Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE

MR RAYMOND SALIM

AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,

BANK OF AFRICA.(BOA)

OUAGADOUGOU -BURKINA FASO,

Dear Friend,

It's just my urgent need for foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction, I choose to reach you through this means because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is private. I got your contact from the chambers of commerce here in my country ouagadougou,burkina faso.

I am incharge of the auditing unit of bank of africa Burkina faso in west Africa . I have the opportunity of transfering abandoned fund ($25 million) of late Sir Ratnavale Victor, dual citizen of Switzerland and Britain  whom died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK alongside his only daughter while they were travelling from New York to Geneva living nobody as the next of kin to the fund.I discovered the fund during the bank auditing and the fund has remained dormant in his account .

My request to you to stand as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner .As the bank law stipulates,a burkina faso citizen is not eligible to stand as next of kin to a foreigner.It is upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you so that the money would be released into your bank account as the next of kin for safety and subsequent disbursement,it's an abandoned fund. Our Banking law further stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund and i don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury .Please see site below for more information.

I have invited you to a business deal where the fund will be shared between us in the ratio of 60/40 .You will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me.

If you capable to handle this transaction/claim independently on my behalf in the bank,i require you to furnish me with your personal informations such as your full name,your telephone number,your occupation,your full home address, and your  identity card.Immediately i receives those datas,i will draft an application of claim to you which you will fill and send to the bank to commence the claim ,I'm looking forward to hearing from you. 

Your Faithfully            

Mr .Raymond Salim 

NB, ENSURE YOU KEEP THIS TRANSACTION AS TOP SECRECT AND MAKE IT CONFIDENTIAL TILL WE RECEIVES THE FUND INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
