THE MANAGER FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPARTMENT BANQUE INTERNATIONAL DU
BURKINOUAGADOUGOU , BURKINA FASO
TELEPHONE NUMBER 00226 76-45-59-92
Dear Friend,
(TOP SECRET)
I am Mr Abdoulahi mustafa, the manager in charge of auditing and accounting
section of International Bank Of BURKINA (BIB) 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 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
October 31st 2000 in a 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 our discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $10.5M ((Ten million five hundred thousand US
dolloars)). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive
information through internation search in Burkina-faso here in Ouagadougou
Burkina-faso.
Meanwhile 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 me 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 40% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 50% will be for me. 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 monitoraing 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 information will be sent to you
when I hear from you.
You should contact me immediately you receive my letter through my telephone
or through
Trusting to hear from you .
Yours faithfully,
MR ABDOULAHI MUSTAFA
