Subject: GET BACK TO ME..
From Mr IBRAHIM NIAMED.
AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING SECTION.
BANK OF AFRICA (B O A) OUAGADOUGOU.
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Ibrahim Niamed the Manager, incharge of Audit and Accounting
Department of the Bank Of Africa (BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.With due
respect,There is a business l would want you to champion for me.In my
department l discovered an abandoned sum of US $10.2Million,Usd (Ten
million,Two hundred thousand U S Dollars)In an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer,who died along with his entire family in Air plane
crashed on 25th December 2003 in Cotonou- Benin Republic west Africa.
Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we can not 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 along side with him in the plane
crash leaving none as the right beneficairy to his balance with our bank.
It is therefore upon this discovery that l 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 fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not stand as
next of kin to him.
We have agree to give you 30% of this money to you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5%will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 65% would befor me and my
colleagues.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you account as
arranged,you will apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of
the deceased,indicating your full name,your private telephone and fax
numbers for easy and effective communication and the location where in
the money will be remitted.Upon the receipt of your reply, i will send to
you by email or fax the text of the application which you will sent to the
bank.
Be you informed that this transaction is hitch free both now and in the
future you should not entertain any fear whatsoever,as all required
arrangements have been perfected for the transfer.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully
Mr.Ibrahim Niamed.
