FROM MR KABORE ZURU.
BILL & EXCHANGE MANAGER/ AUDITING.
GROUP BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
BURKINA-FASO WEST AFRICA.
DIRECT NUMBER TEL/ 00226 76 61 65 94
My Dear Friend,
I am the bill and exchange manager at FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT,In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S $10.5million US dollars,
TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS in an account that
belonged to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire
family 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 a business associate to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidlines 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 claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
business proposal to you so that the bank can release the money to you as
the next of kin or a business associate 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.
Since the bank law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Six years the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as
next of kin. I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign
partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set
aside for expenses incured during the usiness and 50% would be for me and my
Family.
There after I and my Family will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages indicated and for some possible investment
under your kind control. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this
fund to you as arranged,you must apply first to the bank as a business
associate or next of kin of the deceased person.
1. Your Full Names and Address.
2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers. please i will like this transaction to
be strictly between you and i Upon receipt of your reply, I will start by
giving to you the application which you will fill and send to the bank.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is that you
should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been
made for the transfer and given your 100% full assurance and risk free
transaction. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this
mail,
Trusting to hear from you immediately,
Yours faithfully.
MR KABORE ZURU
