Dear friend,
REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER OF THE SUM OF TWENTY

I am MR KARIM AHMED .The Director in charge of Auditing section African
Development Bank (A.D.B) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa. Forgive my
indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise. I have decided to
contact you on a project that will be very beneficiary both of us at the
end.
During our auditing in this Bank, my department came across some amount of
money belonging to a deceased costumer late Mr. Sheu Yuan-dong the governor
of Taiwan central bank. Who died on February 16, 1998 in a plane crash with
his entire families. The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank
without any claim of the fund. As indicated in our banking guidelines, this
bank cannot release this unless somebody applies for it as his or her next
of kin but unfortunately we learnt that all his nearest next of kin who is
imposition to claim this money is died alongside with him at the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim
The said amount was $ 22.6m US dollars (Twenty two Million six hundred
thousand US dollars) and the management of this bank has conclude that after
this year 2006 if there is no claim over the fund, The money will be
transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. I don’t want this
money to go into the Bank treasury account . i want to transfer this money
out of the country but such fund can not be transferred without a next of
kin attached to the fund before the bank could be able to released.
This transaction is 100% risk free and The request of foreigner in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkina-be cannot stand as next of kin to the foreigners. All the whole
arrangement to put your claim over this fund as the Bona fide next of kin to
the deceased, has been put in place and directives will be relayed to you
as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also
benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
We agree 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 incurred during the transaction and the remaining 60 % would be for
me and my colleagues. There after I will visit your country for subsequent
sharing according to the percentages indicated.
Please you have been advised to keep "top secret" as I am still in service
and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you. I
will fly down to your country for further investment will be discussed. I
intend to established a manufacturing company in your country and also

partner please email for a brief discussion before we proceed. Please keep
this proposal secret, even if you don’t want to assist me.
