Dear Friend
I am Idris Ouadrego a senior banker at bill and exchange in the foriegn
remittance department of African Develpoment Bank (A D B).It was when i was
searching for a business partner who will assist me in championing the
course of this business proposal i am sending to you that i got your
contact through the internet.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $U.S25,000.00Million
dollars (Twenty five million US dolloars) in an account that belongs to one
of our foriegn customer who died along with his entire family in November 2,
1999 in a plane crash. See the website below this paragraph.
web site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
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
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 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 we don't want this
money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidling here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after eight years the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foriegn account, 10% will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60% would be for; me and my
colleagues.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage 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 of the deceased
indicating the following.
Your bank name.......................................,
Your bank account number........................,
Your bank address....................................
Your account name..................................
Your private telephone............................
Your bank phone number........................
Your age...............................................
Your private email address....................... for easy and effective
communication and location wherein 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 recieve this letter so that
I will send you the application to apply to the bank and the information of
the deceased person or i may fill it for you.
Yours faithfully.
Idris Ouadrego
