As you will see as this scam unfolds, unwitting people are duped into believing a crooked official working in a Nigerian Bank wants to transfer millions into their account and split the proceeds.
Of course the usual $3,900 money wire is required to process the paperwork.
In two of emails I was approached and offered 45.7 million, and told another man would contact me soon.
I was then sent a second solicitation by yet another Professor at the bank offering me a measly 12.7 million.
There are many colorful documents that go along with this scam and even a few official sounding phone calls; as you will see I've invented my own fake documents to lead them on as well. Sometime's I convince them that I have indeed sent the money and all they need is the secret question and answer to provide for Western Union.

Attn
This letter is written to you in order to change yourlife fromtoday.I am Mr.john eze the Director,International Remittance Department of this Bank,my Boss,Mr.Jacobs M.Ajekigbe the Managing Director/CEO of this Bank is now on compulsory leave and all power have been vested on me to make all international payments.
Also due to reported cases of corrupt practices in other Nigeria Banks including the Central Bank of Nigeria,the Federal Government has revoked/cancelled all power vested on those Banks and have appointed our Bank (First Bank of igeria)to make all foreign payments.
Your fund has been in thisbank for many years unclaimed because my boss Mr.Jacobs Ajekigbe have refused to tell you the truth on how to claim your fund this is because he has been using the interest accumulated from your fund every year to enrich himself without yournowledge.
I want to help you pull out this fund to your bank account using the easiest and the quickest method,which have not been made known to you before.
By this method,you will open a domiciliary account with this Bank(First Bank of Nigeria) your fund would be lodged into this disciplinary account and your fund will be paid in directly to any Bank of your choice.
After the ransfer,you will confirm the fund in your Bank account within 5hours the same day.No Cost of Transfer(COT)and no stoppage from any Government departments as the transfer will be done within the bank alone and it is very safe.
The method which was introduced to you before is the Telegraphic Transfer(TT) for which confirmation was 48hrs,because of the time factor, petitions could come from various organizations stopping your payment and asking you to pay huge fee which would be difficult for you to pay so that they can benefit from the huge interest your fund generates while still in the Bank.
This method is not safe for you because it is not done within the bank alone as information of the payment would be sent to the Central Control Unit(CCU)of the Federal Ministry of Finance and office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
As a good Christian,I have nothing to gain by keeping your fund,I want to assist you receive your fund before my boss resumes office.You have to follow up and work with me now,so keep this very confidential because of fraudsters and impostors who go about resenting various bank accounts in order to divert another beneficiary's fund.
Confirm to me through this e-mail address,your present/valid account co-ordinates and Amount to be claimed so that I do not transfer your fund to the wrong Bank Account. Awaiting your quick response.
Yours Truly, Mr.john eze

Be informed that in my capacity as a banker I have resolved to convey US$15 million dollars into your account for investment in a real estate.
If you are interested, you will be entitled to 30% share of the fund and 10% is for expenses, like payment of the staffs etc. While some parts of the 60% is for the investment in real estate and the rest will be invested in your company of which you will be one of the directors.
But for a recording purposes you have to fill your correct receiving bank account details in the attached form. This is in line with the procedures of our bank in delivering/conveying such huge sum of money/consignment outside the shore of Africa due to restricted warnings by world bank/IMF, AU against sponsoring terrorism .

I then requested he send ID
Michael,
After send you my family picture and now you ask for id.So i will not allow this transaction to bring any problem between you and me.If contributing towards the completion of this project will create a problem for you then I advice you step down so that I will look for annother person to take from where you stoped.I never support a broken home.There is one way out for me.
But One thing I am promising is that I will surely compesate you once this fund is successfully transfered into the new account we will provide with the help of the new partner I will find.
Thanks for all your efforts so far.
Yours truly, Mr Koutaba
No problem Koutaba,
I actually asked for the ID prior to your family picture, which I really have no need for in the first place nor did I request (to request an ID from someone and instead receive a family photo is pretty odd to say the least). Not real sure what "I never support a broken home" means, and how all of this family talk plays into legitimate business, but perhaps your ways are unique.
Since you have decided to conduct this transaction with another party, and are apparently incapable of providing even the most basic form of identification, I will do as you've asked and consider this matter closed. I wish you well in your endeavor and hope all goes smoothly with your new partner.
Take care my friend.
koutabajean1@yahoo.fr
I decided to send you my working ID CARD.I want you to send me your picture.It will help us to be more friendly with one another.Please fill and send the application to the Bank today itself so that I will follow it up.

