AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA),
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
TELE:00226-76-571976
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Mukta Aziz,the Manager in charge of auditing and accounting section
of Bank of Africa (BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West Africa with due
respect and regard. I have deceided to contact you on a business transaction
that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
July 2003 in a plane crash along with his entire family that happened in
Kenya,East Africa. the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation before our discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $30M (Thirty million United States dollars). As it
may interest you to know,I got your impressive information through internet
while i was searching for a business partner who will assiste me this
transaction.
Mean while all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this
great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to
be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us
to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when
I hear from you.
I look forward to receive your email.
Yours faithfully,
MUKTA AZIZ
