Dear Friend,
I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of
Africa, Ouagadougou . I decided to contact you after a careful thought that you
may be capable of handling this business transaction which I explained
below;
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $13.5m US dollars
(Thirteen million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 2007 in
a plane crash.
Since i got information about his death, The bank have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because The fund cannot be released
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that his supposed
next of kin(his son and wife) died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim .It is therefore upon this discovery that I now
decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as
the next of kin (I want to present you as his business associate )to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it
and I don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
Unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 55% would be for me . There after I
will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the deceased
customer.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction
is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer..
I expect that you contact me immediately as soon as you receive this
letter, and send me your personal data including your international passport
before i send you the full details for continuation of this
transaction.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Kabo Uago