Thanks for your email again and your picture, please fill the application and send it to the bank, Pls go through this agreement I have drafted. View it and make modifications where necessary. We have to seal it immediately the fund is credited into your account.

Good Day,
I want to bring to your knowledge of a very lucrative business opportunity that I have. Well I work as a fiduciary agent that disburses funds to various contract beneficiaries under the Standard Bank of Nigeria (SB); I have a pending deal that can be of great and mutual benefits to you and me i.e. if you promise to keep optimum confidentiality.
Meanwhile I do foresee the surprise this letter will bring to you as it comes from a stranger, but be assured that it comes with the best of intentions not SCAM. I got your contact from a search into the Internet and was inspired to seek your cooperation. I am aware of the risks involved in sending this letter by email, therefore I ask that you consider the factors below and keep it strictly confidential. However, if you are unable to meet my demand, kindly discard of it.
I am contacting you through this means due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds in the consignments from United Kingdom where the fund are currently kept in a vault of a private security firm.
Meanwhile the amount of the funds lodged is in excess of USD33M (Thirty Three Million United State Dollars).I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after you successfully secure the funds in your custody overseas and also map out 5% for any expenses that may arise. Also note that an agreement would be drafted in respect of this. I will invest my share into any viable business you suggest.
In your acceptance to my proposal please forward to me the following:
(1) Your mailing address (2) Your private phone and fax
I want to assure you that this business proposal is 100% risk free as i have done my homework properly. I quite believe that you will protect my interest by taking this deal strictly confidential, as i am still in government service, which i intend to retire from in full honor.
Thank you and God bless.
Regards,
Morgan Williams Dear Friend Michael Creel,
Thanks for your urgent response to my mail and your willingness to assist me in this business transaction that is going to be of great benefit for the both of us.
First and foremost I will need you to reconfirm your details in other to proceed:
[1] Full Names: [2] Contact address: [3] Direct Telephone and Fax No: [4] Date of birth: [5] What you do for a living: [6] A copy of your Identity or int’l passport as the case may be
Secondly the consignments contains the said $33million is presently deposited with a security company in London. I also want you to know that this business is 100% risk free and you have nothing to worry about.
I want you to understand that there are no risks involved anymore because all the risk in getting this package to the U.K has already been taken care of by me. All I need is someone that is capable enough to clear the package till my arrival in your country and we will invest the said funds into a good partnership investment.
To actualize this process I shall forward to you all the legal documents for the deposit and shipment of the aforementioned package that contains the $33million. Thereafter I shall look for a prudent attorney that will prepare the power of attorney and legalize the transfer of ownership to you as the bona-fide beneficiary of the package.
Consequent upon the receipt of the completed documents from the attorney, I shall write a formal letter of authorization along other documents to the courier company, instructing them to release and deliver the package to you as the trustee. As soon as the company acknowledges my application, they shall notify you on how to proceed in delivering the consignments to you in your address.
To forestall and cement our agreement on the terms of sharing, our understanding is that the entire sum of $33 million US Dollars shall be shared in the ratio of 25%/70% respectively,5% for any expenses that may arise. To ensure that this is clearly understood by both parties, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) shall be drafted by the attorney to legally bind us. This is paramount because I spent all most all the money I have work all my life to ship and deposit this consignmets with the courier company. CAN I TRUST YOU?
Importantly, be informed that we did not disclose the true content of the consignments to the courier company; what they have on their records is family valuables, so please note. While I look forward to your prompt response I want you to know that this transaction is 100% risk free and as such, will require your maximum co-operation to actualize it for our mutual benefits.
I shall send you all the documents as soon as I hear from you. Warm regards to your family.
Regard,
Morgan Williams.
Dear Mr. Michael Creel,
How are you doing today? I hope all is well with you and your family.
Your mail and the information you have provided gave me light and joy that this fund will be safe in your hands.
Like I told you in my previews email this transaction is 100%.
Check your attached file, you shall find the agreement that will bind us together for you to endorse and return to me via attachment and also my passport copy.
We need to get the change of beneficiary and the power of attorney in your name from a good lawyer that will make you the bona-fide beneficiary to the said package, after that I shall right an authorization letter to the security company instructing them to release and deliver the consignment to you in your country
Meanwhile I have gotten a prudent lawyer who has promise to help us arrange those documents in your name.
Please contact him as soon as possible for the arrangement of the change of beneficiary and the power of attorney in your name.
Please my good friend I hope that you shall not betray me at the end of this transaction as I already taken you like my own blood brother.
I will be waiting for your urgent call or response.

