FROM THE DESK OF MR SALIF
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
MY PRIVATE E-MAIL salif_ali8@yahoo.com
Dear Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction.This is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP SECRET. However
after series of petition was recieved by this present regime from foreign
contractors and inability of the BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)to fulfill their
obligation for the payment to its foreign creditors, in conjunction
with the council of ministers, they mandated us to carry out a careful
and comprehensive review of all overdue payments to foreign contractors
and to effect payments immediately.
During the above mentioned process, we discovered an abandoned
sum of US$10.M (Ten million US dollars) in an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire famil in
a plane crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa.
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 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 learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside
with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about
the Plane Crash:
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department 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.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner,
in respect to the provision of a foreign account,and 50% would be for
me, while 10% will be for expenses incure during the transaction. 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 the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text
of the application to fill and send to the bank. I will not fail to
bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free risk and this
transaction will only take us 14 banking days because as a banker, I
know what to do and move the fund into your account without any delay
and thatyou should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangement
have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me as soon as you receive this letter so that I
will send you the text of the application to apply to the bank and the
data information of the deceased customer and you should contact me
through this my private e-mail address:
salif_ali8@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully.
MR SALIF ALI
Bill & Exchange Manager,

5 minutes later I received an identical email, but this time the sender
is "MRS fatu adi" with email fatuadi10@tsamail.co.za.
Most of these letters are sent from Nigeria, but more and more come
from other west african countries. These were sent from Burkino Faso.
The story about the Kenya aircrash was also used in the Micheal
Mensah story.
I write to Salif that I am interested.

Subject: Explanations on how to carry out this project.call me.
Dear Miss Young,
Because of the confidentiality and secrecy required in this business,
corresspond with me only with this present email and contact me on phone
only on this very private phone number; 00226 76 62 19 57. i arranged
this line for this deal.
I have found it necessary even before your demand to give you indept
explanation on this deal and to give you details and breakdown of the
modality which we have to follow to achieve this highly beneficial success.
i am a banker and an insider. i know the process to be taken officially
in the bank to investigate and verify your claim to grant you approval.
I know and i am optimistic that this business deal will uplift our
financial status,its just for you to follow my instruction and guidelines
until the fund will enter your account.i need your absolute coperation
in this great project.
The legal aspect of this transaction will be handled by a lawyer who
will represent you at the bank as your resident attorney. the need for
a lawyer to represent you will be explained to you later in this brief.
This business is a great deal and will need determination and great
arrangement to succeed. The arrangement which has already been made
is my underground responsibility in the bank in seeing that the whole
process to be taken to achieve your approval and for the smooth transfer
of your inherittance to your desired account is made without any conceivable
hitch.
I assure you therefore that all loopholes are covered and all obstacles
removed. this business deal will never endanger any on both sides.it
is 100% free from any risk what so ever.
To remind you,this transaction is not a child's play nor a little amount
involved.We are talking of a deal of TEN MILLION DOLLARS,and so i will
not like anybody to spoil it for me because it had taken me years to
arrive at the stage of looking for a foreigner to assist me.
TRUST AND CONFIDENCE.
I need to emphasise on the need for trust and confidence on both side
as the pillar for the success of this business. you need to reassure
me that you will not betray me and sit on this fund when it finally
comes into your custody.Forward to me the followings:
1.Home and office address.
2.personal/private mobile phone number.
Before i finally decided to seize this opportunity to transfer the
fund in his account using a foreigner as his next of kin, i have searched
for one year far and near to find any of his relations to no avail.
i made several enquiries to his country's embassy to locate any of his
extended relative. this also proved unsuccessful. Hence,after these
several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family I decided
to contact some one abroad or overseas to trust and transfer this fund
to his account for our sharing and benefit. hence i contacted you.
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS.
This deal will be covered with legal approvals from the bank and the
ministry of justice. you will be approved officially by bank as the
authentic relation(cousin) of the late customer through official bank
process. your approval will futher be athenticated by legal back up
documents to be procured by your attorney from the ministry of justice
and related organs of the ministry like the probate registry where the
probate certificate will be obtained.
Bank will give you clearance certificate which you will tender to your
receiving bank. this certificate will prevent any further inquiry as
to the origin of your inherittance as it will be properly and clearly
spelt out and stated there. it will not be therefore be suspected to
be drug money or fund to sponsor terrorism.
YOUR ATTORNEY'S DUTY AND RESPONSSIBILITY.
here i give you clear explanation on what the lawyer who will represent
you will stand to do for you
1.BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HERE TO FOLLOW UP THE PROCESS OF YOUR APPROVAL
AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE LATE CUSTOMER, YOU WILL ENGAGE THE SERVICES
OF A RESIDENT LAWYER TO REPRESENT YOU AT THE BANK AS YOUR ATTORNEY.
HE WILL FOLLOW UP YOUR APPLICATION AND PURSUE THE PROCESS OF APPROVAL
UNTIL YOU ARE COMFIRMED AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CUSTOMER
AND APPROVAL GRANTED TO YOU TO INHERIT THE FUND IN HIS ACCOUNT.
2. HE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS FROM
THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE AND OTHER RELATED MINISTERIAL ORGANS LIKE THE
PROBATE REGISTRY WHICH WILL BE NECESSARILY REQUIRED TO BACK UP YOUR
CLAIM AS THE AUTHENTIC NEXT OF KIN TO THE LATE CUSTOMER. THE WHOLE PROCESS
OF THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE COMPLETELY LEGAL.
3. THE LAWYER(YOUR ATTORNEY) WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIGNING OF
THE FINAL PAYMENT RELEASE ORDER CERTIFICATE IN YOUR BEHALF FOR THE FUND
TO BE TRANSFERED TO YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER APPROVAL HAS BEEN GRANTED.
THE SERVICE OF THE LAWYER TO YOU IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE NATURALLY
YOU ARE SURPOSED TO BE PRESENT AT THE BANK FROM TIME TO TIME. SO THE
LAWYER WILL ALWAYS STAND IN FOR YOU.BUT KNOW THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE PREVILAGED
TO BE HERE FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS,IT WILL NOT BE WHOTWHILE SINCE YOU
CANNOT DEFEND THE PROBINGS OF THE BANK FACE TO FACE AS YOU ARE ACTUALLY
NOT THE REAL NEXT OF KIN AND DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LATE CUSTOMER.
HOWEVER, ALL INFORMATIONS THAT THE BANK WILL BE REQUIRED FROM YOU ON
THE LATE CUSTOMER WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOU BY ME.
YOU WILL OF COURSE NOT BE IN A HURRY TO GIVE BANK ANY INFORMATION WHEN
YOU ARE CONTACTED WITHOUT RECEIVING ADVICE FROM ME.THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
BE REST ASSURED THAT THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION IS ALREADY A FOREGONE
CONCLUSIONS AS ALL ARRANGEMENT FOR THE SMOOTH TRANSFER TO YOUR ACCOUNT
HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED.
THE TRANSFER.
The transfer of the fund(your inherittance) will begin with the signing
of the 'FINAL PAYMENT RELEASE ORDER' by your attorney. the transfer
charges which the foreign remittance department will determine commensurate
to the amount to be transfered will be paid before transfer as is normal
practice with banks all over the world.
TRIP TO YOUR COUNTRY AND SHARING.
Immediately the transfer is made, i will submit my letter of resignation
from bank prior to my trip to your country to meet you. you will be
responssible for my visa agrrangement. i will expect to stay at least
six months in first instance to be able to arrange myself and my share.
there will be banking in your country banks and investments in business
ventures before thinking of returning to my country. if i find your
country very conducive i will go for citizenship after reasonable period.
Most of my investments will be understandably under your supervision.
TAKING OFF.
The understanding of this details and accepting to work with me in
this deal is the starting point. i require you therefore to declare
your decision immediately. i have a time frame to conclude the transfer
of this fund to your account. i have 14 bank days to effect this, immediately
your application is received by bank.
Let me hear from you before i will send to you the application format
which you will fill and send to the bank and also the lawyer's contact.
with great wishes,
MR.Salif Ali.

