Subject: Seeking for a joint partnership.
Hello Dear,
This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind but please consider it a divine wish and
accept it with a deep sense of humility. I am Mr.William Sankara, the
manager in charge of Telex/computing department of Bank of Africa
(B.O.A)Ouagadougou 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 this Bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to of our deceased customer Mr.
Raymond Beck who died in a plane crash along with his wife in Egypt Air
Flight 990, 1999 air crash for more information about this crash and person
you can view this website
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm).
Since we got this information about his death and on further investigation,I
found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr. Raymond Beck did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within I , to enable the
whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of
execution, the said amount is (USD$17.3m)(Seventeen million, three hundred
thousand United States dollars),as it may interest you to know, I got your
Impressive information on my search for a reliable partner, I contacted you
to be my partner and person to be reliable and capable to champion a
business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all The whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bona
fide next of kin to the deceased and get the required approval And transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in Place and directives and
needed 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 (a banker), we are
not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise 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 foreign account where you will need the money to
be re-transferred into on this 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 designated 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 35% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer, while 60% will be
for me , please you have been advised to keep "Top Secret" as I am 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 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 and all other necessary vital information
will be send to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me As soon as possible and also include your
personal phone/mobile and fax numbers for easy communication.
