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
withhis 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 togo into
the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. bThe
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 aforeign 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
accordingto 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 next 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 notentertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the
transfer.
You can equally reach me at: issahfu@yahoo.com
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your's faithfully,
MR ISSAH USUFU
