Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

FROM THE DESK OF GARUBA USMAN,
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPT,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.WEST AFRICA.

With Due Respect,

I am  of the bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of
african development bank (ADB).
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 financialrewards for both of us.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of Ten Million,Five Hundred
Thousand USdollars (US$10.5m) only , in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2001
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 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 or relation to the deceased 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
percentages 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. You should contact me
immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Yours faithfully,
Garuba Usman,
Bill and exchange manager,
African Development bank ADB
