Greetings to you,=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=20
My name is Mr. John Kairo, the branch Manager of a top bank here in Burkina=
Faso. I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge =
you to treat it serious, I believe it is only a day that people meet and be=
come great friends and business partners. I write you this proposal in good=
faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to r=
eveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction in my bank that will benefi=
t both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner.
=A0
There is an account with total sum of $11,300,000 million that has not been=
operated on for the past 8 years. This account belongs to the Late Mr. Mor=
ris Thompson an American great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, who =
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 26=
1 which occured on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter.=

got during my investigation;

The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank and=
no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the ac=
count has no other beneficiary living.=A0 I have kept a close monitoring of=
the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money =
as next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson, meaning that no one is awar=
e of the account.=A0 I cannot directly take out this money without the help=
of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to cl=
aim the funds and share it with me.=A0 As the Manager of my bank branch, I =
have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that =
comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information co=
ncerning the account, which I shall give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the acc=
ount, so that my bank headquarters will release the funds to you.=A0 There =
is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a l=
egitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.=20
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share=
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be=A0 satisfied.=A0 Con=
tact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work togethe=
r, so we can go over the details.=A0=20
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost co=
nfidentiality.=A0 I wait your urgent response, you can as well contact me b=
y phone number=A0 +226 75117728.
