FROM ALHAJI BAHTUSI BAHLI
FORIEGN CREDIT OFFICER,
BANK OF AFRICA,(B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO
WEST AFRICA.
ASA-LAM-ALYKUM,
I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise I got your contact
Address when I was searching for a business Partner.
My name is Alhaji Bahtusi Bahli. I am the CREDIT OFFICER at Bank of
Africa,Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of NINE MILLION ONE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($9.120m) that belongs to one of
our customer who died along with his entire famillies, in the year 2003 In a
PLANE CRASH with the whole passengers aboard. The name of the deceasedman
was ENGINEER KASHMIAR ANTOUAN from LEBANON.
Since I got information about his death, I 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 person 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 banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such Money remains
unclaimed after six years the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late
Customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a
Foreigner.
I have agreed that 35% of th is money will be for you as foreigner Partner
in respect to the provision of a foreign account.5% 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.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as we
arranged,you will furnished me with a good receiving account detail where
the money will be transferred, your private telephone and fax number for
easy Communication.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail a text of
the application which you shall re-type and fax to our foreign remittance
manager,for easy execution of the transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100%
risk-free on both side. As all required arrangement have been made for the
Transfer.
Please I would like, you to keep this transaction confidential and as a top
Secret as you may wi sh to know that I am a Bank official.
Please i needed your urgent response over this transaction.
Yours Sincerely
ALHAJI BAHTUSI BAHLI.
