( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (LUIS GODWIN ) a senior staff in file department in
African developent bank (ADB).I got your contact from a Yahoo Tourist
Search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and
reliability to champion this businees opportunity when i prayed to God or
Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15
million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in (Monday 31St July 2000) in a plane crash. 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 and one official in my department now
decided to make this businness 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 we don’t want this money to
go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. 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. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you asforeign
partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set
aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and
my woman colleague. There after I and my colleague will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer 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 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. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your’s faithfully,
LUIS GODWIN
POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to enable the
transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will prove to the bank.
