I got this in the email today:
FROM: Mrs GLORY JOHNSON
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT. AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB) OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO. Dear Friend, (PRIVATE & ONFIDENTIAL) I am Mrs Glory Johnson the Director in charge of auditing and
accounting ection of Africa Development Bank (A.D.B) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso
in West Africa. With due respect and regard I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the
nd of the transaction. During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died
on 31st October 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in
his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development. Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to
enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time
of execution. The said amount was U.S $10,500,000.00 (TEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY). Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
Confide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval andtransfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives
and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to
this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a
foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side
during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow
who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a
foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into
\\on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by
the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted
from to your own designation bank account. I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
Our Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after some 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. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of
the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 65% will be for me. Please, you have been advanced to keep
\"top secret\" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service
after I conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you
advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you
when I hear from you. I look forward to receive your e-mail or call 0226
7644 9047. Yours faithfully, Mrs Glory Johnson.
I don\'t know - it sort of sounds legitimage to me. Right...