Sir,
We write to acknowledge the recipt of your mail dated;05 07 07, including the requested information which has also been noted accordingly,but without your bank details. Meanwhile,I am required by law to processe without delay, the fund approval documents on your name i.e. Ministry of Aviation (MAv) Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), Central Bank of NIgeria (CBN) approval fund including your contract completion certificate. In the contrary, however, these fund approval documents FOR the release of your contract fund,will be replaced at my own cost to facilitate the release of your contract fund into your nominated bank account and copies sent to you for the clearance of your fund with your bank. In view of this development as in accordance with the rules and regulatons of contract payment, you are hereby directed to send your banking details to this office for the final credit into your account as all necessary machineris have been put in place accordingly hence awaiting to receive the above mentioned information.
In addition, i have concluded all arrangements to replace the legal fund approval documents already in the payment file, so, we are required to procure through the CBN acrredited attorney, Barr. Charles Ubaka, the following documents which when registered at the supreme court of Nigeria AT MY EXPENSE will be used to substantiate or back up the transfer of the fund (45.7m) into your account. The document is SUPREME COURT SWORN AFFIDAVIT which will be deposed in your name, address and bank particulars and registered at my expense in the supreme court by the CBN attorney.
The ojective of the registered supreme court sworn affidavit is to legalise, legitimise and validate your beneficiary status, hence with the legal document,your receipt of the fund will be validated and authenticated. all you need to do on receipt of this mail is to provide for the supreme court sworn affidavit to be drafted, is your address, company or personal name, bank particulars and your tel- line and emails of yours.
After the drafting, i am required to provide by payment the sum of US$12,500.00 for the registration of the documents at the supreme court. After the registration of the documents, the legal document will be used to back up the transfer of your fund as statutorily required by the goverment monetary law policy. This payment; US$12,500.00 is mandatory to enable the CBN Accredited Attorney draft and register the supreme court sworn affidavit on your name to back up the transfer of your fund.
SINCE, the fund has already been approved in your name, you do not need to be afraid or worried other than to assist me financially no matter how little. However, i will pay the attorney who will carry out this operation US$10,000.00 by tomorrow morning for the processing and obtaining of the SUPREME COURT SWORN AFFIDAVIT on your name. As soon as the document is ready, the fund will leave into your account by SWIFT without further delay.
Be informed that this morning my name came out as the finance minister in all the national dailies so if approved by the house of senate next week, i will now become the finance minister of Nigeria and as such i will hand over this transaction to my superior the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Prof. Charles C. Soludo for conclusion while i will be in my office supervising the transfer of the fund into your account. Please i so much rely on this fund because my pocket is now empty base on the fact that i have losed much money in lobbying for the ministaria post.
Finally, you are also required to send to this office a copy of your international passport or driver's license to update our records. Waiting for your email and compliance.
Thanks,
Yours Faithfully, Prof. Shamsudeen Usman. Deputy Governor CBN.

