Auditing and Accounting Unit,

BOA,bank of africa ouagadougou
Burkina-faso
GOOD DAY,
I am Mr.sikiru mohammed ,one of the Directors in charge
of Auditing and
Accounting section, HBZ Bank Ltd.in South Africa
and
also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing
Department of this Bank.
With due respect and regard, I have decided to
contact you on a
Business Transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank,
my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to one
Deceased Mr.Morris
Thompson 61 years,of Fairbanks, Alaska America who
died on January 31st 2000
As 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
because he did not indicate any next of kin to this
account incase of death such as this.
The amount is U.S $15.m
( FiFTEEN Million United States Dollars).As
it may interest you to know; I got your email
address when i was browsing
on my
computers and my innermost spirit directed that you
the right person for
this deal..
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the
Director of Auditing
and Accounting, I have in my possession all the
necessary documents to
perfect this deal by making you the bonafide next of
kin/Partner whom
this money will be transferred into his account.
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this
deal done.
Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position
to be presented
through documentation as the next of kin/Partner
since the deceased is
also 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 35%
of the total sum as gratification,while 1% will be
set aside to take
care of expenses that may arise during the time of
transfer and also
telephone bills, while 64% will be for me and my
partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top
Secret" as we are
still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude
this deal with you. And I assure you that this
transaction will not
last more than 10 working days and you confirm the
money in your
account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in
this bank until you
confirm the money in your account. And ask us 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.I expect your
urgent reply as soon
as you receive this message.
Best Regards,
sikiru mohammed
