Subject: TREAT VERY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT RESPONSES.
From The Desk Of Mariam Kabore .
The Head Of File Department,
African Development Bank A.D.B
Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West Africa.
PLANE CRASH WEB SITE...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1hi/world/europe/859479.stm
("REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (Mariam Kabore ),the Head of file Department in
African developent bank (ADB).I got your contact from Yahoo tourist search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and
reliability to champion this businees opportunity when i prayed to God or
Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15
million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) .
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along
with his entire family in (Monday 31st July 2002) in a plane crash. 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 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 don’t want this money to
go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed 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. 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 will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer 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 thetransfer.
Your’s faithfully,
Mariam Kabore
POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to enable the transfer to
move very smoothly in to the account you will prove to the bank.As you
finished reading this letter call me immediately so that we discuss very
well over this business.
