After series of prayers/fasting.i was divinely directed to contact you amon=
g other names found in the data base Yahoo tourist search. I believe that G=
od has a way of helping who is in need. I am (Haji Bellow (Esq). the Head o=
f file Bank Of Africa (BOA). In my department we discovered an abandoned su=
m of $15 Million U.S.A Dollars ( Fifteen Million U.S.A Dollars) . In an acc=
ount that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his en=
tire family in (Monday 31st July 2000) in a plane crash. Since we got infor=
mation about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over=
and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies f=
or it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our bankin=
g guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin=
or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behi=
nd for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one offici=
al in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and r=
elease 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=
=92t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.The Ban=
king law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaime=
d after years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as uncl=
aimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occ=
asioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cann=
ot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money wi=
ll 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 a=
nd 60 % would be for me and my woman colleague. There after i will visit yo=
ur country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefo=
re to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you mu=
st apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indi=
cating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and=
fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the mon=
ey will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax o=
r 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 thetransfer. Y=
ou should contact me on my number Email Address immediately as soon as you =
receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Your=92s faithf=
ully, Hugo Torre (Esq).
