Subject: can we work together?.............
*Dear Friend,*
*I am Mr.Yako Borro I am the Head of the Accounts Department of my bank in
Burkina Faso . Recently, we discovered an abandoned huge of money valued at
US$20.5m (twenty million,five hundred US dollars) that belongs to one of
our numerous customers ,Who unfortunately died in the plane Crash of Union
Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Benin republic on the
December 26, 2003.*
*You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this website:*
*http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/
africa/12/26/benin.crash/*<http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/>
*In the course of our investigation we discovered that the deceased died
along with his entire family in the same flight, thereby leaving no body to
come for the claim of his huge money deposit in our bank.*
*According to the banking law,the money will be bequeathed to the government
if it remains unclaimed with the next couple months. However, I don't belong
to that school of thought who proposes that the fortunes of unlucky people
be given to the government and I am fully convinced that no one would turn
up to execute the letter of Administration to claim his funds before the
next 2 months. Hence, I decided to contact you to come in as the next of kin
to my late customer so that the funds totalling $20,500,000.00 can then be
transferred to your nominated bank account in your country within 21 working
days after we have filed in your claims transfer application to the bank.*
*I will prepare every operation that will assist you to claim the funds as
the next of kin and everything will be left between you and me. The Share
would be 40% for you and 60% for me.*
*Again, I feel that you may be apprehensive and consider this amount too big
for you to defend. It does not matter, as there are documents to back it
up.This transaction is risk free and as the most senior account manager with
the bank is rest assured that all documents to enable you get this fund as
the next of kin will be carefully worked. Do not be bothered that you are
not related in any way to my late customer as I am in position to affix your
name as the next of kin.*
*If this proposal meets your interest, I'll like you to urgently reach me
through my personal email address **yakoborro@b-o-africa.co.cc** to enable
me give you the specimen of the Text Of Application that you will fill as a
next of kin to the deceased account owner and submit to the bank director
for his urgent attention and direct payment to you.*
*I need not emphasize the confidentiality of this issue and I therefore
appeal to you not discuss this request with anybody, even if you decline to
take full advantage of this great and urgent opportunity in my bank.*
*Please do include the following in your reply to this mail; *
*(1)Private telephone number .......................*
*(2)Fax number ............................*
*(3)Contact address .........................*
*(4)Age/Date of Birth .........................*
*I await your urgent response through my private email address written
below.*
