FROM THE DESK OF MR.MOHAMED KABORE
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING
SECTION OF BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO
WEST AFRICA
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Mohamed Kabore the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Bank of Africa
(BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West-Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact
you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of
money belonging to our deceased customer who died with his entire family in a plane crash. The
fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
For more information about the crash you can visit this site:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
The said amount was U.S $12.5M (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). As it
may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through yahoo search on foreign
business relations here in Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put
claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin and business associate to the deceased, to get the
required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and
directives, and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and
willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil
servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an
eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual
reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin and
business associate to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to
be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own
designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for
me. Please, you have been advised to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to
retire from service after we conclude this deal. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in
this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary
vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I will be expecting to hear soonest.
Have a nice day
Mr Mohamed Kabore
