Dear Friend,
ASSALAM-U-ALAIKUM.
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department in
the BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) OF BURKINA FASO OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
I am writing,following the impressive information about you through one of my
friend. He assured me of your capability and releability to champion this
business opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$10.5M US dollars (TEN
Million five hundred US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in DECEMBER 2003 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 can not release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I 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 i don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury
as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreign as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the
fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not stand as next of
kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5%will be set aside for expenses
incured during the business and 65% would befor me and my colleagues.
There after 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, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of
kin to the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number,your
private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and
location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail 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 immediately as soon as you receive this letter for more
explanations.
Thanks
Yours faithfully,
LAMINE USMAN
