Subject: URGENT REPLY
FROM:MR.KONATE CORE.
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT,
BANK OF AFRICA(B.O.A),
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA-FASO.
Dear friend,
I know that this letter may come to you as a suprise. I got your contact
address from the Internet when I was searching for a business partner.
My name is MR.KONATE CORE. I am the Bill and Exchange Manager of bank of
africa (B.O.A) ,Ouagadouguo Burkina Faso.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$22.3 Million (TWENTY
TWO MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS). In an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customer who died along with his wife and children in
a plane crash in a year 2000 plane crash happened in Cote d'Ivoire.(Kenya
Air Ways)
Since we got information about his death, the bank 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 the 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 in the
plane crash leaving nobody
behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposals to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation to
the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it because I don't want the money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remains
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late
customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner. I have agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as foreigner
partner in respect to the provision of a foreign account.10% will be set
aside
for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me, after
which I shall visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as i
arranged,you will furnished me with a good receving account detail where the
money will be transfered,your private tel and fax number for easy
communication.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail a text of
the application which you shall retype and fax to our foreign remittance
director,for easy execution of the transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100%
hitch-free on both side. As all required arrangement have been made for the
transfer.
Please I would like you keep this transaction confidential and as a top
secret as you may wish to know that I am a Bank official.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Sincerely,
MR.KONATE CORE.
