Dear Partner
I am the Director in charge of Auditing section Banque commerciale bank
(B.C.B)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa. Forgive my indignation if
this message comes to you as a surprise.I will appreciate your urgent
response to my email and i assure you that this transfer will surely improve
our lives and that of all those around us.
I am Mr.Allasane Mukaila, I work in the International Operation Department
of a Bcb bank here in Burkinafaso. I believe and feel quite safe revealing
this important business and will be glad to execute it with you.
My assurance to you is that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free
to both parties. I am only contacting you who is a foreigner because my bank
is going to welcome any foreigner that has correct information about the
account which I will give to you before we proceed.I got your mail contact
from the International directory and will be glad to do this business with
you.During my last momentary auditing,I have decided to contact you on a
project that will be very beneficial to both of us. During our auditing in
this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased
foreigner Mr.Patrick Lokesh who died with his wife and their only daughter
on 7th of Novermber 2002 in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his
relation before my discovery to
this development. He was a contractor here in my country burkinafaso as road
builder but his nationality is Germany. I discovered that Mr Patrick Lokesh
of Germany holds an account in my bank which he left no beneficiary. My
investigation proved to me as well that his company and family does not know
anything about this very account. The transferable amount is$20.5 MILLION
DOLLARS (Twenty million five hundred Thousand Dollars) and I want this money
to transfer into a safe foreign account abroad.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine. If you are capable of
handling such an amount in strict confidence and trust we will achieve this
money immediately, I will also use my position to influence and effect legal
approvals and immediate onward transfer of this money into your account with
appropriate clearance from the ministries and foreign exchange department.As
soon as the transfer is concluded, you are entitled to 40% of the total
funds.
I look forward to receive your urgent reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Allasane Mukaila
