("REMITTANCE OF $5 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliments Of The Season,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and
may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent
and
writing through this channel.I got your contact from the proffesional data
base
found in the internet Yahoo tourist search.When i was searching for a
foreign reliable partner.I assured of your capability and reliability to
champion this business opportunity.
After series of prayers/fasting.i was divinely directed to contact you
among other names found in the data base Yahoo tourist search.I believe that
God has a way of helping who is in need. I am ( Morris Koku ) the Head of
file Department in African development bank (ADB).
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 5 million U.S.A dollars
( Five million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Monday 31st July
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 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 along side 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 a certain period of 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 Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We
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 set aside for expenses
incured during the business and 60% would be for me and my woman colleague.
There after i will visit 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 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 have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me on my cell phone number 00226-7685 5660 immediately
as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your's faithfully,
Morris Koku.
