Subject: TREAT AS URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
FROM THE DESK OF DR.TANJA AHMED
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,
I am DR TANJA AHMED, the Manager in charge of auditing and accounting
section
in Bank Of Africa ouaga-burkina faso in west Africa with due respect and
regards. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will
be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. During our
investigation and audting in the bank, my department came across a very
huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foriegner who died on
november 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account
with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his
family or relation before our discovery to this development. Although
personally,
I kept this information secret within myself and partners to enable the
whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of
execution.
The amount involved is USD$20.5m(Twenty million Five hundred thousand united
states dollars).
As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through
an international business equiryon internet. I beleive you will be viable
and capable to championa business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide
next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this
money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives/needed
information
will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest awillingness
to assist us and also benefit your self to this greatbusiness opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time
of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to
the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money
to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification
and clarification to designated bank account. I will not fail to inform
you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smoth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification,
while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during
the time of transfer such as telephone bills ets, while 60% will be for
me and my partners. Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we
are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude
this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and
further
investment,either in your country or any other country you may advice us
to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I
suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this
deal.
Yours faithfully,
DR TANJA AHMED
Manager Auditing and Accounting Department
Bank Of AFRICA
