FROM THE DESK OF DR AZA ISSA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA( BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
ATTN- dear
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department
of BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)
In my departmentn we discovered an abandoned sum of
TEN million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one
of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in
november 2000 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
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 alongside with him at
the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore
upon this
discovery that I and other officials in my department now
decided to make
this businness 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 guideline here stipulates that if such
money remained
unclamed after four years, the money will be transfered
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.
We agree that 30 % 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 incured during the business and 60 % would be for
;me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your
country for
disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer 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 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
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 .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive
this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your?s faithfully,
DR AZA ISSA
Bill and exchange manager,
BANK OF AFRICA
