FROM THE DESK OF MRS.MARIAM USMAN
MANAGER AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO
WEST AFRICA.

COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY.

I know that this message will come to you as a surprise, Please do notassume this to be another internet joke, I am MRS. MARIAM USMAN the managerof auditing and accounting department of BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) herein Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I hoped that you will not expose orbetray this trust that I am about to impose on you for mutual benefitof our families.

After the annual auditing of the year 2008/2nd quarter of 2009,I discovered an abandoned/stagnant sum of $10m dollars (Ten Million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer(MR. RICHARD BURSON from Florida, U.S.A) who died along with his entire family on November 1999 in a plane crash. For more information's about the crash you can visit this site:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/502503.stm

Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learn 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 now decided to make this business proposal to you, so that the money can be release to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody will come for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed dormant fund.

The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after ten years the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed dormant 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 like me can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as a 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.Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund into your account, you must first apply to the bank as relation or next of kin to the deceased customer with a text of application that I will send to you, but before I send to you the text of application form,I will like you to send me the following information's:

1.NAMEIN FULL:........................

4.AGE:................................
5.SEX.....................................
6.OCCUPATION:................................

I will not fail to bring to your noticethat this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertainany atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for thetransfer.