It was nice talking to you yesterday. Please be informed that this payment will be made to your account on Monday the 27th day of August 2007 and I want you to work with me to make this happen.
Sir, I want you to know that all modalities have been put in place for a successful transfer of the funds to your account. I want you to keep all information that will be sent to you secret and confidential.
Like I rightly informed you yesterday, the payment documents will be obtained today in your favor and sent to you via email as an attachment and what I want you to do on receipt of the documents is to immediately forward the documents and the completed form to the Office of the President on foreign Payments with the details that will be sent to you alongside the documents.
Once you have the documents, complete the form sent to you yesterday and forward it to the contact details I will forward with you with the documents that will be obtained today in your favor and ask them to process your payment immediately and send the processing certificate to the Central Bank to enable them transfer your funds to your account.
Once they have received the information, they will process your payment into the Federal Government payment system and send information to us to immediately carry out the transfer to your account.
All I want you to do now is to make sure that the processing fee ($3,900) is made available so that immediately they contact you back, you will send the money to them to enable them carry out the processing and for us to carry out transfer to your account.
The transfer cannot be made to your account if processing has not been carried out. From the information gathered, the processing fee will be paid there in USA and not Nigeria because they have processing offices in every country and since you are a US citizen and your account is in USA, the payment will be processed from your country to enable Federal Reserve Bank allow funds get into your account.
This processing is important because of the volume of the transfer as payment will definitely be returned back to the Nigerian Government by the US Government if not processed. This is a way to check terrorism and Money laundering so once payment is processed, your Government will see the funds as legal and risk free.
Thanking you for helping me serve you better while I am hope to hearing from you soonest.
Yours faithfully,
Prof. Charles C. Soludo

Attn: Michael Creel.
Sir,
I am sorry I did not respond to your emails yesterday because I was out of the office early for a United Nation Conference in AbujaNigeria where I spent the rest of the day. I was so sad when I called several times and there was no response from your side. I called your office about four times and was told you were not in the office so I left with anger for the meeting.
Since I did not hear from you, I decided to send my secretary to the Presidency with the Original documents of your approvals because I sensed that you may not have sent it to them. I quickly got our office lawyer to write an application on your behalf for the processing so my secretary took all the documents and the application to the Presidency for processing.
Did you later contact them with the documents? If no, do not worry, they will be contacting you today because all your details were sent to them to contact you immediately to enable them process the documents because I really want the transfer to go through to your account by Monday.
I am doing this because have to be in US on Friday 31st August 2007 and want the funds transferred out to you before I leave.
The $3,900 is to be sent to the receiving office in USA through MONEY GRAM to their receiving name there in USA.
Maybe the Presidency will give you details of payment today when they contact you. I want you to make sure that you send the money to them through MONEY GRAM today once they have given you the details so that they can process the payment today to enable our bank make wire to your account on Monday.
Now you have seen the reason why we have to constantly be in touch as this is for our own good.
I hope to hearing from you soon.

My Brother Michael.
Thanks for your email. Note that we do not use US cashier checks here. Do not misunderstand me when I ask to speak with you because I want to at least hear your voice.
The money can be forwarded by Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to my secretary's name below,
NAME:JERRYIKEH
ADDRESS: 142 ASO KORO BUSINESS DISTRICT, ABUJANIGERIA
He will have to go now and pay on your behalf at the Presidency. I do not have the bank account where funds will be transferred to yet.
If you mail the money, there is every possibilty of it getting lost on transit and the time frame of 4 days before delivery and there is no such time.
The fastest, easiest and surest way is either by Western Union or Money Gram.
Email me back now after sending the $3,900.

