Subject: VERY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF Mr AMARA BEDIE.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
WEST AFRICA.
VERY URGENT AND
CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
I am Mr AMARA BEDIE.AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER of the BANK OF AFRICA
(B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$20.5m dollars (TWENTY
MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who
died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.

Since the bank got information about his death, they have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because they cannot release it
unless his next of kin applies for it or relation to the deceased customer
as indicated in our banking guidlings 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 for you
to come and stand as the next of kin or relation to the deceased customer
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 guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after seven 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 fund to you as arranged,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 location where in the money will be
remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application form which you fill and send to the bank for approval.
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.
Trusting to hear from you immediately. Please do copy and send your reply to
this my private email address.

Thanks yours Faithfully,
Mr AMARA BEDIE.
