BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Tel:00226 78 82 22 94. Assalamu Alaikum
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remitta
department of African Development Bank (ADB). I got your address in Burkina
faso chamber of commerce through yahoo details. In my departmentn we discovered
an abandoned sum of $ 30 m US dollars (Thirty Millon US dollars) . In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with
his entire family in a concord plane crash in the year 2000 in paris that
almost took the whole life of the pasengeres on board.
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 and other officials 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 we don;t 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 three years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury account 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.
We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues 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 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.
Your;s faithfully,
DR. Ahmed Sani.
(Bill and exchange manager)
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.
N.B.My intention of writing you through email is because I belive it is
very
confidential.
