Subject: TREAT AS URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
TOP SECRET
I am Mr Zadeh Almhdie,the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Bank of Africa,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
in a plane crash july 2000 and the fund has been dormant in his account
with this Bank with out any claim of the fund in our custody either from
his family or relation before our discovery to this developement.
The said amount was EIGHTHEEN MILLION united states dollars.($18000.000.00)
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put the 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 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.
Infact 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
foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side
during the time of transfer becuase i work in this bank. This is the
reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward
claims as the next of kin to the bank and also present a foriegn account
where he will need the money to be retransferred into on his request
as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent
branch of the bank where the 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;while5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills; while65%will be for me.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.All other necessary vital information
will be sent to you when i hear from you.
I look forward to receive your email .
Yours faithfully
Mr Zadeh Almhdie.