was used to create the account in our bank but he and Andreas schranner
are into partnership account.
i was in a haste while giving you the application because it was time

I still don't like the $8,500 fee to get the lawyer to answer the questions
in the questionnaire. So I fill it out myself, and send it to the bank.
Dear Jonas, I have scanned the questionnaire again, and attached
it. I hope you can read it this time. Regards, ...

I ask Yahoo to close his new account and send this to Salif:
Dear Salif,
Don't worry. The bank just approved the payment of the funds. I am waiting
for them to transfer them to my account.
I don't understand you asking me for what is going on. I have noticed
that your email was sent from the banks PC, so you must be informed
already. Why do you send your email from the bank? Regards, ...

Dear miss young,
i knew that the bank has approved the fund but why i am asking you is
because of your silence to me.i mean,you have not sent any mail to me
for quite some time.
Don't you know that i am the bank,the bank uses only one internet IP
address.so the line is one,but connected to different computers and
offices.
let me hear from you as soon as you get any mail.
regards,
salif

After Yahoo closed Salifs account the 2nd time, I never
heard from him again. |

Much later, december 12th, 2005, I receive
an email from A.N.:
hi, i received e-mails from Bank Giro Loterij saying i've won
in their international program, of course i'm not stupid enough
to believe in this trick, i search the net and found your site...thanks
for the information.
also, in the last few months, i received e-mail from African
Development bank, Burkina Faso, saying that they found one of
their international customer left an account amounting to 10million
USD who died in a plane crash. and he is asking me if i can help
him to release this fund...You know, i found it in your site....it's
the same story the same people you've talked to, but they differ
in their names and e-mail address. you talked to SALIF ALI, to
me he is AHMED IBRAHIM. he was asking me to send money too,amounting
7,650 USD for the processing fee. i thought he's ok, because we
chat many times giving me directions and even we interact personally,
and he's using the name of Allah. he has many strategies in dealing
with other people as i read in your site. i attched here the forms
he send to me, and if i have time i can send you his e-mails because
i didn't deleted it in my inbox. of course, i'm not stupid to
send him money for i am not sure. he thought he can trick me.
thanks again! you did a very nice thing, to publish these kind
of thing.
