* («REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS**
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment of the Season,
on a very good day. I am **(nasiru_ali**)** a senior staff in file
department in African development bank (ADB).I got your contact from a
Yahoo Google Search.**
When I was searching for a foreign partner I was assured of your capability
and reliability to champion this business opportunity when I prayed to God
or Allah about you. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15
million U.S.A dollars (fifteen million U.S.A dollars). In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
on (**Friday December 26, 2003*)* 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
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines, 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 claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I and one official in my department 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 we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury
as unclaimed bill.*
*The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after nine years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a
Burkinabè cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 35 % of
this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision
of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 55 % would be for me, Therefore after I and my family will
visit you in your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.**
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of
the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your
private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and
location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I
will send to you by fax or email the text of the application that you will
use to apply to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear
as all required arrangements to ensure the success of this transfer have
been made.*
