Urgent From Mr, lawrence Clifford To you,
With Due Respect,
 
Dear Friend,
 
I am Mr Lawrence Clifford the Director in Charge of Auditing Section in ECO BANK Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso  West Africa ; I crave your indulgence as i contact you in such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you read this letter carefully as I am sure it wills open doors for unimaginable financial rewards for both of us. In my department our bank we discovered an abandoned sum of forty Million US dollars (US $40million dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plan crash.
 
Since we got informationâs about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as 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 along with him at the plan crash leaving nobody behind to come for the claim.
 
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the money could be released to you as the next of kin for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i donât 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 five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as "unclaimed fund" The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 35% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me.
 
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location wherein the money will be remitted. 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 need a capable and able person who will handle and manage this fund maturely because it is not a small amount of project. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you urgently.
 
Yours faithfully,
Mr,Lawrence Clifford.
