FROM MR LAMIDO ALI AND ASSOCIATES
SOLICITORS AND ADVOCATES
SECT 16 OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO

Dear sir,
How are you today? And how are your family? Hope you are all doing fine?, if so glory be to God.

I am Barrister Lamido Ali , an attorney at law based here in Burkina Faso West Africa , A deceased client of mine, by name MR ANDREW and who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related illness but before his death ,his entire family was involved in the last bomb explosion , after the death of his children and wife when he returned from a business trip and was told about the bomb incident, he went straight into sickness and developed a heart related illness until he finally died at the Saint Nicolas Hospital here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.

I am contacting you to assist in transferring the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Central Bank where this deposit valued at $8.5m million dollars was lodged. The Central Bank (BCEAO BANK) has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated.

I have tried all my possible best to locate any of my late client extended family or relation in your country through your embassy here in BURKINA FASO , but all my efforts was abortive since the embassy was not able to provide valuable information's to this.I have received another letter from the bank which states that i should present to them the next of kin of my late client , so that they can pay the $8.5m to him or her as the beneficiary of the funds or the money will be converted into their bank treasury and will be regarded as unclaimed bills ,which after then the funds can not be paid to any body and they also make this clear to me in the letter

The reason i am contacting you is that i want us to do this business together , i will guarantee your security since i am also a lawyer and i want to also assure you that this transaction will not take more than 7 working days. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since MY CLIENT DIED WITHOUT ANY NEXT OF KIN OR CHILDREN, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you AS THE NEXT OF KIN . Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. 50% TO YOU AND 50% TO ME AS PARTNERS.

All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable transfer of the funds into your account over there in your country, and understand that the late man is a foreigner and since you are also a foreigner, the bank will transfer to you the funds as the next of kin ,and then i will meet with you in your country to take my share of 50% ,i will prepare the legal backups , and understand that everything will be done legally and as soon as the whole funds are transferred to your account in your country, I will fly in to meet with you for sharing which i have indicated to you already in this proposal that we will share the money 50% to you and 50% to me.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law of my country or your country and understand that this transaction will not take your time ,will be complete in estimated time of 7 working days upon your acceptance and co-operation with this proposal.

My late client was not a native of Burkina Faso and some one from my country Burkina Faso can not stand as his next of kin ,this is the reason i am contacting you since you are also not from Burkina Faso , it will be acceptable by the bank to pay to your account the funds as beneficiary and next of kin to my late client . If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology, but i must indicate that this transaction has nothing to do with crime or risk , it is completely risk free , do not be afraid .

Please contact me at once to indicate your interest and send to me your
