Well I just got home from shopping and visiting to find this watch out as some ppl are gullable to reply back here is what it said....



FROM THE DESK OF Mr.RAZAK HAJI.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
MY PRIVATE NUMBER 00226 78 851 490 .

Dear Friend,

TOP SECRET/CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT TRANSACTIONAL DEMAND.


I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Bank Of Africa(BOA).
I am writing to you, following the impressive information received about you from the chambers of commerce. I believed that you are capable and reliable to champion this businees opportunity.
In my departmentn we discovered an abandoned sum of $25,300m US dollars (Twenty five million three hundred thousand 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 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 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 and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness 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 guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five 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 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 incured during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement accoding 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 relations 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 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 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.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your's faithfully,
Mr.RAZAK HAJI.
Bill and exchange manager,
Bank Of Africa (BOA)

The day someone does something about ppl doing this I'll be more likely be 6ft under LMAO:lol:

I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$10.5m,(Ten million and five hundred thousand United States Dollars),left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited. The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, 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.
