("REMITTANCE OF $12 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (YOUSAU KAITA ) The Head of file Department in
African developent bank (ADB).I got your contact from Yahoo tourist search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and
reliability to champion this businees opportunity when i prayed to God or
Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (us$
12m) twelve million united state dollars . In an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Monday
31st July 2000) in a plane crash.
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 and one official in my department now decided to make this
businness 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 dont 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 for a certain peroid of 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 occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We
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 f or me and my woman
colleague. There after i will visit your country for disbursement according
to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer 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 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 thetransfer.
You should contact me on my number 00226-7650 9277, immediately as soon as
you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
YOUSAU KEITA .
POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to enable the transfer to
move very smoothly in to the account you will prove to the bank. As you
finish reading this letter call me immediately so that we discuss very well
over this business
