( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (SCOT WILLIAM) a senior
staff in file department in African developent bank (ADB).I got your
contact from a Yahoo Tourist Search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of
your capability and reliability to champion this businees opportunity when
i prayed to God about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum
of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his
entire family in (friday december 26,2003 ) in a plane crash. 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 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 and one official 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 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 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 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 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 my woman colleague. There after I and my colleague will visit
your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer 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 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 on my number 00226 70 40 32 85.
immediately as soon
as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you
immediately.
Your’s faithfully,
SCOT WILLIAM.
POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to
enable the
transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will
prove to the bank.As you finished reading this letter call me
immediately so that we discuss very well over this business.Please call me
and inform me that you received my mail, because i don't go to net always.
