Subject: VERY URGENT ATTENTION
MY DEAR FRIEND,
THIS MAIL MIGHT COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AND THE TEMPTATION TO IGNORE IT AS
UNSERIOUS COULD COME INTO YOUR MIND; BUT PLEASE CONSIDER IT A DIVINE WISH
AND ACCEPT IT WITH A DEEP SENSE OF HUMILITY.
I AM MR ABUBAKAR DANLADI THE MANAGER OF BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTEMENT OF
BANQUE ATLANTIQUE DU BURKINA. I SAW YOUR CONTACTS THROUGH A GLOBAL SEARCH
DIRECT ORY, AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION I DECIDED TO WRITE YOU SINCE I CANNOT
BE ABLE TO SEE YOU FACE TO FACE AT FIRST.
I WILL LIKE YOU TO TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THIS MAIL CAREFULLY. I DID NOT
MEAN TO EMBARRASS YOU WITH MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL BUT I SERIOUSLY NEED YOUR
ASSISTANCE. PLEASE THIS IS A CONFIDENTIAL MATTER AND IT REQUIRES URGENCY. IN
MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF U.S$12,500,000 M DOLLARS
(12.5 MILLION USD) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER
WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY ON TUESDAY,25TH JULY,2000, IN A PLANE
CRASH , SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS
OR HER NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE WE CAN NOT
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
WE LEARNT THAT HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN DIED ALONG SIDE WITH HIM AT THE
PLANE CRASH LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM.
IT IS THEREFORE UPON THIS DISCOVERY, I NOW DECIDED TO MAKE THIS BUSINESS
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 I DON'T WANT THIS MONEY TO GO INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS
UNCLAIMED BILL. THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH
MONEY REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER EIGHT YEARS AND SIX MONTHS, THE MONEY WILL BE
TRANSFERRED INTO THE BANK AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
I THEREFORE AGREE THAT 40% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS FOREIGNER
PARTNER, IN RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, 10% WILL BE SET
ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURRED DURING THE BUSINESS AND 50% WOULD BE FOR ME.
THERE AFTER I WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE
PERCENTAGES INDICATED.
