Scams Scams

Who falls for this crap?  Apparently a lot of people.

DR.SANOU BELLO

Dear SUCKA,

I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of Africa,
Ouagadougou . I decided to contact you after a careful thought that you
may be capable of handling this business transaction which i explained
below;

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5m US dollars
(Ten million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in
2001 in a plane crash.

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 somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin(his son and wife)
died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department
now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you
as the next of kin (We want to present you as his busines asociate)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 guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
UNclaimed after seven 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 Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside
for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account
as arranged,you must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the
deceased customer. 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 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.

I expect that you contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

Hoping to hear from you immediately.

Yours faithfully,
DR. SANOU BELLO
Accounts & Audit Department ,
Bank of Africa

Nb.also give me your telephone and fax numbers for easy comunication with you.
