FROM THE DESK OF MR .HIMMED. PRODI.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICAN (B O A)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO
Dear friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of BANK OF AFRICA BURKINA FASO. I got your contact address through
internet net work search when searching for a good and reliable person that
will assist me in this transaction. In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of 22.3m US Dollars ( twenty two milllion three hundred
thousand us dollars)in an account thatbelongs to one of our foreign customer
who died on 31st JULY 2000 IN SUPER SONIC CONCORDE plane crash AT CHARLES DE
GAULLE AIRPORT IN PARIS FRANCE along with his entire family.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is upon this discovery that I
decided to make this business proposal to you for to apply to the bank as
the next of kin to the deceased person for the release of the fund into your
account in your country.
After the transfer of money into your account in your country I will come
over to your country for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account and 60% would be for me, and
10% of the money would set aside for any expenses that would incur during
the proces of the transfer.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the deceased indicating
your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax
number for easy and effective communication and your account informations
where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send
to you by email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for
the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through
my Email box
Please reply to (himmedprodi116@yahoo.com)
Your's faithfully
MR. HIMMED. PRODI.
N.B.In other for you to believe me honestly,go through this (website)before
you start with me.
