Subject: TREAT VERY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT RESPONSE.
FROM THE DESK OF MR,BAYA SOME.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.WEST AFRICA
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of African development bank(ADB)I crave your indulgence as i contact you in
such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you read this letter
carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable financial
rewards for both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of fifteen million US
dollars (US$15m) only , in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer who died along with his entire family in November 1999 in a plan
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
asindicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at
the plan crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now 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 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
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a 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 Incurred during the business and 60% 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 wherein 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.
Yours faithfully,
MR,BAYA SOME.
Bill and exchange manage.
African development bank(ADB)
