FROM THE DESK OF DR  DURU.DANGOTE

AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,

BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)

OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.

 

Dear Friend,

 

I am the manager of Auditing and Accounting  department of BANK OF AFRICA 

(B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.In my department we discovered an 

abandoned sum of US$20.5m dollars (TWENTY MILION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US 

DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. 

ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire 

family in Jully 2000 in a plane crash.For more information about the crash 

you can visit this site:(

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 

some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as 

indicated in our banking guidlings 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 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 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 fours 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 occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a 

Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision 

of a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during 

the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country 

for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable 

the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you must apply first to 

the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of 

application form that i will send to you when i hear from you,so i will like 

you to send to me your private telephone and fax number for easy and 

effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.

 

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 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.

 

Trusting to hear from you immediately.

 

Yours Faithfully,

DR DURU .DANGOTE
