AN IMMEDIATE NEED OFNEXT OF KIN .
HOPE THAT THIS MAIL WILL MEET YOU IN GOOD CONDITION.
MY NAME IS BARRISTER. WILLIAM BURKIN PAUL, OF OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO IN AFRICAN COUNTRY. PRESENTLY,
I AM AT SPAIN A COUNTRY IN EUROPE. I ARIVED HERE ON BEHALF OF MY FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS
ENTIRE FAMILY IN (FRIDAY DECEMBER 26, 2003) IN A PLANE CRASH. HE IS A BUSINESS MACHANDISE WITH AN ACCOUNT IN
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ADB. BURKINA-FASO THERE AT MY COUNTRY. HE HAS ABOUT $ 15 MILLION USA.THERE IN HIS
ACCUNT.
SINCE THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH REACHED TO MY INFORMATION AS HIS REPRESENTETIVE THERE AT MY COUNTRY,
HIS BANKERS HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE THEY CANNOT
RELEASE IT UNLESS SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN THEIR
BANKING GUIDELINES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY 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 ON THIS GROUND THAT I AM HERE AT SPAIN TO SEARCH FOR A RELAYEBLE AND TRUSTWHATHYFORIGEN PERTINER
WHO COULD STAND AS HIS NEXT OF KIN SO THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNT CAN BE RELEASED TO THE PERSON
UNDER MY RECOMMENDATION. IF YOU ARE INTRESTING, I WILL PRESENT YOU TO THE BANK SO THAT THE TOTAL SUM IN THE
ACCOUNT CAN BE RELEASED TO YOU.
THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE 30 % OF THIS
MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER, IN RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, 10 % WILL BE
SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURED DURING THE BUSINESS AND 60 % WOULD BE FOR ME AND PARTNERS.
I AND MY PARTNERS WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES INDICATED.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRNANSFER OF THIS FUND TO YOU AS
ARRANGED, I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS RISK FREE AND YOU SHOULD NOT
ENTERTAIN ANY ATOM OF FEAR AS ALL THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE TRANSFER.
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU THROUGH EMAIL william_burlinpaul@yahoo.com
TELEPHONE: +34- 639-01-97-50, FOR MORE DETAILS.
THANK YOU.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
BARRISTER WILLIAM BURKIN PAUL
