Subject: MESSAGE FROM MR. ISSA AHMED.TREAT AS URGENT
FROM THE DESK OF MR.ISSA AHMED
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICAN (B O A)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of BANK OF AFRICAN BURKINA FASO. I got your contact address through
internet net work search when searching for a good and reliable person that
will assist me in this transaction.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 22.85m US Dollars (
twenty two milllion eight hundred and Fifty thousand us dollars)in an
account thatbelongs to one of our foreign customer who died on 25th JULY
2000 IN SUPER SONIC CONCORDE plane crash AT CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT IN
PARIS FRANCE
along with his entire family.
Since we got information about his death, we 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 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 at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you
as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account and 70% would be for ME;
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear
as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through
my Email box
Your's faithfully
MR.ISSA AHMED
