FROM THE DESK OF.. DR AMIRI BABO
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA(B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO



Dear Friend,

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
BANK
OF AFRICA .

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$25M US dollars
(Twenty five Million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2002 in a
plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next if
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 guidlines and laws but unfortunately we 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 money will be released 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 guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I propose that 30% of this money will be for you as my foreign partner,
in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60% would be for me. Thereafter 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 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 e-mail a text of the
application which you'll fill in and send to the bank's email address..
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.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter for
further clearifications.

Yours faithfully,
. DR AMIRI BABO
