SANI MOHAMMED,AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.

OUAGA-BURKINA FASO
I Am Mr SANI MOHAMMED,the Manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit
foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA(BOA) Ouaga-Burkina Faso in
West Africa, with due respect and regards, 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 my investigation and auditing in the bank, I department came across a
very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foriegner who died
in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with the bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation before our discovery to this development.
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 amount involved is USD$30.000,000.(thirty million us
dollars.)Meanwhile the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim
over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, will be forward
to you upon your acceptance information will be relayed to you as soon as
you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn 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 affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred
into o
n his request as it may be, after due verification and clarification to
designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free, On
smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 70% will be for me
Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service
and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask us 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 other country you may
advice us to invest in.All other necessary information will be sent to you
when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
stating your wish in this deal.
Best Regard
MR.SANI. MOHAMMED.
