FROM THE DESK OF MUSTAFA BELLO
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend ,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of bank of africa(B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.5m dollars in an Account belonging to one of our foreign customer.Who died alongside with his entire family on Monday, 31 July, 2000 in a plane crash in paris.Please visit this site that is one of the evidence the directors brought in other to swallow the money at the end of the day,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of
kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and my colleagues decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for
safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Eight and half years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. we agree
that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my
colleagues.
Thereafter, we will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your designited bank account, you
must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application that we will send to you,so we will like you to send to us your private telephone and
fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, we will send to you by fax or email the text of the application .
we 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. You should contact us immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
