Dear friend.

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 apologize for taking some of your valuable time to explain a proposal that I believe will be of utmost benefit to us.

I am manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Bank of Africa. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $11,300,000.00 USD( Eleven Million Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plane crash on monday 31/07/2000 in paris.

Since the bank got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release the fund unless somebody 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 died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim and our banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed after five years,such money will be moved into the banking treasurer as unclaimed fund.

The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin. 25% of the total money will be for you as a foreign partner while 5% will be set asite to cover any expenses that might be incured during the process of transfering the fund to your nominated bank account.

If you're willing to handle this deal with me kind get back to me with your Private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication/your personal picture to enable me know whom i'm dealling with.I will send to you the application form which you wil apply directly to the bank.

Note:I demand the hightest trust from you to keep this business strictlyconfidential for security reasons as you may know that the bank don't know that i am the one who contacted you to stand for this claim.

Best regards,
Mr ALI ADAMA.

dear Mikhail,

greetings from my side and i hope you are doing great.

thanks alot for your prompt response towards my proposal and i am fully committed to comsumate this deal wth you knowing fully well that you will not betray the trust i bestow in you when the fund finally hits your acount.

however,we've waited for a long time for the next of kin to the deceaed customer to come up for the claim but to no avail and now that the fund is about to be transfered into the bank's treasury as an unclaimed bill that is why i need you to put claim over it so that it will be transfered into your account as the beneficiary for the mutual benefit of you and myself.

i have made proper arrangement to make sure we have a hitch free transaction but you need to mentain absolute secrecy of this transaction until the fund hits your account.make sure you do contact me for advise whenever you receive any information from the bank so that i will direct you on what to do.

complete the below text of application with your banking informations and send it to the bank for the claim of the fund.

In a nutshel, this deal is 100% legal, risk free and safe.

Thanks for your last mail, also for your effort towards this transaction, I pray that almighty Allah will help us through. I don't know why you can not get me online while my phone is ready waiting for your call. You have to try again as you may understand that here is africa, sometime our network is Bad. Stiill try the number: +226-7647-1708.

Only try to cheak your mail box atlist two time daliy, so that i will be giving you any information i get from the bank ok. I am very happy that you have sent the application to the bank. Please what we have to do now is to pray for the bank to answer us.

Please ready this careful

Please always remember to keep this transaction as a top secret and you should not reply to any mail received from the bank until I guide you on what to do as to avoid any mistakes.

Also don't reply any business proposal from here or outside this country. When you receive any emails similar to my first message to you, please don't reply to it because sometimes it may come from this Banks monitoring unit.

They may try you by sending a proposal as to know whether it is somebody from here proposed the business to you. if you reply to any mail like that means we will loose the fund. just get in touch with me before replying any mail, so that I will guide you on what to do.

Even sometimes they may send you thesame proposal with differed names and differed amount to see whether you will reply to them so they will know that you are not the next of kin to the deceased customer. and this will make us to lose the fund.

This is for the fact that this fund has been dormant for years without any person coming for it. I hoped that you will not betray me when this fund enters your account. I put all my hope and trust in you, and since this transaction is between us i take you as my own bloodily brother.

Best regards and hoping to see you after this deal.

Dear Mikhail,

Thanks for your last mail. Why can't you be honest with me so that we shall claim the fund. Please send the file to me so that i will go through it and tell you what to do next.

I told you this for the first time that you should send me any letter from the bank so that i will guide you on what to do.

Aslo i told you that any letter from bank before repling any mail you have to get me informed first. To tell you the fact i dont understand what you mean by this. The bank sent you letter and you don't care to let me know.

Do you know much about the deceased customer?. Please stop all this and be honest with me so that everything will go very easy for us. Please send me all whatever you get from the bank. As i told you for the first time that i don't want to loose the fund. Because any mistake made in this transaction will make us to lose the fund.

Best regards

Ali Adama
