Subject: Urgent Reply Please My Friend
FROM THE DESK OF MR GANI WILLIAMS
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANEGER ,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.

Attn My Good Friend,
I am the manager of auditing and accounting at the foreign remittance
department of BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$12m dollars (Twelve Million US
dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in Jully 2000
in a plane crash.For more informations about
the crash youcan visit this site: 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 some body applies
for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidlings and laws 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 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 guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed
after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a
foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business
and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer
of this fund to you arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next
of kin of the deceased with a text of application
that i will send to you,so i will like you to send to me your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the
application.I will not fail to bring to your notice 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. You should contact me
immediately as soon as you received this letter.
with this Email Address; (ganiwilliam40@yahoo.fr )
Trusting to hear from you immediately.Yours Faithfully,
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Thank You.
MR GANI WILLIAMS.
