JAMES COMPORE: I decided to make this business proposal to you

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following emails from a friend. Let me call him Jamal. They are socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letters, where you am promised millions for your assistance. These stories are all lies, and if you respond, sooner or later you will be asked to pay a fee. If you pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until you give up or run out of money. You will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Jamal sent me this:

on may 23 1007 i got first mail from a person named james compore in which a account was mentioned whose owned died in a plane crash and had left 22.5millionUS$ in it he agreed to give me 40% and 55% for him and 5% for transactional charges i replied that i m interested but how can he trust me and why he want me as his partner then he replied that he got my id from net and he found me honest and as the real owner was a foreigner that why he require a foreigner as a claimer then on 27 may 2007 he sent me an application form n asked me to fill it and send it to bank of africa and gave me e mail id of bank. as a result i got an acknowledgment letter from that bank and an official questionnaire to test me then i forwarded that questionnaire to james compore and got answers of that questionnaire. and i sent that questionnaire to an attorney mentioned by bank. and was instructed to pay 5800$ as fee. james told me that he arranged 4000$ and wants me to pay 1800$ by western union money transfer to a lady who was joint secretary of attorney. when i said that i m ourt of money he replied that he had sent one of hie sister to pay 4000$ on my name to the attorney. as a result i got an acknowledgment letter from attorny of 4000$ bt they asked me to pay full fee when i replied that i'll pay remaining fee after transfer of money they replied that its fee of ministry and they require it. when i told james about this he asked me to get money from family but i refused and asked that i can just give u a partner and nothing els then he replied me that he is going to find some other partner who can help him financially too i replied ok its your wish

FROM THE DESK OF DR .JAMES COMPORE

BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICA.
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.

TOP SECRET
Dear Friend

I am DR. JAMES COMPORE. 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 JOHN KOROVO from JORDAN , who was involved in the December 25th 2003 Benin plane crash.

Here is the air crash website on cn
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html

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 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 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 such money 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% risk free 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 private phone number( +226-76172071. or email address at() I am looking forward for your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,
DR. JAMES COMPORE.
