Private Number......00226 78 78 04 51.PLANE CRASH WEB SITE http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html ( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE") Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (DR FELIX CAMARA)a senior staff in file department in African development bank (ADB).I got your contact from a Yahoo Google Search.When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity when i prayed to God or Allah about you. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars (fifteen million U.S.A dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer MR ANDREAS SCHRANNER AND HIS WIFE MARIA,THEIR DAUGHTER ANDREA ERICH, HER HUSBAN CHISTIAN,AND THEIR CHILDREN KATHARINA, AND MAXIMILIAN,ALL PERISHED IN THE JET on (Friday December 26,2003 ) 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 at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department 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 we 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 five 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 be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 35% 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 55 % would be for me, Therefore after I and my family will visit you in your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you asarranged, 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 the money will be remitted. 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.
