Subject: DEARLY BELOVED.......
Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.howard dave the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting
Department of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO IN WEST AFRICA, and
also the account officer of (MR.ROBERT RICE FROM OHIO,UNITED STATES OF

Before the death of the deceased,he had a fixed deposit account that worth the
sum of US$5.2M (Five Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)with
the above mentioned Bank and no other person outside the bank knows about this
account or any thing concerning it,and since we got information about his
death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his fund
because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of
kin,relation or business partner to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidlings and laws,but the account has no other beneficiary because my
investigation proved that his supposed next of kin died along with him in the
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the fund to you as the next of kin,relation or
business partner to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and i don't want this fund to go into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.The banking law and guidline here stipulates that
if such fund remained unclaimed after (Ten Years)it will be transfered into
the bank treasury as unclaimed fund,and i don't want that to happen that was
why i offered this to you.I agree that 40% of the fund will be for you as a
compensation for the provision of a foriegn account and your financial
assistance,and 60% would be for me as the originator of the transaction.
As soon as you confirmed the total fund in your account,I will visit your
country for disbursement of the fund according to the percentage indicated
above and for investment too.Also,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.

wholeheartedly,kindly furnish me with the following details as thus:
1. Your full names & address.
2. Your age, sex, & marital status.
3. Your current occupation.

will prepared an Application Of Claim with my position Upon receipt of those
required information,and submit it to the bank on your behalf as relation,next
of kin or business partner of the deceased for the release of the fund to your
account.
Your prompt reply is highly needed to enable us concludes this transaction
