BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK INTERNATIONAL OF BURKINA (B.I.B)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
GREETINGS
I apologize for this intrusion. First, I must solicit your confidence in
this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL
AND TOP SECRET. I decided to contact you through email due to the urgency
involved in this matter. My name is Mr. Hassan Billy, I work with BANK INTERNATIONAL
OF BURKINA (BIB). I need your co-operation in receiving USD9.5M that has
been in a dormant account with my bank for over 7years which belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plane
crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa. I will provide you with detailed
informations on the modalities of this operation once I have your interest
but I must say that trust flourishes business. Therefore let your conscience
towards this proposal be nurtured with sincerity and I will not fail to
bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free risk and you should
keep this transaction (TOP SECRET).
I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 65% would be for me,
there after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage 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 of the deceased, indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication
and location wherein the money will be remitted.
I don't think I need to spell out the importance of secrecy in this matter
considering the amount involved and my career as a banker. I will bring
you up to date with all the informations as soon as I hear from you. If
I don 't hear from you within a certain period I will assume you are not
interested and will solicit for a new partner, but if you know you are interested
let me know. And send me an email through my personal emal address: ( f_remit_dept02@yahoo.fr
)
Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about
the plane crash and the Deceased DR.GEORGE BRUMLEY AND HIS FAMILY.
