Dear Sir,
RE: TRANSFER OF ($39,500.000.00 USD THIRTY NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS)
We want to transfer to overseas the sum of ($39,500.000.00USD) Thirty Nine
Million Five Hundred Thousand UnitedStates Dollars) from a Prime Bank in
Africa. I would like to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest
person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existingbank account
or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty
a/c can serve as far as it can receive money.
I am Mr.Usman Kabore, an accountant and personal confidant to Dr. Ravindra
F. Shah who died together with his wife Dr.Mrs. Manjula Parikh-Shah in a
plane crash onthe 1st Oct. 2003 on their way to attend wedding in Boston.
Mr. Ravindra F. Shah, is an American, a physician andindustrialist, he died
without having any beneficiary to his assets including his account here in
Burkina Faso which he opened in the year 2000 as his personal savings for
the purpose of expansion and developement of his company before his untimely
death in 2003.
The amount involved is (USD 39,500,000.00)Thirty Nine Million Five Hundred
Thousand USD, no other person knows about this account. I am contacting you
for us to transfer this funds to your account as the beneficiary, I want to
first transfer $9,500.000.00 (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand USD) from
this money into a safe account abroad, after which we will transfer the
remaining (30M)but I don't know any foreigner. I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money can not be approved to alocal person here,
without valid international foreign passport, but can only be approved to
any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers license and
foreign a/c because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the
a/c Mr.Ravindra F. Shah is a foreigner too, and as such the money can only
be approved into a foreign a/c.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management
is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive
response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with
the inheritance procedures.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total
amount,60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring.
You should observe utmost CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in this transaction,
and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I will require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
I look forward to your prompt response through this my private email
mrusman_kabore109@yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Mr.Usman Kabore
