FROM THE DESK OF HAMID ESSA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
bANK OF AFRICA. OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO. TOP SECRET Dear Friend
I am MR HAMID ESSA the bill and
exchange manager at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA.I got
your contact from the internet ,while seaching for an honest and trust worthy
person, who will assist me to implement this transfer. l discovered the sum of
Twenty Two million and five hundred thousand United States Dollars (USD22.5M)
belonging to a deceased customer of this bank.The fund has been lying in a
suspence account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since the
account owner late Mr Salla khatif from Lebanese , who was involved in the
December 25th 2003 Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash website on cnn =
The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account whose owner
will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer of
the bank. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next if 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 guidlines and laws 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
decided to make this business 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 I don't want this money to go
into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if suchmoney remained
unclaimed after five 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
occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot
stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I therefore soliciting for your assistance
to come forward as the next of kin,I have agreed that 40% of this money will be
for you as the beneficiary in respect of the provision of your Account and
services rendered, 55% would be for me while 5% will be for expencses incured
during the cause of thIS transaction If the money is transferred to your Account
from BANK OF AFRICA,
I and my family in this transaction will proceed immediately to your
country for our own share of the money.I expect you to keep this business
strictly confidential and secret as you may wish to know that I am Bank
official. Be rest assured that this business is 100% riskfree on both side and
every arrangement to transfer this money to the Account you are going to provide
have been concluded provided we maintain the confidentiality and secreceirity
involved.Contact me on my email address I am looking forward for your prompt
response.
Yours faithfully, MR HAMID ESSA Live Earth is coming. Learn more about the hottest summer event - only on MSN. Check it out! BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL
