This message might meet you in utmost surprise however,it's just my urgent need for foreign partner that made me contact you for this transaction I am a banker by profession from BURKINA-FASO in west Africa and currently holding the post of Director in Auditing and Acct. Section in our bank OUAGADOU-BURKINA-FASO office. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$12.5M,( US Dollars) with account number 14-2558-5976 that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his wife and only daughter in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed in june, 2000. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and a resident of Alaska. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after SIX years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more than three years and I am preparing documentaion to prove this money transfered to our bank treasury. This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabé cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.In appreciation of your assistance, I am offering you 30% of the total sum. 5% for contingencies (cost of transfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course of transaction, while the remaining 65% is for me.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to be paid to you as the next of kin to Mr.Morris Thompson.
