Subject: TOP SECRET & CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF MR. IBRAHIM DONGO
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
( TOP SECRET & CONFIDENTIAL)
Dear Friend,
I am MR. IBRAHIM DONGO, the manager of auditing and accounting section of
Africa Development Bank (A.D.B) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso .With due respect
and regard I have decided to contact you on this business transaction that
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($6.5 Million) that belongs to one of our customer who
died along with his entire families on the 29 July 2003.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come forward 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 and policies, but unfortunately I lent
that all his supposed next of kin and relation died alongside with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claims.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposal to you, so that you will forward claims to the Bank as the next of
kin and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be
re-transferred into on your request since nobody is coming forth and i
don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
Please i don't want this money to go into our Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill, because our Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
money remained unclaimed after Six 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 deceased customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be cannot
stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be for
reimbursement of any expenses incurred during the curse of the transaction
and 60 % would be for me.
And after this fund gets transferred into you account, I and my family will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated,
therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged
by me, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private
telephone and fax number for easier and effective communication and location
where the money will be remitted.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application, 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 concerning the transfer of the fund into your
account have been made.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR. IBRAHIM DONGO