As I mentioned, I've lost my cell phone and have had to order a replacement as they did not have the type I use in stock. I do not have a home phone and the office is closed on weekends. I don't really understand the urgency or necessity of speaking on the phone frequently just to move this matter along.
Also, since it is my money I'm sending you on the promise of receiving money at a later date in return, I will decide how the money is sent to you. I have already purchased the money order and whether I wire money or mail money, it's still money.
The fact that you want me to wire money to a person in the US for a transaction in Nigeria sounds a bit suspect to me anyway. If you can't provide me an address to send the check to, then perhaps we should just forget about this altogether.
It's up to you.
Michael,
I am still waiting to hear from you.
Soludo Michael Creel escribió:
I'm a very busy man these days and your need for "constant contact" is annoying at the least. This is a simple business transaction, not a buddy buddy situation. When we did speak I didn't see that we spoke of anything of any importance anyway. Certainly nothing that couldn't be said in an email. I like to keep things simple and clean, and I'm not looking to sit on the phone chatting mindlessly about a lot of nothing or merely answering the same questions over and over. As you've said previously, your coming here to collect half of the funds, which is obviously a lot of money.
Now it's odd enough that a man of your stature and position would even let a mere $3,900 hold up receiving over 6 million dollars. but now to tell me that you would also prefer to not receive the 6 million rather than have the $3,900 mailed to your associates. I'm not using Money Gram, I have already paid for the money order, so if you would please stop wasting time and simply give me a freakin address to mail it to we can move this along.

I Then Sent This Fake Reciept From Western Union
Sir,
Thanks for your email. The money you sent is not available for pick up. Can you call the local western union office where the money was sent from and tell them to make the funds available for pick up.
Know that I want this completed and you requested to send the money to Nigeria. I sensed it is better so that my secretary can pay in person at their office on your behalf.
Call Western Union and ask them to make the fund available also send me the Text Question and Answer of the transfer.
Charles Soludo
I'll need you to provide the photo ID I requested previously prior to giving you the question and answer. Also, why didn't you respond to me after I emailed the receipt to you? You only wrote back after you had a problem. I done my part as promised.
Michael W. Creel
Michael,
Do not joke with m. I have a lot of things to do with my time and a lot of people will definitely want to work with me especially now that the payment has been approved. It does not matter if it is in your name, all I will need is a Power of Attorney from you and I can look for someone else and if you feel you can’t send it, I will man over it and have the receiving account changed.
Stop this now because I am no longer finding it funny. If you don’t want the funds transferred on Monday, just let me know and I will quickly look for someone else.
I need to invest the funds when I get to USA. I have a house to buy in Florida so that’s why I need this done now.
Charles Soludo
Michael,
I don’t know what you want from me. I responded to your mail when I saw it. I have other things doing so I cant wait on the internet all day waiting for your email.
I can only send you my ID on Monday because I do not have a fax or scanner at home.
If you don’t trust me, then we can forget this transfer and I can still look for someone else to stand as your beneficiary. With all these, I am afraid I may not even see you when I arrive your country after you have received the funds.
Why would you doubt me?
Charles Soludo
I'm unsure what you mean by "joke with me", did I say something funny? I've asked you to perform two very simple basic task's.
1.What location are you picking the money up at so that we may contact them to insure the funds are released, and released to the correct person.
2. I requested a copy of some form of ID from you prior to giving you the secret Question and Answer.
You've asked me why would I not trust you. Thats simple, I don't know you. If you show me an ID I feel like I know you (understand). Considering it's now 2:00am on a Sunday morning I really don't see what business you can possibly conduct with government or banking officials to move this along.
Therefore, waiting until your Monday will be just fine. Bear in mind, your Monday is our Sunday and the bank is closed thus you can't wire the money anyway. Also, it's 6:00 pm here now and the Western Union is closed so I can't do anything for you until it opens. I actually forgot the secret question and answer so I will need to go ask them what it is.
You have the reciept, so you know the money is there. It's the middle of the night on a Sunday so there's nothing you could do with the money now anyway.
Therefore, give the threats a rest. I handle transactions of over 200 million US dollars all the time, thus if you feel I will jump through hoops and be your bitch simply because your waiving 6 million in front of me your mistaken. If you don't wish to proceed, if you feel asking to see an ID is unreasonable, then I can simply retrieve the cash from WU on our Monday morning and we can go our seperate ways. Keep in mind, you came to me, not vice versa.
Or, you can learn a few manners and stop acting the big shot and we can move this transaction forward. Let me know what your decision is.
Michael W. Creel
The money will be picked up in Abuja and I will send my Id only on Monday morning when I get to the office.
Have to go to bed now. You can mail me back if you want.
Goodnight.

