Dear friend
I am Mr Daniels Yaro, Manager(Treasury) of Banque International Du Burkina. This is an urgent and very confidential business proposition.
I am in a position to influence the transfer of US$12,300,000.00,(Twelve Million, three hundred thousand Dollars). This fund was deposited by a customer who was a physician and a foreign contractor with the Burkina Faso Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
Upon maturity of the deposit, The bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, Burkina Faso Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, that Dr George Brumley was dead. On further investigation, I found out from his attorney that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Dr George Brumley. did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$12,300,000.00 has carefully been fixed in my bank for safekeeping. From our records the funds was deposited in the year 2002 and according to Burkina Faso Law, at the expiration of 4 (four) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
I will need you to stand in as his next of kin, I have already made arrangements with an attorney who will prepare all the necessary documents that will make this possible as I will follow all the necessary protocols and laws governing inheritance in my country.
I am willing to offer you 40% of the funds so that I can guarantee your commitment to this project. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address and Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you understand how i plan to implement this project.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your country.
Due to the nature of confidentiality in this Transaction I would want you to contact me via my alternative email address mr_danielsyaro@latinmail.com <mailto:mr_danielsyaro@latinmail.com> <mailto:mr_danielsfamily@latinmail.com>or my phone number +226 76 67 34 59.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks and my regards.
Mr Daniels Yaro
