FROM THE DESK OF Mr,GILBERT POLO.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) OUAGADOUGOU,
BURKINA FASO WEST AFRICA.
PHONE CONTACT 00226.78.89.77.34.
DEAR FRIEND,
I know you may be surprise to recieve this e-mail ; I got your contact
address from the internet while I was searching for my friend that has
similar name with you.I am the manager of bill and exchange BANK OF AFRICA
(B.O.A) at foreign remittance department.There is a business I would want
you to champion for me, in my department I discovered an abandoned sum of
($31.500.000 U.S) thirty one million five hundred thousands US dollars). In
an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with
his entire family on 25TH JULY, 2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590]
with the whole passenger’s aboard. The name of the deceased man
was(MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich Germany) N.B. In other for you to
believe me honestly, visit the web site to enable you know whether we can
work together, below is the website.

You have to understand that I come crossed this huge amount of money when I
was arranging the departmental customers file to submit to the bank
management for the annual audit of the year.
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's 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 relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after some years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkina citizen cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.In fact I could
have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a
civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate any foreign account
and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in the same bank. This is the actual reason why it
will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of
kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the
money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due
verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where
the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill, I
agree that 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 business and 60 % would be for me. There after I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you
must apply first to the bank as relations 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 location where in
the money will be remitted.
All modalities of this transaction have been carefully worked out and once
started will not take more than fourteen (14) working days, with your full
support.This transaction is 100% risk free. it involve no any implication
and no any precaution there after. 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.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter
through my private number;00226.78.89.77.34.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Mr,GILBERT POLO.
Bill and exchange manager,
BANK OF AFRICA
