Dear, Reply with omarness150@yahoo.co.uk
Greeting to you,
I am Dr Omar Ahmed from the northern part of burkina faso.I want to seek
your assistance after my discovery during auditing in my bank as am the
manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foriegn Remittance Department of BANK
OF AFRICA,(B.O.A.) In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$10.8million
US dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who
died along with his entire family in plane Crashes of NOVEMBER 1, 2001,
Since 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
and financial policies but unfortunately all the efforts proved abortive.
IT is therefore upon this discovery that I decided as the head of my department
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 we don't want this money to go into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.
Do not view this as been illegal but an opportunity for us to help enrich
our hope in life instead of the bank converting this much money to the security
funds.You should not nurse any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the smooth transfer of this funds and your acceptance
is what will crown this effort.
We will conclude this operation within 14 banking days based on the amount
of coperation you will contribute.
Thank you for your understanding as await your urgent response to enable
me give you more details.
Remain blessed,
Dr Omar Ahmed.
