FROM THE DESK OF MR DADA OMAN
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER BANK OF AFRICA.
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
TOP SECRET
DEAR FRIEND
I AM MR DADA OMAN THE BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER AT THE
FOREIGN
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF BANK OF AFRICA.
I GOT YOUR CONTACT FROM THE INTERNET ,WHILE SEACHING FOR AN HONEST AND
TRUST
WORTHY PERSON, WHO WILL ASSIST ME TO IMPLEMENT THIS TRANSFER.I
DISCOVERED
THE SUM OF TWENTY MILLION AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS
(USD20.5M) BELONGING TO A DECEASED CUSTOMER OF THIS BANK.
THE FUND HAS BEEN LYING IN A SUSPENCE ACCOUNT WITHOUT ANYBODY COMING TO
PUT
CLAIM OVER THE MONEY SINCE THE ACCOUNT OWNER LATE MR SALLA KHATIF FROM
LEBANESE , WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THE DECEMBER 25TH 2003 BENIN PLANE
CRASH.
HERE IS THE AIR CRASH WEBSITE ON CNN
HTTP://WWW.CNN.COM/2003/WORLD/AFRICA/12/26/BENIN.CRASH/INDEX.HTML THE
SAID FUND IS NOW READY FOR TRANSFER TO A FORIEGN ACCOUNT WHOSE OWNER
WILL
BE
PORTRAYED AS THE BENEFICIARY AND NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CUSTOMER
OF
THE
BANK. SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING
HIS
NEXT IF 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 GUIDLINES AND LAWS BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE
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 DECIDED TO MAKE THIS
BUSINESS
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 GUIDLINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF
SUCH
MONEY REMAINED UNCLAIMED 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 OCCASSIONED
BY
THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A BURKINABE CANNOT STAND
AS
NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER. I THEREFORE SOLICITING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE
TO
COME FORWARD AS THE NEXT OF KIN.I HAVE AGREED THAT 40% OF THIS MONEY
WILL BE
FOR YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY
IN RESPECT OF THE PROVISION OF YOUR ACCOUNT AND SERVICES RENDERED, 55%
WOULD
BE
FOR ME WHILE 5% WILL BE FOR EXPENCSES INCURED DURING THE CAUSE OF THIS
TRANSACTION IF THE MONEY IS TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT FROM BANK OF
AFRICA,
I AND MY FAMILY IN THIS TRANSACTION WILL PROCEED IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR
COUNTRY
FOR OUR OWN SHARE OF THE MONEY.
I EXPECT YOU TO KEEP THIS BUSINESS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND SECRET AS
YOU
MAY WISH TO KNOW THAT I AM BANK OFFICIAL.BE REST ASSURED THAT THIS
BUSINESS
IS 100% RISK FREE ON BOTH SIDE AND EVERY ARRANGEMENT TO TRANSFER THIS
MONEY
TO THE ACCOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO PROVIDE HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED PROVIDED WE
MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECEIRITY INVOLVED.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE.
