Subject: Urgent and confidential.
Urgent and confidential. Sir/ Madam.
For your kind attention. I wish to make of a transfer involving a huge amount, and it is my pleasure to contact you for friendship and business collaboration after going through your profile.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of {$ 15.000.000} {fifteen million dollars} in account belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family 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 fund since the bank can not release it unless somebody applies for it according to our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, i lent 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 decided to make this business to a foreign partner as the next of kin to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it. And the banking law guideline here stipulate that, if such money remained unclaimed immediately after {five years} it will be transfers into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of this foreign partner is occasioned by the fact that, the departed client was a foreigner and it is impossible for a BURKINABE to apply as the next of kin to this deceased client. In that case, {50%} of this money will be for you as foreign partners respect to the provision of a foreign account and {50%} would be for me. There after, i will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Meanwhile, you are to arranged for a comfortable bank account whereby the money will be remit and secure for both of us.
Mutual agreement: Cause this transaction needed immediate attention, including financial only. In that case, i will be responsible for the expenses during this transfer process without hesitate. Moreover, this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will shelter this transaction from any breach of the law, cause we have secured from the probate court an order of mandamus to locate any beneficiaries to the deceased client. Moreover, i will not fail to bring your notice that, i guarantee this transaction as a banker and you should not entertain any atom of fear cause i am still on service.
I really count on your sense to keep this transaction confidentiality, and contact me immediately as you received this letter through my confidential email address: officialism@safe-mail.net
Thanks for your collaboration.
Yours authentically.
Mr. Amen w. oghun.
