Subject: PLEASE I NEED YOUR URGENT REPLY IMMEDIATELY.
Bill & Exchange Manager African Development Bank (ADB)
Burkina Faso, West Arica.
Dear,
It is my upmost regards to write you this mail, in due respect, I am Mr Ahmed Boro, the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of AFICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. I am writing, following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who WORKS with the BURKINA CHAMBERS firm.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $6.5Million dollars (six million five hundred thousand US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died on November 2003.
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 some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately I 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 now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the bank will 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.
All I need is up most trust in this transaction in as much as no rising of betrayal after the fund has been transferred into your account. You have to send me a contact address in as much as your contact number, your country if possible a copy of your photograph and also, your accounting information.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses occurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my family.
There after I and my family will visit your country for disbursement of the fund according to the percentage indicated.
The banking law and guiding here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after six years the money will be transferred 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.
Now to enable the immediate transfer of the fund, we will follow the normal banking procedure by you applying first in the bank and do not bother of what comes up next because it has already been taken care of by me having all informations needed for this account to enable the money to be transfered without suspicion from the bank or anywhere in as much as we do this deal confidentialy.
I advice you fill the blank spaces below for more confidentiality.
Name in Full......................................................................
Occupation........................................................................
Marital Status....................................................................
Phone Number...................................................................
Fax Number.......................................................................
Age...................................................................................
Sex...................................................................................
Nationality..........................................................................

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 so you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required information of the deceased indicate has been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Yours faithful Bill & Exchange Manager. Mr Ahmed Boro
