Subject: Dear Friend, Your urgent reply is needed
FROM THE DESK OF MR. PHILLIPS KABORE
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction This is by virtue of its nature as being uttermost confidential. However after series of petitions received by this present regime from foreign contractors and inability of the BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) to fulfill their obligations for the payment to all foreign contractors in conjunction with the council of ministers, they mandated Bank of Africa to carry out a comprehensive review of all overdue payments to foreign contractors and to effect payments immediately.
During the above mentioned process, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.M (Ten million US dollars) in account that belongs to one of our foreign contractor who died along with hisentire family in a plane crash that happened in Kenya Air ways, East of Africa.Since the information about the Air crash was received, we have been expecting his relatives to come 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 guideline. unfortunately we learned that all his supposed next of kin or relations died along side with him at the crash site leaving nobody behind for the claim.Please I want you to visit the website below for more information's about the Plane Crash:www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
upon this discovery I and other officials in my department 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. I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,and 50% would be for me, while 10% will be for expenses that may occur during the transaction. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
In this regards, you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communications.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text of the application to fill and send to our bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is risk free 100% and the execution of this project will not be longer then 21 good days.
If you are interested please email me back as soon as you received this mail.
Yours faithfully.
MR. PHILLIPS KABOREBill & Exchange Manager,BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
