Subject: Confidential Business Proposal.
Auditing and Account's Unit,
Foreign Operations/Remmittance Department(FRD),
Bank of Africa.
Ouaga,
Burkina-Faso,
West Africa.
Hi,
I am Mr.Abbas Traore,one of the senior managers in charge of Auditing and
Accounting section of Bank of Africa,in West Africa and also the head of the
Auditing and Account's unit,of this Bank.
In due respect and regard,i have decided to contact you,over a business
transaction,for the mutual benefits of the both of us.
STATUS & NATURE OF TRANSACTION:
During an annual auditing of Account's in my section,in the BOA-Bank,where i
am currently working,as the head of the Account's section,an unclaimed sum
of money,was discovered.This money,was originally deposited by a deceased
customer of this bank,Late George Brumley,
a retired Atlanta Physician,who died in a tragic plane crash on the Lenana
Peak,Mount Kenya,Saturday,the 19th day of July,2003 together with his wife
Jean,three of their children and their spouses, and four
grandchildren.Though,he was operating this account secretly,without the
consent of anyone or his close confidants,neither his spouses.You can as
well,re-confirm the authenticity and genuinty of this piece of
information,through the underneath website of this incident
thus:(http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html)
and more details on
(http://www.legacy.com/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=1177881).
These funds,have been dormant in his account with the BOA Bank here,without
anyone putting up claim/claims over the funds,either from his family or
spouses,because he did not indicate nor state any next of kin or beneficiary
to this account,to whom these funds could be entrusted,in any case of
death.Personally,i kept this information secret and confidential,to enable
me carry out a successful transfer of this funds out of the bank here,into a
foreign account operational,overseas.The said amount involved is U.S $14.1m
(Fourteen million and a hundred thousand United States dollars).
I got your information and contact through my personal research,for a
foreign account holder,who will be required to tender an application,to the
bank here,for a transfer of these funds,into an operational account
overseas,as the banafide "next-of-kin" to George Brumley.All necessary
documentations and papers,to perfect this deal and have these funds
transfered overseas,will be carefully worked out,once we commence.I need
your full,utmost assistance and co-operation,to get this deal
accomplished,because as a foreigner,you stand in a better position,to be
resented,through documented proofs,as the bonafide "next of kin" to the
deceased customer,hence the deceased,
is also a foreigner.This is the more reason, why i could not do this deal
all alone and moreover,as civil servants here,we are not allowed to operate
any form of foreign account.
This transaction is a 100% risk free and on smooth conclusion of
transaction, you will be entitled to a 30% of the total funds as
gratification for your assistance,in helping clear the funds overseas,a
total sum of 5% will be set aside to take care of any expenses that will
come up,during the time of execution,such as tel.bills,fax bills e.t.c,while
the rest 65% will be for me.Please,you have been advised to keep this
transaction confidential and secret,between you and i,as i am still in
active service and intends resigning honourably from the services of this
bank,as soon as we conclude transaction.
Once we commence ,it will take us a period of 15 to 20 bank working days,to
conclude transaction and get money transfered,which is approximately a
(three to four weeks bank working period).
I will be monitoring the whole situation over here in the bank,until you
confirm money in your account. As soon as money hits your account and you
confirm it to me,i will come over to your
Country,for sharing of funds,according to the percentages,that i previously
indicated to you and also for further investments,either in your Country or
any other Country oversaes,which i will find convenient. I will relay every
other necessary information to you,as soon as i hear from you.
Get back to me,as soon as possible,if you are interested and ready to help.
(Thanks)
Mr.Abbas Traore
