Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend, I am Mr. Hammed Priod,the director of the accounts & auditing dept .at the Bank of AfricaOuagadougou-west Africa. (B.O.A)  with due respect, I have decided tocontact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us. At the bank's lastaccounts/auditing evaluations, my staff came across an old account which wasbeing maintained by a foreign client who we learn was among the deceasedpassengers of motor accident. Since his death, eventhe members of his family haven't applied for claims over this fund and it hasbeen in the safe deposit account, I discovered that it cannot be claimed sinceour client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kinhere to file claims over the money. As the director of the department, thisdiscovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. I decided to seek waysthrough which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the countrytoo. The total amount in theaccount is thirteen million five hundred thousand dollars (USD13,500,000.00).with my positions as staffs of the bank, I am handicappedbecause I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim overthis money. The client was a foreign national, you will only be asked to act ashis next of kin and I will supply you with all the necessary information andbank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank ofyour choice where this money could be transferred into. I want to assure youthat this transaction is absolutely risk free since I work in this bank, whichis why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because youwill be updated with information as at when desired. I will wish you to keepthis transaction secret and confidential as I am hoping to retire with my shareof this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safetyin your account. I will then come over to your country for sharing according tothe previously agreed percentages. You might even have to advise me onpossibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May Godhelp you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen. Please for furtherinformation and enquiries feel free to contact me back immediately for moreexplanation and better understanding. I am waiting for yoururgent response!!! Thanks and remainblessed. Mr. Hammed Priod
