=46ROM THE DESK OF BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
MR.JOHN KONE.
IN OUR BANK HERE IN ABIDJAN COTE D, IVOIRE.
Hello,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department in our bank here in,ABIDJAN,COTE
D=92IVOIRE. I am writing following the impressive information
about you on the internet,assuring me of your capability
and reliability to champion this business opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $11.5m
US dollars (Eleven million, five hundred thousand U.S
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 2002 in paris that almost took the
whole life of the passengers on board.Since we got
information about his death,we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we
cannot release 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 along side with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in
my department now decided to make this businness 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 we dont 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 three 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.
We agree that 20 % of this money will be for you as foreign
partner,in respect to the provision of a foreign account,
5% will be set aside for expenses incured during the
business and 75% would be for me and my colleagues.There
after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according 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
relations 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 in 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 through this my private email(johnkone1@yahoo.fr.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR.JOHN KONE.
(Bill And Exchange Manager)
