FROM THE DESK OF ALI ADAMA.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
Attn:
I am the Auditing and Accounting Manager, Bank of Africa (B.O.A) here in
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sumof
US$11.3m dollars (TWENTY FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that
belongsto one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich,
Germany) who died along with his entire family in Jully 2000 in a plane
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
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidings and laws 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 now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
relationto the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody
is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury
as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occassioned 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 a respect to the provision
of a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable
the immediate transfer of this funds you must apply first to the bank as
relation 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 the location where 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.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
ALI ADAMA.
