Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT RESPOND
DIRECTOR INCHARGE OF
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK,
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO
WEST AFRICA
Dear Friend,
Is my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I am Dr.Usman
Tijani, the director incharge of auditing and accounting Unit of African
Development Bank in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.
I and my colleagues deem it fit to contact you regarding to a transaction
that will favour both of us at the end, and i got your contact in my search
for a reputable and reliable person to help me claim the fund in question.
We discovered the sum of US$20.5M (twenty million five hundred thousand US
dollars) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank.
The fund has been lying in a suspence account without anybody coming to put
claim over the money since the account owner late Deceased Customer, who was
involved in the December 25th Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash

The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account whose owner
will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased
customer of the bank.
Since you have the same surename with this deceased customer you can easily
make this deal with us,we will assist you to get the information of the
deceased customer that will assist you to get every proof document which
will help you to execute this money.
The foriegn account owner will impost himself as the next of kin to the
deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed
up the release and transfer of his inherited fund. If the over due fund if
not claimed by the end of next quarter, the government of the Federal
Republic of Burkina Faso will take over the ownership of the fund in line
with the Federal Edict Act of 1979.
We do not want the government to take over the ownership of this money, that
is why I contacted you for us to do the deal together, so that we will
portray you as the bonafide next of kin to the Deceased Customer .If you
accept to carry out this project with us, we will offer you 40% of the total
sum, while I and my colleagues involved will take 60% of the total sum.Upon
your acceptance to do this deal with us, we will jointly effect the transfer
within seven working days.
Be rest assured that, this transaction carries no risk and no extra
responssibilities on your part, except the above mentioned roles and
normally you will be required to maintain absolute information and absolute
secrecy throughout the duration of this transaction, because discussing it
with a third party might jeopardise the entire transaction.
I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this project
as this will greatly enrich the both of us at the end. You should contact me
as soon as you receive this letter .
Best Regard
Dr.Usman Tijani
