THE DESK OF:
MR. AHMED QUATARA,
BILLS AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK,
OUAGADOUGOU ANNEX,
BURKINA FASO.
My Dear
Friend,
First and foremost, I want you to accept my apologies for any inconveniences
this mail might cause you to read.
I am the Manager of Bills and Exchange Section at the
foreign remittance department of African Development Bank here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$15.2m US dollars (Fifteen million two
hundred thousand US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died
along with his entire family in a plane crash. 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 guide lines 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 now 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 guide lines here stipulate that if such
money remained unclaimed after fours 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 Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me
Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you 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
where in 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 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 me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting To Hear From You Immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Ahmed Quatara
