Another question! I'm getting so popular!!


FROM THE DESK OF Mr.**********
BILL AND EXCHANGE
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA ( BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO

Dear Friend,

Compliments,

I am Mr. **********
The manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA. I am writting to seek your coperation over this business deal. In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum ofU.S$12.6 million dollars(Twelve Millon six Hundred Thousand US Dollars)only , in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash,the Late Mr. ********* ,a citizen of Taiwan but naturalised in Burkinafaso,WestAfrica and He was the Governor of Taiwan Central(Reserve)

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately , 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 via your foreign bank account as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and this money could go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after four years, the money will betransfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen to stand as the next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. 30 % of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, inrespect to the provision of a foreign account. 10 %will be set aside for expences incured during the business and 60 % would be for me.There after I will come over to your country for
disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged,you must apply first to the bank as the relation or next of kin to the deceased,indicating your claims and wherein the money will be remitted . Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of application which you will fill and submit to the office of the foreign remittance director of the bank of africa. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is stricly confidential and i will use my position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer of the fund. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Please , visit the website below for more informations about the Plane Crash and the tragic death of the deceased and his entire family, Late Mr. *********

Dear Mr. Bank of Africa Manager,

I'm so touched that you would reach out to me with such an immense problem. No doubt you are in need of my assistance. How sad that such an important client AND his entire family would die in that horrible way, but also how unfortunate that you would be left to tie up such large loose ends. I offer my deepest apologies.

As for the business proposal, although I am flatterd that you would trust me so much even without any experience in anything remotely like this (or even without knowing me at all) AND think so very much of my blooming career as a advice columnist that you would want to fund it so generously, I really must decline. It's not that I don't have the utmost confidence that you have only the best intentions and this would be mutually beneficial, it's just that I am sure there are much better causes this money could go to.

However, my decision still leaves the pickle of what to do with all this money. It really is quite a lot. So, please, let me offer some alternatives. There are some wonderful charities out there, especially in Africa. That's like two birds!! You're doing something great for the world and you don't even have to go bothering yourself about all the international money laundering nonsense.
Some charities that are close to my heart are Art For Animals (http://www.artfortheanimals.org/), Women In Progress (http://www.womeninprogress.org/), and AIDS Children In Africa (http://aids-children.org/). There are literally hundreds more, but I hope these will help you get the ball rolling!!!

I must also offer another teensy piece of advice. SPELLCHECK!!!! I don't mean to be persnickety, but I can't stress how important this is! Especially with the severity of the matters which you're proposing. It sounds like you are dealing with big-wig business deals left and right. A great way to really put someone off is to not take the time to deliver a carefully written, incisive letter. Either way, it speaks volumes about your regard for the recipient.

So, my dear friend, I hope that I have helped you come to a decision. Thank you again for your query. Whatever you decide to do please keep me updated as to what happens next!!

Sincerely,
Stephanie


I must shout out Ms. Erin Bradley for inspiring me to take these guys just as seriously as any other person out there. Junk mails are people too.
