FROM THE DESK Of MR KAMARA ZONGO
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
THE AFRICAN BANK (TAB)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dearest One,
Compliments,
Although we have not met, I saw your contacts in INTERNET SARCH,After much
consideration i decided to write you since I cannot be able to see you face
to face at first. I will like you to take your time to read this mail
carefully. I did not mean to embarrasse you with my business proposal but I
seriously need your assistance. Please this is a confidential matter and it
requires urgency.
I am MR KAMARA ZONGO the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of The African Bank (TAB) ouagadougou burkina faso in
west africa.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$12.5m
dollars (Twelve million five hundred thousand USD) in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in 11 SEP2001 in a plane crash attack in (AMERICA).
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
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at
the( ATTACK) leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
, I now decided to make this business 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 I don't want this
money to go into the
bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidine here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after four years, the money will be tranfered into the bank as
unclaimed bill.I therefore agree that 40% 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 50% would be for
me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin to 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.
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 recieve this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR, KAMARA ZONGO.
Bill and Exchange Manage.r
THE AFRICAN BANK
