Subject: GOOD DAY
FROM:DR .ALI MOMODO.
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT,
BANK OF AFRICA(B.O.A),
DAKAL SENEGAL.
Dear friend,
I know that this letter may come to you as a suprise. I got your
contact
address from the Internet when I was searching for a business partner.
My name is DR .ALI MOMODO. I am the Bill and Exchange Manager of bank
of
africa (B.O.A) ,DAKAL SENEGAL .
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$25. Million
(TWENTY
FIVE MILLION U.S DOLLARS). In an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customer who died along with his wife and
children in
a plane crash in a year 2000 plane crash happened in america .
Since we got information about his death, the bank 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 the 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
in the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this
business
proposals to you and release the money to you as next of kin or
relation to
the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming
for it because I don't want the money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our
late
customer was a foreigner and a Senegalise cannot stand as next of kin to
a
foreigner. I have agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as
foreigner
partner in respect to the provision of a foreign account.10% will be
set
aside
for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me,
after
which I shall visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Sincerely.
DR .ALI MOMODO.
