barging this message into your mail box without any formal introduction due
to the urgency and confidential of this issue and i know that this message
will come to you as a surprise, Pls this is not a joke and i will not like

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client crude oil dealer MR.HUS BEN AN
AMERICAN who was with the Iraqi oil industries and also
oil supplier to republic of Burkina Faso made a numbered fixed deposit for18
calendar months, with a value of fitteen million two hundred Thousand United
State Dollars($m15.2,000,000,00) only in our bank.
Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which
began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still
no response came from him. We later find out that the oil dealer MR HUS BEN
along with hiswife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a
bomb blast thathit their home. You can read more about the bombings on
visiting these sites below:

After further investigation it was also discovered that MR.HUS BEN did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paperwork of
his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my
office that no one except me knew of his deposit in our bank So I need your
urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($15.2)millions usd into your
bank accountwithin 7working banking days. What bothers me most is that
according to the laws of country A burkinabe cannot come out and claim this
fund. I don't want the money to go into our Bank treasure as an
abandonedfund. So this is the reason why i contacted you so that our bank
will release thismoney to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer.

arise on the process, Because i don't want anyone here in our bank to know
my involvement until you confirm this fund into your account and ask me to
come over for the sharing as iindicated.
Then after i and my colleagues will visit your contry for disbursement
acconding to the percentage indicated. therefore to enable the immediate
transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank
