FROM THE DESK OF MR TAREK OMAR
OF AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ANNEX
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.

DEAR FRIEND

ASSALA MUALEKUM

I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise.I got your address through a local Business directory on the web.I must apologise for taking some of your valuable time to explain a proposal that I believe will be of utmost benefit to us. I need your help and urgent assistance.I am the Bill and Exchange Manager of African Development Bank,Ouagadouguo Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (11.300.000)ELEVEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS, in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his surposed next of kin in 1999 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 can not release it unless somebody applies for it as the 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 alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.It is therefore upon this discovery that we decided to make this business proposals to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it because we don't want the money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.The Banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed after 5 years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request for a foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner. we have agreed that 25% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner in respect of the provision of a foreign account.5% will be set aside for any mislenious expenses incurred during the business and 70% would be for me and my partner, after which we shall visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account as we have arranged,you will furnished me with your Bank account detail where the money will be transfered into from AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK to your account,your private tel and fax number for easy communication.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail a text of the application which you shall retype and fax to our Foreign Remittance Department,for easy execution of the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch-free on both side and has no atom of negativity,for we have made all required arrangement for the transfer of this fund to your account.Please we would like you to keep this transaction very confidential and as a top secret as you may wish to know that we are Bank officials.Trusting to hear from you immediately,

MR TAREK OMAR
