Dear friend, I assume you and your family are in good health. I am Mohammed Salman, the Foreign Operations Manager in African Development Bank Group here in Burkina Faso. This being a wide world in which it can be difficult to make new acquaintances and because it is virtually impossible to know who is trustworthy and who can be believed, i have decided to repose confidence in you after much fasting and prayer. It is only because of this that I have decided to confide in you and to share with you this confidential business. In my bank; there resides an overdue and unclaimed sum of thirteen million two hundred thousand United States dollars ($13,200,000.00). When the account holder suddenly passed away in a private jet crash , he left no beneficiary who would be entitled to the receipt of these fund. For this reason, i have found it expedient to transfer this fund to a trustworthy individual with capacity to act as foreign business partner. Thus i humbly request your assistance to claim this fund. Upon the transfer of this fund in your account, you will take 32% as your share from the total fund, 10% will be shared to Charity Organizations in both country and 58% will be for me. Please if you are really sure you can handle this project, contact me immediately I am looking forward to read from you soon. Yours faithfully,
Mohammed Salman
