Subject: URGENTLY.............PLEASE
FROM THE DESK OF BOUBA SULAIMAN
SENIOR MANAGER, BILLS AND EXCHANGE
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA) OUAGADOUGOU
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
WEST AFRICA.
Dear friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my
colleagues and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my department.
I work with the BANK OF AFRICA in Burkina Faso, currently I am the senior
manager of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my
bank. I was the account officer to one Mr.William.E.Caswell who died along
with his family on the 11th of September 2001 in an American Airline Flight
77 plane crash at Pentagon All 141 passengers on board were feared dead. He
left in his domiciliary account the total sum of seven Million four hundred
thousand united States Dollars[$7,4M].Since the management got the
information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation or his
next of kin to come up and claim his money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this letter none of
his relation or friends has come up for the claim. The banking and financial
law of BANK OF AFRICA in stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed
after a period of five year(5yrs) it will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill. On this discovery sir, I and two other senior
staffs now decided to do the business with you and release the money to you
as the next of kin to Mr.William.E.Caswell for safety and subsequent
disbursement. I will soon proceed for my retirement leave this year, and I
personally do not want this fund to be transferred into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill. That is why I wanted the fund to be moved out of the bank
before I proceed on my retirement from the banking services by july 15th
2006.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by the
fact that the customer Mr.William.E.Caswell was a foreigner and a BURKINABER
cannot stand as his next of kin or heir. We have agreed that 30% of the Fund
would be for you as foreign partner; thereafter my colleague and I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated account,
you will first apply to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased,
indicating your bank account number and location wherein the money will be
remitted. Upon receipt of your acknowledgement indicating your interest, I
will send to you the text of the application that you will send to Bank of
africa authority for an approval to submit your claims. i need your direct
Fax and telephone numbers for effective communication that this transaction
needs.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully
BOUBA SULAIMAN
