Subject: Awaiting your urgent cooperation.
Hellow,
I can't imagine how you will feel receiving a sudden business letter from a
remote country in far away Burkina Faso and probably from some one you have
not closely related with. But all the same, I believe we do not need to be
of blood relatives before we can establish cordial/business relationship.
Having said this, I think it is very important at this juncture to introduce
myself to you and also disclose to you, how I came in contact with your
email address/profile. My name is. Mr.Abama George,I am the district
(Foreign operations) manager of Bank Of Africa here in Burkina Faso.
I got your email address/profile during my searching in internet division of
chambers Burkina Faso when I was in search for reliable and competent person
to handle this matter for our future benefits.So it is my pleasure to
solicit your assistance in a very confidential business proposal. I am
contacting you because I do not want to transact the business with anybody
who is known to any staff of this bank or anybody around here to avoid any
possible blackmail or leakage at the end of the transaction.
READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY:
There is an account in this bank, which was opened in 1982 by one Mr.salla
Khat an Lebanese National, who worked with Burkina Faso Department of Mining
& Natural Resources and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account. I
had a very careful study of the account files through which I carried an
extensive investigation about the holder of the said account and found out
that Mr.Salla Khat suddenly died in a plane crash in 2003 thereby abandoning
the account, having been fictitious regards the information submitted to
this bank at the time of opening the account.
The account at this moment has no beneficiary since the name Mr.Salla
filled, as his next of kin has no contact information in the form he
submitted to the bank. I have secretly removed all the relevant files to the
account from the dormant section so that bank auditors will not verify the
abandoned money and refer it to Federal Treasury via Burkina Faso reserve
bank’. Credit balance of the said account is US$2.7 Million (Two million
Seven Hundred Thousand, United States Dollars)
My Dear Friend, the deal here is that the money in this account will be
approved and remitted to any foreigner who shows up as next of kin to
Mr.Salla provided such person has correct information of the man.I have
such needed information and will send it to you as soon as we commence the
transaction. I will source all necessary documents and forward them to you
for direct submission to the bank. With my position as the foreign
operations manager, we will quietly remove this money from the bank without
hitches.
I don't have any problem in regularizing all necessary documents and
transferring of the credit balance of the said account to your yet to
nominated overseas bank account, but the problem is sincerity and trust. I
have spent months in trying to get an overseas reliable contact. It is
worthy to note that people are unreliable these days and even derive joy in
telling lies.
On this ground I request your unreserved but sincere cooperation devoid of
greed in carrying out this transaction so that no one amongst both of us
shall defraud each other at the end. I am prepared to split the fund at
60%---40% for you, provided that mine (60%) will be intact at the end.
Please get back to me via the email account as a matter of urgency.
Await for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Mr.Abama George.
