Subject: FROM THE DESK OF DR.PAUL SANOU.
FROM THE DESK OF DR.PAUL SANOU. BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER FOR THEAFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (A.D.B) OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO. Dear Friend, I am Dr.PAUL SANOU the manager of bill and exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(A.D.B). I got your contact address through internet web directory network search when searching for a good and reliable person that will assist me in this transaction. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $13.9m US Dollars ( Thirteen Million and Nine Hundred Thousand US Dollars), in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died in Concorde Air France flight AF4590 crashed on 25th of July 2000 near Paris along with his entire family.Please you can visit this website below so that you will understand what I am trying to do, 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 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 i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bill. 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. I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account and 60% would be for me and 5% would be set aside for any expenses that would be incur during the process of the transfer. 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. 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 mail through my Email box Your's Faithfully, Dr.PAUL SANOU.
