Subject: HELLO
HELLO,
My Dear,
I MAKE THIS APPEAL WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY FACTS OR OPINION
EXPRESSED BY ME ARE GIVING IN CONFIDENCE AND SOLELY FOR YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION AND USE.I am MR FEDINAND N.CAMPORE,THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF BANK OF AFRICA.OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.
IN WEST AFRICA..
This message might meet you in utmost surprise however,it's just my urgent
need for foreign partner that made me contact you for this transaction I am
a banker by profession from BURKINA-FASO in west Africa and currently
holding the post of Director in Auditing and Acct. Section in our bank
OUAGADOU-BURKINA-FASO office.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$12.5M,( US Dollars)
with account number 14-2558-5976 that belongs to one of our foreign
customers who died along with his wife and only daughter in a plane crash of
Alaska Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed on , 2000. You shall read
more about the crash on visiting this site
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/The owner of this
account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and a
resident of Alaska.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after SIX years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more than three years
and I am preparing documentaion to prove this money transfered to our bank
treasury.
This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabé cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner.In appreciation of your assistance, I am
offering you 30% of the total sum. 5% for contingencies (cost of
transfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course of
transaction, while the remaining 65% is for me.Upon receipt of your reply,
I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you
will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to be paid to
you as the next of kin to Mr;Morris Thomson. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through
the above email or tel.no.+226:76:00:61:52. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO
CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER MY URGENT REQUEST.
Yours Faithfully
Fedinand N.Campore
Eagerly waiting for your response.
DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF BANK OF
AFRICA.OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO. IN WEST AFRICA
