FROM THE DESK OF KAZZIM AZEEM
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DU BURKINA
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Iam the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of
Banque Internationale Du Burkina.Iam writing following the impressive
information about you through on of my friends who runs a consultancy firm
here in Burkina Faso. He assured me of your capability and reliability to
champion this business opportunity.
I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business proposal (Fund
Transfer into Your Account).However,i got your contact in earnst search
through the internet,when i am looking for realiable someone who could
assist me to handle this transaction with sincere mind and fully
cooperation.
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $18.5MUSD (Eighteen
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) only, in an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a
plane crash that took place in Mount Kenya in the 07/20/2003, East
Africa,(thrill of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro) the Late Dr.George Brumley, a
citizen of Atlanta, United States of America, and contactor in West Africa
also with ECOWAS,(ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES).
(For reference and confirmation see the web site of 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 it cannot be released unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin died
along-side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal
to you and release the money to you via, into your foreign bank account as
the next of kin to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it so that this money could not go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after two years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for your assistance and maximum
co-operation as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin in this business is
occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agreed to offer you 40% of this money as my foreign partner as soon as we
conclude up the transaction, being in respect to the provision of your
foreign account. While 10 %will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 50% would be for me. There after I will come over to your
country for sharing and disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased,
indicating your claims and wherein the money will be remitted into.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text of
application which you shall fill in and submit to the office of the foreign
remittance director of the Banque Internationale Du Burkina for the onward
transfer of the fund into your nominated bank account.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is strictly
confidential and I will use my position in the Bank to effect a hitch free
transfer of the fund into your nominated bank account.
Please, visit the website below for more information’s about the Plane Crash
and the tragic death of the deceased and his entire family, Late Dr. George
Brumley.
For reference and confirmation see the web site of the plane crash).
