Dear Friend,

I am a senior staff of bill and exchange unit at FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.SOCIETE GENERALE DES BANQUES AU BURKINA(SGBB)

I am writing to you, following the impressive information received about you from the chambers or commerce. I believed that you are capable and reliable to champion this business opportunity.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of U.S $12.5m US dollars in an account that belonged to one of In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on 25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590 with the whole passengers aboard.
The name oF the deceased man was (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER), from Munich,Germany.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 releaseit unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane 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 bank can 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.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after six years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand in as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 % will be set aside for tax and expenses to be 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 a relation or next of kin of the deceased customer but that will be when you have shown interest to assist me in this transaction then i will forward to you the text of application with the bank address where the application will be sent to by you as the next of kin to Mr Andreas Schranner.

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 100% hitch and risk free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Your's faithfully,

Mr Maliki Abudoulah

Dear Friend,

I am Mr Peter U.Williams, a banker with the above mentioned bank in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso in West Africa, holding the post of the Audit & Accounts dept,. On Monday, 31 July, 2000, one Andreas Schranner, a German National, An Astute Businessman of international repute, a contract with Ecowas country, whose endeavours spans various areas of Business interest, (Real estate, contract, Farming and Oil Business Driller .etc) made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £850,000.00 (Eight Hundred FiftyThousand Euro) for twelve calendar months in my Bank Branch.

Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his company that Mr. Andreas Schranner was aboard the AF4590 plane with his family, which crashed Monday, 31 July 2000 into the Hotelissimo.

After further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace hisnext of kin proved fruitless.

On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Mr. Andreas Schranner did not declare any next of kin or relatives in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here in our Bank. The total sum of (£850,000.00) is still in my bank. All efforts to trace and locate his next of kin proved abortive.

In accordance with the country’s banking laws and constitution guiding this banking institution stated that after the expiration of (7)Seven years, if no body or person comes for the claim as the next of kin , such money will be revert to the Burkina Faso government treasury if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim of the fund. Consequently, It is upon this respect, I seek to present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranner since no one will come up for the claim.My contacting youis for the fact the fund can not be transfer to a Burkinabe hence the depositor was a foreigner.

Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you by mail the Bank (BPA) "Next of Kin Beneficiary Payment Application Text Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal would be carried out.

The money will be shared in the ratio: Sixty percent for me,and Fourth percent for you.I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, as I will use my position in the Bank's here to perfect this business transaction and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.

FROM MR.LUIS MOGAN,THE MANAGER FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPARTMENT,
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB) BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,

(TOP SECRET)

I am MR.LUIS MOGAN,the manager in charge of auditing and accounting section of Africa Development Bank. (ADB) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West Africa, with due respects and
regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be
very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a
deceased person Mr.Andreas Schranner who died with his wife and their only
daughter on 31 July 2000 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

The said amount was U.S $10.150M ((Ten million one hundred and fifty thousand
US dollars)).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive
information through international search in Burkina-Faso here in Ouagadougou
Burkina-Faso. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and the needed information will be relayed to you as soon as
you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also
benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also
present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 35% of the total sum as gratification, while 55% will be for me as the founder of the deal, while 10% will be for expenses.

Please, you have been advised to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.

All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
Trusting to hear from you. you can contact me
through this number(00226 78 80 16 64). And i will advice you to reply back on my private email address [email protected] )
