I NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE AND UNDERSTANDING IN THIS PROJECT.NOT A SURPRISED MAIL.

WITH DUE RESPECT,

I AM THE MANAGER OF 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
FINANCIAL REWARDS FOR BOTH OF US. IN MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF TEN
MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS (US$10.5M) ONLY , IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN
CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY 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 TO
COME 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 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 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 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. I NEED A CAPABLE AND ABLE PERSON WHO WILL HANDLE AND MANAGE THIS FUNDS BECAUSE IT
IS NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF PROJECT.

YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER.
TRUSTING TO HEAR FROM YOU IMMEDIATELY.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,
IBRAHIM SHOROWA,
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ADB
