With due respect to your person and much sincerity of
purpose, I make this contact with you as I believe that you can be of great
assistance to me. My name is Dr. Alhaji Mohammed Atiko from Ouagadougou Republic
of BURKINA FASO, West Africa . Presently i work in the African development Bank
as telex manager. I have been searching for your contact since you left our
country some years ago.
I do not know whether this is your correct email
address or not because I only used your name initials to search for your contact
.In case you are not the person I am supposed to contact, please see this as a
confidential message and do not reveal it to another person but if you are not
the intended receiver, do let me know whether you can be of assistance regarding
my proposal below because it is top secret.
I am about to retire from
active Bank service to start a new life but I am sceptical to reveal this
particular secret to a stranger. You must assure me that everything will be
handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in
life.
It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy African
Politicians used our bank to launder money overseas through the help of their
Political advisers. Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores
of Africa were gold and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop
the continent. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before
transfer to foreign accounts so I also used the opportunity to divert part of
the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was
transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after
transfer.
I acted as the Bank Officer to most of the politicians and when I
discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act; I also
cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to
ask me because the money was too much for them to control. They laundered over
$5b Dollars during the process .As I am sending this message to you, I was able
to divert five million united state dollars ($5m) to an escrow account belonging
to no one in the bank. The bank is anxious now to know who the beneficiary to
the funds is because they have made a lot of profits with the funds.
It is more than Eight years now and most of the politicians are no longer
using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($5) Million Dollars has been
laying waste but I don't want to retire from the bank without transferring the
funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver.
The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no one
coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything. I only want you
to assist me by providing a bank account where the funds can be transferred. You
are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle
the transfer personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me
know immediately to enable me give you a detailed information on what to
do.
For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other
people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is my chance
also to grab my own but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid
any leakages as no one in the bank knows about the funds.
Please get
back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project
I shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation and
acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do declare your
consent to me.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully, Dr. Alhaji Mohammed
Atiko.
