Subject: FROM:MR GARUBA UMARU
FROM:MR GARUBA UMARU
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (A D B)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
Dear Sir/Madam,
(PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL)
I am GARUBA UMARU the MANAGER in charge of BILL AND EXCHANGE section of
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (A D B) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West
Africa.With due respect and egard 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 a deceased person who died on
November 2001 in a 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 my discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to enable
the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of
execution. The said amount was sum of $ TWENTY TWO MILLION THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($22.3m)
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
Bonafide next of kin to the deceased, 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 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
to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money
to be re-transferred into on his 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 don't
want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.Our Banking
law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed
after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed fund.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 will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% 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 and also telephone
bills, while 65% will be for me. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top
secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I
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 us
to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you.
I look forward to receive your email.
Yours faithfully,
Mr GARUBA UMARU HOME ADDRESS:288 QUEZIN
FERDINAND AVENUE OUAGADOUGOU
BURKINA-FASO.
