Dear Friend,

I am the bill and exchange manager at the foreign remittance department in bank of African(B.O A) I got your email address while searching for trustworthy countries and individuals.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of ($15.000.000 FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on Monday, 31 July, 2000 in accidental 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 cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated acted in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his suppose 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 and 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 I 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 un clamed after Eleven 11 years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasure 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 as nest of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 55% would be for me and we will withdraw out 5% after transfer into your account to settled all the expenses we will incure during the dealings and claiming of the fund.

Immediately the fund is transfer to your account I and my family will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated is that understood.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the decease indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply with those following information of yours, I will send to you by 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 trusting to hear from you soonest possible.

Dear Friend,

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained Unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred 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 Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

All 3 are scams.

Unfortunately, one of the other unwelcome side effects of being scammed is that you will see an increase in scams directed at you.

Once you have given any money to a scammer, you are seen as a desirable target. The scammer will try to find other ways to steal more. Often the person who scammed you will try a recovery scam, in which they pretend to be law enforcement or someone who can get your money back and/or your scammer arrested. in addition, he may share your information with or sell it to other scammers. If you were originally targeted by a romance scam, the scammer will take the information he has learned about you, and try to use it to create a new romantic interest that he knows will appeal to you. You will have to be much more alert and suspicious of future approaches, whether they are offers for money or love.
