to one of our late foreign customer Dr,George Brumley a physician who died
with his family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, East Africa, on
monday the 21st of july 2003 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 my discovery to this Development,the Late Dr.
George Brumley, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of America whose
residence was here in Burkina Faso,West Africa.
The banking laws and guidelines here stipulates that if Such fund remains
unclaimed for three years, and no body apply to the bank as his or her next
of kin to the deceased the fund will be transferred into the bank treasury
as unclaimed fund.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enable
the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of
execution. The said amount was ($13.3M) thirteen million three hundred
thousand dollars. Meanwhile, all the whole arrangement to put claim over
this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased has been made, and all
information will be provided to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist me.
I could have done this transaction alone, but due to the fact that I dont
want the secret of this transaction to be revealed by any body, that is why
I have decided to contact a foreign body in other to maintain the secrecy
involved and also been a well known staff of this bank is not advisable for
me to carry out this transaction alone.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction. You will be entitled to 36% of the
total sum as gratification, while 4% will be set aside to take care of any
expenses that may arise during the cause of this transaction, which will be
deducted as soon as the fund gets into your personal account in your country

Please, you have been advised to keep the top secret and confidentiality of
this transaction until this fund enters into your designation bank account
in your country.
