SECTION MANAGER BANK
OF AFRICA BURKINA FASO.
DEAR FRIEND I KNOW THAT THIS LETTER MAY COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE. I GOT YOUR ADDRESS THROUGH A LOCAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY ON WEB.
I MUST APPOLOGISE FOR TAKING SOME OF YOUR AVAILUABLE TIME TO EXPLAIN A PROPOSAL THAT I BELIEVE WILL BE OF UTMOST BENEFIT TO US.
I AM AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER BANK OF AFRICA. IN MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF $11,300,000.00 USD(ELEVEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ) IN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH
HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN AN PLANE CRASH ON THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 31ST 1999.
VIEW THE SITE; http://www.cnn.com/US/9910/31/missing.plane.02/ OR on BBC WORD NEWS link:
SINCE THE BANK GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE THE FUND UNLESS SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS
NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDELINES AND LAWS BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE LEARNT THAT ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN DIED ALONGSIDE WITH HIM AT THE PLANE CRASH LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM AND OUR BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINS UNCLAIMED AFTER TEN YEARS,SUCH MONEY WILL BE MOVED INTO THE BANKING TREASURER AS UNCLAIMED FUND.
THE REQUEST OF A FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE
DECEASED CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND BURKINA FASO CITEZEN CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN.
35% OF THE TOTAL MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS A FOREIGNER PARTNER WHILE 5% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO COVER ANY EXPENSES THAT MIGHT BE INCURED DURING THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERING THE FUND TO YOUR NOMINATED BANK
ACCOUNT.
THERE IS AN EXPENSES IN THIS BUSINESS FOR YOU TO KNOW EARLIER,IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HANDLE THIS DEAL WITH ME KINDLY GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR
TELE ----------------
FAX ----------------
THIS FOR EASY COMMUNICATION AND YOUR PERSONAL PICTURE TO ENABLE ME KNOW WHOM I AM DEALING WITH. I WILL SEND YOU APPLICATION FORM WHICH YOU WILL APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BANK.
NOTE.
I DEMAND A HIGHEST TRUST FROM YOU TO KEEP THIS BUSINESS STRICKLY CONFIDENTIAL FOR SECURITY REASONS AS YOU MAY KNOW THAT THE BANK DO
NOT KNOW THAT I AM THE ONE WHO CONTACTED YOU TO STAND FOR THIS CLAIM.
BEST REGARDS
