PLANE CRASH WEB SITE http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html ( "REMITTANCE OF $22 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE") I got your contact from a Yahoo Tourist Search.Dear Partner
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it with the seriousness it deserves. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. This is a personal mail directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. One has no doubt in your ability to handle an international business of considerable TRUST, which may form the bedrock of an extensive business partnership in the future.When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured ofyour capability and reliability to champion this businees opportunity wheni prayed to God or Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 22 million U.S.A dollars ( tweety two million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (friday december 26,2003 ) in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death,
PROPOSITION:
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 asindicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at theplane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this businness 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 dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
SHARING ARRANGEMENTS:
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will betransfered 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. 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 incured during the business and 60 % would be for;me and my woman colleague. There after I and my family will visityour country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
EXECUTION OF THE PROPOSED DEAL:Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you asarranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank accountnumber, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.Upon receiptof your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of theapplication 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. reply me with this e mail address mr_thomson1@yahoo.fr immediately.
