Subject: TREAT AS URGENT.
Mr,Issaka Diallo,
15 kolughu naba av.
Age:45years old.
Marital status:married with 4children.
Occupation:banker.
Country:burkina faso.
City:ouagadougou.
I am Mr,Issaka Diallo, working at the auditing and accounting depatment, BANK OF AFRICA (B .O. A) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During an investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 23rd July 2000 plane crash and 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 discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $5.2M (five million,two hundred thousand United States dollars).In fact I could have done this transaction alone but because of my position in the 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 affidavits of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be transferred into on your 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 45% of the total sum as gratification, while 45% will be for me , and an additional 5% will be mapped out for you for showing your kind and willingness to assit me in this transaction,also the remaining 5% will be for any expenses such like telephone bills which was involved in the transaction and it will all be deducted out from the total money when it is been transfered to your account over there. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after i have concluded this transaction 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 me to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I look forward to receive your reply urgently.Show your readiness to assit me in this transaction by replying this proposal as early as possible.I will send you how you can apply to the bank as soon as i recieve your response towards this mail.Extend my greetings to your family and you should please try and have trust on me in this transaction so that we shall achieve our aim together.Do not take this very transaction as a joke,i am betting you rigth now that this is just nothing but reality,so you reply and ask me how you can apply for the text of application form of claim of the deceased fund from the bank.It is the foreign remittance department that are responsible for transferance of fund into your account over there.When you demand for the application form of claim,i will also send you my bank proffessional identity card for you to identify me facially.
Thanks from,
Mr,Issaka Diallo.
