DEAR FRIEND
I Am USMAN HAKEEM the manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit
foreign remittance depatmet 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 our investigation and auditing in the bank,my
department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person, a foriegner who died 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$10. Million UNTED
STATE DOLLARS). Meanwhile all 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 me 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,it is not allowed to operate a foriegn account
and would eventually raise an eye brown 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 you will need the said money (USD$10,Million UNTED STATE
DOLLARS)to be transfered into, 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 ratification, while 10% will be
set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of
transfer such as telephone bills etc,
while 60% will be for me! you are adviced to keep top secret as i am still
in service and intend to retire from service after 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 as me to come down to your country for
subsequent shearing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other country
you may advice me 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.

MR USMAN HAKEEM.
