FROM THE DESK OF DR.TANKO GARUBA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO
ATTENTION;Friend
Please Reply To:tanko_garuba03@yahoo.com
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK BURKINA FASO. I got your contactaddress through
internet when searching for a good and reliable person that will assist me
in this transaction.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 30.5m US Dollars in
anaccount that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with
his entire family in JULY 25 2000 IN A SUPER SONIC CONCORDE plane crash AT
CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT IN PARIS FRANCE.
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 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 guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after six year, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury
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.
I 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. Therefore to
enable the immediate transfer 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 mail massage to en-able
me send to you all the details information concerning this transaction.
waiting for your urgent reply without any delay.
Your's faithfully
DR.TANKO GARUBA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
