICA.
Attn Please,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of Bank Of Africa, (BOA). I am writing following the impressive information
about you through one of my friends who runs a consultancy firm in your
country. He assured me of your capability and reliability to champion this
businees opportunity.
In my departmentn we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 18.5m US dollars
Eighteen million, Five hundred thousand US dollars) . In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in a fatal plane crash in the year 1998.
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 don’t 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 four years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury account 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 .
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.
Your Faithfully,
Mr. Isaka Mohamed
Bill and exchange manager,
Bank Of Africa, (BOA).
N.B.My intention of writing you through email is because I belive it is very
confidential.
