AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
(BOA) BANK OF AFRICA.
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO
Dear Friend ,
(TOP SECRET)
I am ( Mr.Ahmed Danjuma ) the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of (BOA)Bank of Africa Ouagadougou Burkina-faso in 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
31st October 1999 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.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount was U.S $15M (fifteenmillion
United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your
impressive information through the Bukinab chamber of commerce on foreign
business relations here in Ouaga. 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 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.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.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Ahmed Danjuma
