Subject: IS ME DR MOUNIR URGENT REPLY.
DR MOUNIR BHASIN OF THE
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ANNEX)
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT,
OFFSHORE OFFICE,OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA-FASO.
Dear friend,
I got your e-mail contacts from computerised datas after my extensive
search via the website for a God-fearing and trust-worthy person to bestow
this transaction which is the only hope of our survival into his or her
hands.
When i got your address,I prayed and meditated fervently over it and i
commited it into the hands of God that you should be the rightful person to
help us out before I made up my decision to contact you.
My name is DR MOUNIR BHASIN of the Bill and Exchange Manager of the African
Development Bank,Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$30.000.000
(THIRTY MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS). In an account that belongs to this our
foreign customer
who died along with his wife and and children in the 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 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
this 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 agree that 39%of this money will be for you as foreigner partner
in respect to the provision of a foreign account.2%will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 59% would be for me , after which
I shallvisit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as I have
arranged,you will furnished me with a good receiving account details where
the money will betransfered,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 applicatiowhich you shall retype and fax to our foreign remittance
manager,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 and more so all the documents backing this claim will be supplied
to you after you might have applied.
Please I would like you you keep this transaction confidential and as a
topsecret as you may wish to know that I am a senior Bank official.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Sincerely,
DR MOUNIR BHASIN BILL AND EXCHANGE (ASSIST.)MANAGER, AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT
BANK,
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
OFFSHORE OFFICE,OUAGADOUGOU,
BURKINA-FASO.
