FROM MR WILLIAM BARRY SECRETARY MANAGER, BANK OF
AFRICA(BOA) OUAGADOUGOU , BURKINA FASO .
ATTN: PLEASE!
Greeting to you!!! STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND
SECRECY I know that this email will come to you as a surprise and I hope
that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that Iâm about to
repose on you for mutual benefits of our families. I am the manager of bill and
exchange at the foreign remittance department of Bank of Africa Burkina Faso.
I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($8.2USD)
eight million two hundred thousand United States dollars to your account within
fourteen banking days. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of
($8.2USD) eight million two hundred thousand United States dollars. In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died without any
nomination of the next of kin to the bank, 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 somebody applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking policies but unfortunately
for years now non of his relations has applied for the claim..
It is
therefore upon this discovery that I 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 I don't
want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
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 have agreed that 40 % 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 50 % 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
you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations 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.
Upon
the receipt of your reply, at mr.williambarry@gmail.com I will give
you full details on how the business will be executed. Please kindly contact me
as soon as you receive this proposal.
