FROM DR ISA AKATA.
THE MANAGER OF AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING DEPT,
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA-FASO.
Dear friend,
How are you doing with your family?I presume that all is well with you.I am
the manager of audit and accounting department at the foreign unit of our
bank.I got your contact from the international directory when i was looking
for a foreigner who will assist me to achieve a great success business that
will yeild us life success. Before i wrote you,i prayed that you will be a
honest and reliable person whom i can work with to achieve this deal of our
life.
From my section in the bank, I discovered an abandoned sum of EIGHTEEN
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($18.5m) that belongs
to one of our customer who died along with his entire famillies,on 25TH
JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH[Flight AF4590 ] with the whole passengers
aboard.The name of the deceased man was (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from
Munich,Germany.
You have to understand that i come acrossed this huge amount of money when i
was arranging the departmental customers file to submit to the bank
management for the annual audit of the year.Since the bank got information
about the death of the deceased man, the bank have been expecting his next
of kin to apply and claim his money because the bank cannot release the fund
unless a person from any foreign countries apply for the transfer of the
fund as the next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines but unfortunately i learnt through investigations that
all his supposed next of kin died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that you will
apply to the bank tol release the money to you as the next of kin or
relation for safety and subsequent sharing since nobody is coming for it.
For us to achieve this businesss immediately,the percentage ratio for
sharing the fund when the bank release the fund to you must be arranged.So i
accept that thirty percent of the fund(30%) will be for you as a foreigner
for the provision of any bank account where the bank will transfer the money
into including other of your participation during the process of the
transfer,Sixty
percent (60%) will be for me as the person who explores the business,Four
percent of the fund (5%) will be for the expenses which may come forth
during the transfer of the fund, while 5% will be shared to the helpless
peoples around us in the world such as ,motherless babies,charity
homes,disable peoples and so on.
Thereafter I will visit your country for sharing the money according to the
percentages indicated above.So for the immediate transfer of this fund into
your bank account as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as the only
existening next of kin to the deceased customer by indicating in the
application the bank account information where you will request the bank to
transfer the fund into.So if you accept to help me in other to achieve this
great business,i will send to you through email or by fax,an Application
form of claim which you will fill with your account information and send to
the bank for the transaction to start immediately.
Please i would like you to know the following informations.(1.) This
business is HUNDRED PERCENT FREE FROM RISK.(2.)You will not face any much
questions because the application will bear the brief information of the
deceased which the bank may like to know.(3.) If you will follow my
instructions and directives,this transaction will be completed within a
short period of time.(4.)You should keep this business CONFIDENTIAL or
SECRET until the fund get transfered into your account for safety and
security purpose.
My regards to you and your family.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.ISA AKTA.
