Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF MR AHMAD FARUG.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK -ADB
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
PRIVATE CONFIDENTIAL NO:
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of African Developent bank(ADB). I am writing
following my effort in my several searches in the internet looking for a
relaible person that can help me in championing this business oportinuty.
and i am sure of your capability and reliability to champion this businees
opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 10m
US dollars ( TEN million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in november 2001
in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we
have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because
we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died
alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I in
my department now decided to make this businness 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 i dont want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that
if such money remained unclamed after four years, the money will be
transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of
foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner.
I have agree that 45 % of this money will be for you
as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 %
will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 50 % would be
for me . There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to
the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of
this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations
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 where in the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to
you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is hitch free amean it is 100% risk free
transaction and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR AHMAD FARUG.
Bill and exchange manager,
African Development bank ADB
