Subject: Iam waiting for your urgent reply
Dear Friend,
(CONFIDENTIAL)
I am Mr Musa Ahmed. The director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Africa of Bank, (BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa
with due respect and regard. 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 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 our 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 U.S $12.500.000 (Twenty Million five hundred
United States Dollars).
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 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(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
with affidavit of trust of oath 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 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.
Please i look forward to receive your urgent email. Also this is my private
phone number 00/226/7661 6831.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Musa Ahmed.
