Subject: let me hear your say.
Dear Friend,
I am a senior staff of bill and exchange unit at FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
SOCIETE GENERALE DES BANQUES AU BURKINA(SGBB)
I am writing to you, following the impressive information received about you
from the chambers of commerce. I believed that you are capable and reliable
to champion this business opportunity.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of U.S $12.5m US dollars in
an account that belonged to one of In an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family on 25TH JULY,2000
CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590 with the whole passengers aboard. The
name oF the deceased man was (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER), from Munich,Germany.
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 I 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 now decided to make this
business proposal to you, so that the bank can 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 guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after six 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 in
as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 % will be set aside for tax
and expenses to be incurred during the business and 60 % would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according
to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the
deceased customer but that will be when you have
shown interest to assist me in this transaction then i will forward to you
the text of application with the bank address where the application will be
sent to by you as the enxt of kin to Mr Andreas Schranner.
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 100% hitch and risk free and that you should not
entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for
the transfer. for the success of this transaction, i need your co operetion
and trust.
Trusting to hear from you immediately. do send your response to
m_koku1@yahoo.com
Your's faithfully,
Madam Koku
