Attention:Dear Friend,
I am aware that this unexpected letter will come to you as a surprise, I apologize for any inconveniences, but please do bear with me for I am only seeking for an assistance to secure US $ 25 million Dollar into a personal account.
However, your address was secured through my search in the internet for a reliable and capable hand to handle a transaction of this magnitude. I obtained your profile from ICQ business website and became aware of your credibility and integrity.
Thus my humble decision to solicit for your mutual co-operation in this transaction, which will be beneficial to all of us.
I am Bar.Onochie karim Onochie {Esq.} a Political adviser on Legal matter to late Minister Rafik Hariri , assasinatated Minister of Lebanon. As a result of the sudden death of the Minister in Lebanon,the owner of cadbury manufacturing Company here in Burkina Faso, I contacted you because late Minister Rafik Hariri was a foreigner and the fund can not be approve to an Indigne of here in Burkina faso.
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'm contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind by my deceased client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the investment deposit funds were lodged.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after three years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury account as unclaimed fund.
Consequently the management team of the bank has recently issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the investment deposits confiscated by the end of this first quarter in their financial calendar of 2006.
The bank 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.
Please I'm seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this deposit valued at $25 Million United States Dollars can be claimed to you for both of us to share the money.
I have all necessary legal documentation that can be used to back up the claim. All I require is your honest and kind cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
20 % 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 expenses incured during the business.
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 private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
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.
