Subject: urgent.
Mr,Diallo Alidu,
15 kolughu naba av.
Age:45years old.
Marital status:married with 4children.
Occupation:banker.
Country:burkina faso.
City:ouagadougou.
I am Mr,Diallo Alidu, working at the auditing and accounting depatment,
BANK OF AFRICA (B .O. A) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West Africa with due
respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction
that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During an investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on July
2000 plane crash 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 discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $8.2M (Eight million,two hundred thousand United
States dollars).In fact I could have done this transaction alone but because
of my position in the country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not
allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow
on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is
the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will
forward claims as the next of kin with affidavits of trust of oath to the
Bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be
transferred into on your request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money
will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 45% of the
total sum as gratification, while 45% will be for me , and an additional 5%
will be mapped out for you for showing your kind and willingness to assit me
in this transaction,also the remaining 5% will be for any expenses such like
telephone bills which was involved in the transaction and it will all be
deducted out from the total money when it is been transfered to your account
over there. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still
in service and intend to retire from service after i have concluded this
transaction with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice me
to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when
I hear from you.
I look forward to receive your reply urgently.Show your readiness to assit
me in this transaction by replying this proposal as early as possible.I will
send you how you can apply to the bank as soon as i recieve your response
towards this mail.Extend my greetings to your family and you should please
try and have trust on me in this transaction so that we shall achieve our
aim together.Do not take this very transaction as a joke,i am betting you
rigth now that this is just nothing but reality,so you reply and ask me how
you can apply for the text of application form of claim of the deceased
fund from the bank.It is the foreign remittance department that are
responsible for transferance of fund into your account over there.When you
demand for the application form of claim,i will also send you my bank
proffessional identity card for you to identify me facially.
Thanks from,
Mr,Diallo Alidu.
