Subject: TREAT AS URGENT.
FROM:MR MABARU KABARA.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA (IBA),
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
Dear Friend,
(TOP SECRET)
I am Mr Mabaru Kabara, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of International Bank Of Africa(IBA) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West
Africa with due respect and regard. 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 auditing in this bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on October
31st 1999 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 our discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $22.2M (twenty two million two hundred thousand United
States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through the Burkina-faso chamber of foreign relations here in Ouagadougou
Burkina-faso.
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 foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed
information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business
opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign
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 foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request
as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent
branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own
designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses
that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
65% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been adviced to keep
"top secret" as I am 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 this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me 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 country you advice us to invest
in. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from
you,And if you are really sure of your integrity reply me through this e-mail
alternative address,mabarukabara2@yahoo.co.uk.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Mabaru Kabara.
