Subject: From Mr.Hiram Shemaiah
FROM THE DESK OF MR HIRAM SHEMAIAH
Coperate Finance Department
Bank of Africa
770 Ave Sangoule Lamzana
Burkina Faso
Good day,
I am Mr.Hiram Shemaiah ,the senior officer in charge of Corporate Finance
department of Bank of Africa Burikina faso ,With due respect and regards. I
write to solicit your assistance and collaboration in actualising a
financial transaction which could be of mutual benefits for both of us .
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $6,835,000(Six million
eight hundred and thirty five thousand dollars) in an export dormicilliary
account database which belongs to a deceased foreign customer who died
along with his entire family in a plane crash that took place on 31
October,1999.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be released unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately , his supposed next of
kin died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for
the claim. Therefore, upon this discovery I have decided to establish a
cordial business relationship with you, hence my contacting you to enable
both of us claim this fund .
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money is not
claimed eight years after the death of the decedent, the account will be
closed and the fund will be reverted into the government treasury as
unclaimed fund in accordance with the Burkina Faso laws of Intestate
succession.The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a
foreign citizen to stand as the next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
On smooth conclusion, you will be entitled to 40 % of the total sum as
compensation for your role in this project while 60 % will be for me.There
after, I will come over to your country for disbursement according the
percentages indicated.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is one hundred percent risk free. I guarantee that this project
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and
Me, from any breach of the law.
Upon the receipt of your letter of interest to participate in this financial
transaction,I will send to you by email the TEXT OF THE APPLICATION OF CLAIM
to you to fill out and send to the office of the foreign operations of the
bank for the claim . I do not need to remind you of the absolute secrecy and
confidentiality that this transaction demands. I suggest you get back to me
in my alternative email address(hiramshemaiah10@freesurf.fr) as soon as
possible stating your wish in this transaction.
Best regard
Mr.HIRAM SHEMAIAH
Senior officer
Corporate Finance Department
