Subject: FROM MRS STELLA BINTU URGENT RESPONSE BACK.
Dear Friend,
I choose to reach you through this medium because it is the fastest and most
reliable way of communication, as I wish to solicit for your urgent
assistance in what I strongly believe will be of great benefit to both of
us. I am a banker by profestion an Accounts Manager with Africa Development
Bank Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. The issue I am presenting to you a case of
one of my late customer, a national of Garman country who died in an unknown
circumstance leaving an unclaimed treasury bills (Dollars) with my bank.
In 1999, my late customer invested in treasury bill dollars here in my bank
in Burkina Faso totaling 12.3 million dollars sterling (£12,300,000.00)
which was due to be collected in 2006 with accrued dividends. On my yearly
appraisal of my customers at the turn of every year, I discovered that this
fixed deposit is overdue for retrieval since on the 1st of feb 2006. I had
put up series of mails and bank notifications to him which were sent back
uncollected. I later discovered
that he passed on along with his wife and only child in the tragic swissair
flight on july 21 2003.

website:http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Since his death I have managed his account expecting any of his extended
relatives to come forward to claim his money but all attempts to trace his
relatives over the years has been fruitless since he did not declare any of
his relatives information in his banking records with us. Added to this,
professional ethics obligates us.
According to the banking law, the money will be bequeathed to the government
if it remains unclaimed by next two months. However, I don”t belong to that
school of thought which proposes that the fortunes of unlucky people be
given to the government and I am fully convinced that no one would turn up
to execute the letter of administration to claim his funds before next two
months. Hence, I decided to contact you to come in as the next of kin to my
late customer so that the funds totalling £12,300,000.00 can then be
transferred to you into your account as
inheritor within 5 working days after we have filed in your claims transfer
application to the bank.
I will prepare every operation that will assist us to claim the funds as
the next of kin and everything will be left between you and me. I am not
the greddy type the share would be 50% for you and 50% me. Again, I feel
that you may be apprehensive and consider this amount too big for you to
defend. It does not matter, as there are documents to back it up.This
transaction is risk free and as the most senior account manager with the
bank be rest assured that all documents to enable you get this fund as the
next of kin will be carefully worked out normaly. Do not be bothered that
you are not related in any way to my late customer as I am in position to
affix your name as the next of kin.
Kindly send your reply back as soon as possible or call on my mobile line
below. I need not emphasize the confidentiality of this issue and I
therefore appeal to you not discuss this request with anybody, even if you
decline to take full advantage of this great and urgent opportunity in my
bank.
I look forward to your quick reply.
Mrs Stella Bintu
