Manager of Audit and Account Department,
African Development Bank {A.D.B}
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.West Africa.
Dear Friend,
Please read carefully,
I hope that you are well today.I am the Manager of Audit and account dept of our bank, with due
respect i decided to contact you over this business financial transaction worth the sum of FIVE
MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($5,300,000USD) in other to entrust this fund
into your bank account.This is an abandoned fund that belongs to the one of our bank customers who
died along with his entire family on 31 JAN,2005 in a plane crash disaster. I was very fortune to
meet the deceased file when i was arranging the old and abandoned customers files of 2004-2005 in
other to submit to the bank managements accordingly for documentation purposes.
Following our banking financial policy, it was obviously indicated and signed law fully that if
such money remains unclaimed after five years without somebody been a foreigner apply and claim the
fund as the next of kin , the money will be transferred into the Bank Treasury as an unclaimed fund.
So the request of you as a foreigner is necessarily needed for the claim because a citizen of
Burkina Faso cannot come forward to claim the fund since the law does not permit an indigence to
claim such fund Since the real beneficiary of the fund is died , the bank are expecting the next of
kin to apply for the release of the fund for him or her without delay but unfortunately i learnt
through the investigations which I carried out that there is nobody behind who can come and claim
the fund.
Therefore I want you to apply to the bank with your reliable bank account details where our bank
will transfer the fund into and immediately the fund is transferred into your account ,i will share
the fund according to the percentage indicated below.SIXTY PERCENT (60%) of the total fund will be
for me.THIRTY PERCENT( 30%) for you in provision of the Bank account.FIVE PERCENT(5%) will be for
unexpected expenses which may occur during the transfer.FIVE PERCENT(5%) will be preserved for
helping the helpless people, like charity organization and motherless babies. Thereafter you will
help me to visit your country for sharing the money according to the percentage indicated above.
And for the immediate transfer of this fund into your bank account as arranged, you must apply
first to the bank as the only existing beneficiary to the deceased customer and after approval
which will take place immediately as you applied, the transfer of the fund into your nominated bank
account will proceed.
Please note that you should keep this business secret until you confirm the transfer into the bank
account which you will provide. And there is NO RISK in this transaction. The bank will forward to
you all necessary documents related to the transfer and which will prove that you make a legal
claim of inheritance.
It is true that i pray to GOD before i was pushed forward to contact you for this business but i
want you to assure me solemnly that you are a trustworthy,reliable,honest and capable to avoid
cheating me in this business.If you are really sure of your integrity,reply immediately you receive
this mail for more detailed information on how the process to transfer the fund into your account
will be.
Thanks,
Mr.Tapsoba Pascal Ali
