ATTENTION PLEASE.
AN IMMEDIATE NEED OFNEXT OF KIN .
HOPE THAT THIS MAIL WILL MEET YOU IN GOOD CONDITION.
MY NAME IS BARRISTER. WILLIAM BURKIN PAUL, OF OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO IN AFRICAN COUNTRY. PRESENTLY, I AM AT SPAIN A COUNTRY IN EUROPE. I ARIVED
HERE ON BEHALF OF MY FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN (FRIDAY DECEMBER 26, 2003) IN A PLANE CRASH. HE IS A BUSINESS MACHANDISE
WITH AN ACCOUNT IN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ADB. BURKINA-FASO THERE AT MY COUNTRY. HE HAS ABOUT $ 15 MILLION USA.THERE IN HIS ACCUNT.
SINCE THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH REACHED TO MY INFORMATION AS HIS REPRESENTETIVE THERE AT MY COUNTRY, HIS BANKERS HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS
NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RELEASE IT UNLESS SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED
AS INDICATED IN THEIR BANKING GUIDELINES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY 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 ON THIS GROUND THAT I AM HERE AT SPAIN TO SEARCH FOR A RELAYEBLE AND TRUSTWHATHYFORIGEN PERTINER WHO COULD STAND AS HIS NEXT OF KIN SO THAT THE TOTAL
AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNT CAN BE RELEASED TO THE PERSON UNDER MY RECOMMENDATION. IF YOU ARE INTRESTING, I WILL PRESENT YOU TO THE BANK SO THAT THE TOTAL SUM IN
THE ACCOUNT CAN BE RELEASED TO YOU.
THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE 30 % OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER, IN RESPECT TO
THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, 10 % WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURED DURING THE BUSINESS AND 60 % WOULD BE FOR ME AND PARTNERS.
I AND MY PARTNERS WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES INDICATED.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRNANSFER OF THIS FUND TO YOU AS
ARRANGED, I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS RISK FREE AND YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY ATOM OF FEAR AS ALL THE NECESSARY
ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE TRANSFER.
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU THROUGH EMAIL william_burlinpaul@yahoo.com
TELEPHONE: +34- 639-01-97-50, FOR MORE DETAILS.
THANK YOU.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
BARRISTER WILLIAM BURKIN PAUL
