Subject: PLEASE REPLY URGENTLY..
FROM THE DESK OF:MR. BUKARI AHMED
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT,
OFFSHORE OFFICE,OUAGADOUGOU,
BURKINA-FASO.
Dearest, I am the Bill and Exchange(assistant) Manager of the Africa
development Bank, MR.BUKARI AHMED. In my department I discovered an
abandoned sum of USD$7.300.000 (SEVEN MILLION THREE HUNDERS U.S.A DOLLARS).
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along
with his wife and two children in July 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
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased, as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him in the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I in my department now decided to make this business proposals to you
and release the money to you as next of kin or relation to 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 fund.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remains
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner in this transaction is
necessary because our late customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot
stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 40% of this money will be
for you as foreigner partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and
50% would be for me and my colleague, after which we shall visit your
country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank, and send your account number, your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location
where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to
you by fax or e-mail the text of the application which you shall retype and
fax to our foreign remittance maneger,for easy execution of the transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100%
hitch-free on both side. As all required arrangement have been made for the
transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this
letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
I expect your urgent reply onmy email:bukariahmed1@yahoo.fr
Best regards.
MR.BUKARI AHMED.
BILL AND EXCHANGE (ASSIST.)MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ANNEXE,
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
