FROM,THE DESK OF MR Amine Mohamed
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
WEST AFRICA BANQUE
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
TEL.00226 504 200 39
Dear Friend,
I am the manager bill and exchange of the foreign remittance department of
West Africa Bank, ouagadougou burkina faso, My dear I am trusting this deal
to you buy faith and hope that you will handle it without know problem.
In my department file, I discovered an abandoned sum of US $33.6m (Thirty
three million, six hundred thousand US Dollars) in an account that belongs
to one
of our foreign customer who died along with his wife and the only daughter
in November 2, 1997 in a plane crash.
Since I got information about his death, I have been watching out for his
next of kin to come over and claim this money because, the bank cannot
release it
to any person unless somebody apply for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as it is indicated in our banking guidelines and laws,
unfortunately,
I discovered that the only next of kin died alongside with him a plane crash
being his only daughter left nobody or relation for claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I have decided to make this
business proposal to you as a foreigner and for you to stand as the next of
kin or a relation to deceased person for and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for the claim and
I don’t want this money to go into the banks treasury as unclaimed bill ,
the banking law and guideline ARTICLE A section WAB/O11 of 1991,stipulates
that if such is found in our bank after five (5) years remain unclaimed the
money will be
transferred 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 is a foreigner, a Burkinabe and a Burkinabe
cannot
stand as a next of kin to a foreigner.
I arrange that 30% of this money will be for you’re as foreigner partner
in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred
during the business, handled by you, and 60% will be for me. Thereafter, I
will visit
your country for disbursement according to the percentage as indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this money to your private
account, you have to apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin to
the deceased.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text
of the application, I will not fail
to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and do not
entertain any fear as all required arrangement has been made for the
transfer.
You should contact me immediately you receive my letter through
my telephone or e-mail.
Trusting to hear from you.
Yours faithfully
URGENT .
MR AMINE MOHAMED.
