*FROM THE DESK OF MR. SULEMAN MOHAMADU

BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)

*DEAR FRIEND,
I AM THE MANAGER OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING AT THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPARTMENT OF BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO. IN
MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF US$12.5M DOLLARS (TWELVE
MILLON FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE
OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER FROM MUNICH, GERMANY) WHO
DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN JULLY 2000 IN A PLANE CRASH.*
* *
*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 GUIDLINGS AND LAWS BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE LEARNT THAT
ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION DIED ALONGSIDE WITH HIM AT THE
PLANE CRASH LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR *

THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDLINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH FUND REMAINED
UNCLAIMED AFTER SOME YEARS, THE FUND WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK

BUSINESS IS OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A
BURKINABE CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.*

OF A FORIEGN ACCOUNT WHILE 5% WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURRED DURING
