FROM THE DESK OF DR.Issa Muhammed
ACCOUNTS & AUDIT DEPERTMENT,
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of Africa,
Ouagadougou .
It is my utmost pleasure to send you this confidential message.
In my search for a reliable business partner overseas, i got your
contact in the internet and was impressed with your profile hence my
interest in
doing business with you.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 20.5m US dollars
(Twenty million, five hundred thousand US dollars) .
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died
along with his entire family on Monday,31 July, 2000 in a plane crash in
paris.
Please visit this site that is one of the evidence the directors
brought in other to swallow the money at the end of the
day,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 and other officials in my
department 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 we don't 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 six years, the money will be transferred into the
Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be 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
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.
Iwill 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.
I expect that you contact me as soon as you receive this mail as to enable
me send you the text of application which you are going to fill and send to
the bank to enable the transfer take palce immediately into the bank account
that you are going to provid.
Hoping to hear from you immediately if you are intrested in runing this
transaction with me in truth.
DR.Issa Muhammed
Accounts & Audit Department ,
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
