DEAREST FRIEND,

I AM THE SENIOR OFFICER INCHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT OF THE
BANK OF AFRICA ( B.O.A ) HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
IN MY DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE JUST DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF $10.6 MILLION
USD ( TEN MILLION, SIX HUNDERD THOUSAND UNITD STATE DOLLARS ) IN AN ACCOUNT
THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER ( LATE Mr.ABDUL REHMAN AFZAL, AN
AFGHANI) WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN AN AMERICAN BOMB ATTACK ON
THE CITY OF KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN IN THE YEAR 2001.
EVER SINCE WE GOT THIS INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, THE BANK HAVE BEEN
EXPECTING ANY OF HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM THIS MONEY, BUT NO
BODY HAS SHOWN UP EVEN TILL NOW. THIS IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE BANK CAN NOT
RELEASE THIS FUND UNLESS SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION
TO THIS BANK DECEASED CUSTOMER, AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDLINGS AND
LAWS BUT UNFORTUNATLY WE LEARNT THAT ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN OR
RELATION DIED ALONGSIDE WITH HIM AT THE AMERICAN BOMB ATTACK LEAVING NOBODY
BEHIND THAT MIGHT MAKE THIS CLAIM.
IT IS THEREFORE UPON THIS DISCOVERY THAT I NOW DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU
AND PRESENT YOU BEFORE THE BANK, BY MAKING THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU, SO
THAT THIS FUND CAN BE RELEASED TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION TO THIS
DECEASED CUSTOMER FOR THE SAFETY AND SUBSEQUENT DISBURSEMENT INTO YOUR OWN
BANK ACCOUNT, SINCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND WE DO NOT WANT THIS MONEY TO
GO INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
NOW, THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDLINE HERE STIPULATE THAT IF SUCH MONEY
REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER SEVEN YEARS,THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFER INTO THE
BANK'S TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND. PLEASE THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT
OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS SERIOUSLY OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE
COSTUMER WAS A FOREIGNER, AND A BURKINABE CAN NOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A
FOREIGNER HERE.
MY GOOD FRIEND, I CAN AGREE THAT 40% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS A
RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF A FORIEGN ACCOUNT, WHILE THE REMAINING 60% WOULD
BE FOR ME, THEREAFTER, I WILL BE VISITING YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE
DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGE INDICATED.
THEREFORE,TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE AND TRANSFER OF THIS SAID
FUND TO YOU AS ARRANGED, YOU MUST APPLY FRIST TO THE BANK AS RELATION OR
NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CUSTOMER WITH A TEXT OF APPLICATION FORM, THAT I
WILL PREPAR AND THEN SEND TO YOU WHEN I HEAR FROM, WHICH YOU WILL FILL AND
SEND TO BANK FOR APPROVAL TO YOU.
PLEASE, I WILL ALSO LIKE YOU TO SEND ME YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBER
AND YOUR FAX NUMBER FOR EASY AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND LOCATION
WHEREIN THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO UPON THE
RECEPIT OF YOUR REPLY, I WILL SEND YOU THE TEXT OF APPLICATION BY EMAIL TO
FILL IN YOUR BANKING INFORMATION AND APPY DIRECTLY AND OFFICIALLY TO THE
BANK FOR APPROVAL AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO YOU.
KINDLY NOTE VERY WELL THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS LEGAL,
HITCH-FREE AND 100% SUCCESFUL. YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY ATOM OF FEAR AS
ALL THE REQUIRED ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREFECTLY MADE BY ME FOR THE RELEASE
AND TRANSFER OF THIS FUND TO YOU.
THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE
THIS MAIL FOR US TO COMMENCE WITHOUT ANY DELAY.

YOURS SINCERLY,
DR.JOSSEF KHABAI.
