The Director, Auditing And Accounting Section,
Bank Of Africa(BOA), Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso.
West Africa. *

* I am the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting section of Bank of
Africa(BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso west africa.I crave your indulgence as
i contact you in such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you
read this letter carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for
unimaginable financial rewards for both of us.
THE PROPOSAL:
During my investigation and auditing in this Bank,i came across a very huge
sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 31july 2000,in a
plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation before my discovery to this development.the said amount was
US$10.5m (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
It is therefore upon this that I now decided to make this business proposal
to you so that the money could be released to you as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody
is coming for it and i dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and as such a Burkinabe cannot
stand as next of kin to a foreigner. i agree that 40% of this money will be
for you as a foreign partner in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 60% would be for me.
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 relation 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 wherein the money will be remitted. I will not
fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that
you should not entertain any atorm of fear as all required arrangements have
been made for the transfer.

*Contact me through email or my private number:00226 78878 963, as soon as
you finish reading this email for more details. Trusting to hear from you
immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Boureima Compaore. *
