Subject: FROM MR. JAMES KONDE
FROM MR. JAMES KONDE
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)OUAGADOUGOU
BURKINA FASO WEST AFRICA
Dear Friend,
My name is MR JAMES KONDE, I am the operational manager in foreign
remittance department incharge of credit and foreign bills in bank of
africa(boa) here in Burkina Faso. I am writing in respect of a foreign
customer of my bank who perished with his whole families in the year 2000 on
CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590]with the whole passengers aboard.For
more information,see below: www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the
account. Since his death, I personally has watched with keen interest to see
the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his
funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning
it,the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the
manager of his company.
The total amount involved is $8.2M USD. I wish to start the first transfer
with $3M USD and upon successful transaction without any disappointment from
your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to
your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the central computer operator in
telex department of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth
and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you
are going to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable
foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the
deceased by providing his/her bank account where the fund will be
transferred for immediate investment on any valuable project as no one has
come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than nine
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if you
can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a
reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her
personal account. At the conclussion of the transfer 60% of the fund will be
for me, I will give you 30% of the total transfer sum, 5% for charity home
while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties
might incure during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9
banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund
from the deceased. You should also include your private fax and phone
numbers for easy and safe communication.
Your's faithfully,
JAMES KONDE
