BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICA,
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE
TEL:225 0713 2310
FAX:225 0713 2311
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of BANK OF AFRICA,ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE. 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 22.85m US Dollars (
twenty two milllion eight hundred and Fifty thousand us dollars)in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who unfortunately
died in the plane crash along with his family while travelling for
Christmas holidays with Union Transport Africains Flight Boeing 727 in
Cotonou, Benin republic on the December 25,2003.
You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this website
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
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 therefore
upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to
you
and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased 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 Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclamed after four year, the money will be transfered 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 agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account and 70% would be for ME;
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or 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
location where in
the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or 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 can contact me on the telephone/fax numbers above or you can reply
on my private email address:
mbo_private@yahoo.fr
Your's faithfully
DR.MUSTAFA BELLO
