Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDECAIL.
FROM THE DESK OF MR. ABU ISSABILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER (BANK BICIAB)OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO. PRIVATE CONFIDENTIAL COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON.
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Bank Biciab I am writing following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who runs a consultancy firm in your country.
He assured me of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 20m US dollars (Twenty million US dollars) .In a account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2003 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have bee expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not 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 l 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 stipulate 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 occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. 50 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 50 % would be for me. There after I 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 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 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. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully, Mr. Abu Issa Bill and exchange manager, BANK BICIAB