Recieved the next day:
Attn: Michael.
Attached here is my passport. I am not happy with you because the transfer was supposed to be made today. All the same, I will try my best to make sure that the processing is made today and authorization issued for your transfer to be made but I will need your ID too to know who I am dealing with.
If we receive the payment early today, then the transfer will definitely be made early tomorrow morning my time to enable you get the confirmation as soon as you wake up on Tuesday 28th August 2007.
Get back to me now.
Prof. Charles Soludo
Not Even a Good Fake
Hello Michael,
Thanks for your email and information. Please note that I have gotten someone already whom I am about submitting his information for the transfer.
I am not ready to play with you. I know you did not send any money and don’t even need you to send it again as I have someone who has indicated his interest in financing the transfer.
I need a letter of Authorization which authorizes me to change your name and pun in another name for the transfer.
Well now Professor that breaks my heart. I really thought we had developed a tight friendship here. I do want to thank you for amusing me and my readers at:
We always enjoy the entertainment value of the Yahoo Boys of Nigeria.
Of all the scammers I've run in circles, your certainly one of the dumbest. Your cheesy documents and passport are the worst I've seen.
Your story line is absurd; you don't even pay attention to time zones while telling people you’re at your office trying to get docs to a bank when its 2 am on a Sunday is pretty lame.
There very well may be people stupid enough to fall for your lies, but I'm not one. I've collected at least $100,000 in fake money orders, cashiers checks, and oh yes, the lovely Visa Travelers Checks. Now I've added you and your fake docs to my site for the world to see.
Oh, also, I’ll pass on the Power of Attorney deal also; enjoy your 12 million imaginary dollars.
I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of Africa, Ouagadougou . I decided to contact you after a careful thought that you may be capable of handling this business transaction which i explained below;
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5m US dollars (Ten million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 2003in a plane crash.
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 but unfortunately we learnt that his
supposed next of kin (his son and wife) died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim .
It is therefore upon this discovery that I have now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin (I want to present you as his busines asociate )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 guideline here stipulates that if such money remained Unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner .
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me andI will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account as arranged,you must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the deceased customer. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. I expect that you contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,

I see this as an opportunityfor me to be great and I want youalso to be honest with me after the fund has been transferred to your account.
I need you to send to me quickly the account informations (banking coordinates) where you will like the fund be transferred to so that I will use the informations to fill an application which will be submitted to the bank secretly on your behalf by me.

You are also to send your telephone /fax numbers to me so that Iwill equally use them in filling the application because I dont know yet which medium the bank will use in contacting you after submitting the application.
You need to expedite actions because we about conducting our second quater revision of files in my bank and if there is no claim for this fund, other people may discover the fund during our next audit. I want you also to call me once you receive this message for more acquaintances in case there is any thing you never understood so far.

2. What do you do for a living?
3. Are you ready to assist me honestly in this transaction?
4. Are there things you want to ask me?
5. I need you to tell me whether you are capable of receiving this amount or not when transferred.
For me, I am a married man with two kids and has worked in this same bank for over thirteen years. Give me the above needed informations to enable us get started. I am expecting you to call me for more clarifications.
Thanks for the mail; sorry for the late response due connection problem that affected the whole country since two days now, here I have attached my working ID together with my international passport which will enable you have proper understanding me and I will appreciate if you could call me on my private line so that we can have a bit phone discussion.

Re: more details
So glad to hear from you my friend. I hadn't heard from you in so long, I began dealing with an associate of yours that contacted me. I assume you gave him my information.
Here is the letter I received from him:
Bill and exchange manager, Bank of Africa(BOA) Phone+226-78049732
Dear Friend,
With Due Respect,I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of african development bank (BOA).I crave your indulgence as i contact you in such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you read this letter carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable financial rewards for both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of Eleven Million,Three Hundred Thousand US dollars (US$11.3m) only , in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plan crash. 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 but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at the plan crash leaving nobody behind to come for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the money could be released to you as the next of kin for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as "unclaimed fund". The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name,your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply,I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
I need a capable and able person who will handle and manage this funds because it is not a small amount of project.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately through my private email address (da000k@yahoo.fr)
