Dear Friend,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we have never met
before.My name is DR.SALIF SAMNE,I am the bill and exchange manager in Bank
OF Africa.I Hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and
confident that i am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our
both families.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our Bank who perished along
with his next of kin with Korean Air Line, flight number 801 with the whole
passengers on 6th of augustus 1997 and for your perusal you can view this
site http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has
come to claim his funds of US$11.3M (Eleven Million Three Hundred Thoudsand
United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very long time.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next
of Kin since nobody is coming for the fund again.The Banking ethics here
does not allow such money to stay more than eight years, because the money
will be recalled to the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through the internet when i was making a
research on a foreigner that I will use in this great upportunity because i
dont want the money to be recalled to our Bank treasury as uncliamed fund.
The reason for a foreigner in the business is for the fact that the deceased
man was a foreigner and it is not authorized by the law guiding our Bank
for a citizen of BURKINA FASO to make the claim of the fund.So the request
of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and transfer of
the fund smoothly into your reliable Bank account as the Next Of Kin to the
deceased.
If you are really sure of your integerity, trustworthy and confidentiality,
and accept not to cheat or disappoint me after this business, reply with
your telephone and fax numbers and banking account details where you wish to
receive the fund.
Upon receipt of the above mentioned informations,indicating your interest in
the business,I will send you by fax or e-mail a letter of application which
you will type and send back to our bank to enable us start this
transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free on
both sides and dont have any negative impact.You should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has
been finalized, this transaction will be completed within 10 bank working
day immediately you applied to the Bank as relation to the deceased
customer.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours sincerely,
DR.SALIF SAMNE
