STREET Rue Joseph Anoma

Dear Sir/Madam
I Am Mr.Edward Bossale in charge of bills and foreign
exchange remittance Department of African Development Bank
I am writing you this letter to ask for your support
and co-operation to carry out this business
opportunity in my department.
We discovered an unclaimed sum of $10 Million (ten
million dollars) in an account belonging to one of our
customer, who died in a plane crash with the entire
family in year 2003.
Since we got information about his death we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his
money.
Unfortunately, neither the family nor the relation has
appeared to claim this money. We cannot release this
moneyunless somebody applies as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased.
Our banking guidelines indicated that if such money
remained unclaimed for a period of four (4) years, it
would be transferred into the African Development Bank
Treasury as unclaimed fund.
Another officer and I in the department now decided to
transfer this money into your account as the next of
kin or relation of the deceased for easy collection
since nobody is coming for it and we don¢t want this
money to go back into the bank treasury as an
unclaimed fund.
Infact it is my friend that advised me to urgently
arrange to transfer out this money through another
foreign beneficiary outside the country.

agreed on a sharing Ration:

when themoney is finally in your account and we shall
be relying on your advise as regards, to investment of
our share, be informed that this transaction is
genuine and 100% risk free considering the top level
bank officials involved.
As you know that I enjoy good office here with the
bank and I will use my personality to make the
official application on your behalf for approval of
this money into your nominated account thereby having
the bank transfer this money into your bank account.
I will advice that you furnish me with the necessary
details for me to make the official application of
claim on your behalf as the next of kin and
beneficiary of this money with out wasting time.
Here are the details I will need to make the
application.
