Subject: From Mr. Alain Robort
Dear Sir /Madam
I am Mr. ALAIN ROBORT BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER, BANK OF AFRICA [B.O.A]. I am seeking for your capability and reliability to champion this business transaction with me. In my department we discoverd an abadoned sum of $11.8M(Eleven Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (Mr.ANDREAS SCHRANNER). Source of information revealed that Mr. Andreas Schranner died on friday, 6th April,2002 alongside with his family in a ghastly motor accident which occured along Burkina/ Mali Expressway.
Since we got the information about his suden death, we have been expecting his next of kin to appear and claim his funds deposited in our bank because we cannot release it unless somebody applied as the next of kin or relation of the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Recently, we learnt that all his family were involved in the ghastly motor accident that leaving nobody behind for the claim, It is upon this discovery that I and one of my colleague now decide to divert this funds to any foreign bank account instead of the funds to go into the bank treasury account as unclaimed bill. Here, we will provide you with the information of the deceased bank account and you will make claim as his next of kin as well as the suppose beneficiary of his estate and apply for the transfer of his funds into your bank account since nobody is appearing as his next of kin.
The banking law and guidelines here situplates that if such money remain unclaimed after five years without any body coming for it the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund,The request of foreigner to stand as the deceased next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabair cannot stand as a beneficiary of the funds.
We agreed that you shall be entitle to 30% of the total funds for your co-operation in this transaction while 10% will be set aside incase of any incidental expenses during the processing of this transaction. After the funds are successfully transferred into your bank account, my family and I, will visit you for disbursement accordingly to the agreed percentage.
I shall be your guidiance and instructor throughout the completion of this transaction so as to ensure a swift and sure transfer of the funds into your bank account without any problem. Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you every details. Also, I will not hesitate to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and you should not entertain any atom of fear as all arrangements has been concluded for the transfer.
Once again, I demand that you keep our discussion private and secret as to enable the transaction move smoothly till you receive the funds into your bank account.
Best Regard,
Mr. ALAIN ROBORT.
