FROM MR. JUBRIL ISSA,
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER.
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO,
WEST AFRICA.

Dear Friend,

Mutually Beneficial Transaction

I am Mr Jubril Issa, Manager of the Bill and Exchange Unit in the Foreign Remittance department of Bank of Africa (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$9.5m U.S dollars (Nine Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany who died along with his entire family in Jully 2000 in a plane crash. Do visit this website for more news on the ill-fated plane crash that claimed all 109 lives
@news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of 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 guidelines and laws. We learnt unfortunately however that his supposed next of kin died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now 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 we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking laws and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after seven 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 so a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to the claim.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you in respect of the provision of a foriegn account. 10% will be for expenses incurred during the transaction and 60% would be for me. I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated upon complete transfer of this funds.To enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as will be arranged,you will apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin to the deceased with a text of application form that I will send to you when I hear from you. Do not hesitate to send to me your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application . Let me bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer of this fund once you accept to partner with me. Do contact me as soon as you receive this letter througth my pravity email address:[email protected]

Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Mr. Jubril Issa.

sorry

I think desparation mixed with a huge dollop of naivety makes people fall for it.

Not a problem a welcome distraction from filling in yet another set of seating plans.
