AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT /FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (A.D.B)OUAGADOUGOU -BF
REQUEST FOR THE URGENT TRANSFER OF THE SUM (US$10.5million) ONLY INTO YOUR
ACCOUNT.
You may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction., I got your impressive
information through an international business equiry .
But I respectfully insist you read crefully as I am optimistic it will open
doors for unimaginable financial reward for both us.
This business transaction might not fall within the wide spectrum of your
business activities ,but I plead your assistance ,as your flair for
profitable business is needed .
Permit me to introduce myself. I am MR. YSOUF AROUNA. the Manager of
auditing and accounting unit at the foreign remittance department of AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT BANK . In My department I discovered an abandoned sum of$ 10.5m
US dollars . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who
died along with his entire family in november 2002 in a plane crash.
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because wecannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
anindicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside
with him at the planecrash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make 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 I 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
unclamed after five 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 bythe
fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next
of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner,
inrespect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 %will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me . There after
I will visit your country with my family 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 in the money will be remitted .
On your acceptance, I will send to the text of application by fax or by
email which you are going to apply to the bank ; and provide materials
confirmation references and inquiries regarding payment formalities from the
payment Agency. I willbe handling official
protocols here and expect you to undertake international responsibilities as
I am assuring you of a risk free transaction provided you display maturity.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render
the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my
email address .
Thanking you in anticipation of your kind considerations.
Yours sincerely.
MR. YSOUF AROUNA.
