Subject: HAPPY NEW YEAR MY DEAR
Dear Friend,

I am Mr.Menini Mustapha, the manager of bill and exchange foreign remittance department of African Development Bank (A.D.B) Bank, In my department there was abandoned sum of (EURO 15.5m Euros)(Fifteen Million, five hundred thousand Euros) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer, who died along with his entire family on Friday, December 10th, 2010 in plane crash with Airbus A320 Plane.

Since we got information about his death, the bank has 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 decease as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you so that the ban can release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the decease for safety and subsequent disburse it between us 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 stipulate that if such money remained unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of 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. I agree that 40% 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 50% will be for me.

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 to the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account, 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 email the letter of application.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

I am looking forward to receive your urgent and positive reply to my private e-mail address (u19a72@gmail.com).

Yours faithfully
Mr. Menini Mustapha.
