Subject: I am waiting to receive your mail
DR AHMED SHALAA.
BANK OF AFRICA OUAGADOUGOU,
BURKINA FASO.
Dear friend,
RE: TRANSFER OF ($8,500.000.00 USD EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS)
I want to transfer to overseas the sum of ($8.500.000.00USD) Eight Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa. I
would like to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set
up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can
serve as far as it can receive money.
I am DR AHMED SHALAA. an accountant and personal confidant to Mr.Robert Rice
who died together with his wife in a plane crash on the October 31st 1999 on
their way to attendwedding in Boston, he is an American, a physician
andindustrialist, he died without having any beneficiary to his assets
including his account here in Burkina Faso which he opened as his personal
savings for the purpose of expansion and developement of his company before
his untimely death in 1999.
The amount involved is ($8.500.000.00USD) Eight Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars), no other person knows about this account. I
am contacting you for us to transfer this funds to your account as the
beneficiary, I want to transfer the whole $8,500.000.00 (Eight Million Five
Hundred Thousand USD) into a safe account abroad, but I don't know any
foreigner. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can
not be approved to a local person here, without valid international foreign
passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international
passport or drivers license and foreign a/c because the money is in US
Dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr.Robert Rice is a foreigner too,
and as such the money can only be approved into a foreign a/c.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management
is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive
response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with
the inheritance procedures.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the total
amount,55% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring. You should observe utmost
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in this transaction, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I will require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ahmed Shalaa.
