FROM THE DESK OF DR.HASSAN OSENI.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA). I got your contact address through internet net
work search when searching for a good and reliable person that will assist
me in this transaction.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $5.5m US Dollars (FIVE
Million Five hundred Thousand US dollars), in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer who died in Concorde Air France flight AF4590
crashed on 25th of July 2000 near Paris along with his entire family.Please
you can visit this website below so that you will understand what I am
trying to do,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
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 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 don't want this
money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
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 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account and 60% would be for me and
10% would be set aside for any expenses that would be incur during the
process of the transfer
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 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 mail through
my Email box
Your's Faithfully,
Dr.Hassan Oseni.
