DEAR FRIEND,
WITH DUE RESPECT, I WISH TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM THE MANAGER OF
FOREIGN REMITTANCE AND EXCHANGE DEPT AT AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB).
BURKINA- FASO,WEST AFRICA
IN MY DEPARTMENT I DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF USD$6.5M DOLLARS (SIX
MILLION , FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLAR).IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS
TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONGSIDE WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY
IN A CONCORD PLANE CRASH THE YEAR 2000 , THAT ALMOST TOOK THE LIFE OF
THE WHOLE PASSENGERS ON BOARD.
SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, THE BANK HAVE BEEN EXPECTING
HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE THE BANK
CANNOT RELEASE IT UNLESS SOMEONE APPLIES FOR IT AS NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION
TO THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDLINES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY
WE LEARNT THAT ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION THAT KNOWNS
ABOUT THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION DIED ALONGSIDE WITH HIM AT THE PLANE CRASH
LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM.
IT IS THEREFORE UNPON THIS DISCOVERY THAT I NOW DECEIED TO MAKE THIS
BUSINNES PROPOSAL TO YOU AND FOR THE MONEY BE RELEASE TO YOU AS THE NEXT
OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED, SINCE NOBODY WILL EVER COME FOR IT.
I DO NOT WANT THIS MONEY TO GO INTO THE TREASURY OF THE BANK AS
UNCLAIMED FUND.
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH MONEY
REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER SIX YEARS,THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK
TREASURY ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED FUND.
THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS TRANSACTION IS
OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A BURKINABE CANNOT
STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
IN SUBSEQUENT DISBURSEMENT OF THE MONEY, I AGREE THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY
WILL BE FOR YOU INRESPECT OF THE PROVISION YOU MADE BY STANDING IN THE
CLAIM AS NEXT OF KIN,10% WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURE DURING
THE TRASACTION ON TAXES THAT WILL ARISE AND 60%WOULD BE FOR ME AND MY
COLLEAGUES.
AS SOON AS THE MONEY HIT INTO YOUR ACCOUNT I WILL COME OVER TO YOUR
COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES INDICATED ABOVE.
TO MAKE THE CLAIM, YOU WILL FIRST OF ALL APPLY TO THE BANK BY SENDING A
TEXT OF APPLICATION WHICH I WILL SEND TO YOU FOR YOU TO FILL AND SEND
TO THE BANK.
IN THE APPLICATION YOU WILL INDICATE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT,YOUR PRIVATE FAX
AND YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR EASY AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.
UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY,I WILL SEND TO YOU BY EMAIL THE TEXT OF
APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL SEND TO THE BANK.I WILL NOT FAILTO BRING TO
YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS HITCH FREE AND YOU DO NOT
ENTERTAIN ANY ATOM OF FEAR AS ALL REQUIRED ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE
SUCCESS OF THE TRANSFER.
