Subject: CONFIDENTIAL ISSUE
FROM THE DESK OF MR MOUSTAPHA IBRAHIM
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
WEB SITE OF PLANE CRASH;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
ATTEN. ,
I am the auditinig and accounting managerat the foreign remittance
department bank of africa (BOA)I got your full detail contact through my
personal computer while in search of a
trustworthy person that can assist me in this transaction.In my department I
discovered an abandoned sum of $15m US dollars (Fifteen Millon UD Dollars)
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along
with his entire family in a concord plane crash in the year 2000 in paris
that almost took the whole life of the pasengeres on board.Since we got the
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
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 now decided to make this
businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next kin or
relation to the deceased costumer 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 seven years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury account 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 as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 40
% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, while 60 % is for me
There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the
percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this
fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation 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 the money will be remitted. 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 hitch free and that you should not entertain any
atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
MR MOUSTAPHA IBRAHIM
BANK OF AFRICA ('BOA)
