01 FROM:MR.JAMES MAZEN
02 THE DIRECTOR, AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION,
03 BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)
04 OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO
05 WEST AFRICA.
06 Dear Friend,
07 I am the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting section of Bank of
08 Africa(BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso west africa.I crave your indulgence as
09 i contact you in such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you
10 read this letter carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for
11 unimaginable financial rewards for both of us.
12 In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of Seven Million Two Hundred
13 Thousand US dollars (US$7.2m) in account that belongs to one of our foreign
14 customers who died on 11th September 2001,in the evening of World Trade
15 Centre Terrorist Attack.Since we got information about his death, we have
16 been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because
17 bank cannot release it unless somebody applies as next of kin or relation
18 to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately
19 there is no one that comes for the claim.
20 It is therefore upon this that I now decided to make this business proposal
21 to you so that the money could be released to you as the next of kin or
22 relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
23 nobody is coming for it and i dont want this money to go into the bank
24 treasury as unclaimed Bill.The request for a foreigner as next of kin in
25 this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
26 and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. i agree that
27 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner in respect to the
28 provision of a foreign account, 60% would be for me.
29 There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
30 percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this
31 fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or
32 next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name,your bank account
33 number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
34 communication and location wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt
35 of your reply,I will send to you by fax or email the full details of the
36 transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction
37 is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atorm of fear as all
38 required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
39 Trusting to hear from you immediately.
40 Yours faithfully,
41 Mr.James Mazen.
