FROM THE DESK OF MR AHMED MUSA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.WEST AFRICA
Dear Good Friend,
I AM THE MANAGER OF BILL AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREING REMITTANCE
DEPARTMENT
BANK OF AFRICAN (BOA). I CRAVE YOUR INDULGENCE AS I CONTACT YOU IN SUCH
A
SURPRISING MANNER. BUT I RESPECTFOLLY INSIST YOU READ THIS LETTER
CAREFULLY
AS I AM OPTIMISTIC IT WILL OPEN DOOR FOR UNIMAGINABLE FINANCIAL REWARDS
FOR
BOTH OF US.
IN MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF THIRTEEN MILLION
SEVEN
HUNDRED THAUSAND US DOLLERS ($13.7M)ONLY,IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO
ONE
OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN A PLAN
CRASH.

SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH,WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS
NEST OF
KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE IT TO
UNLESS
SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS NEST OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED AS
INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDELINES BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE LEARNT THAT
ALL HIS
SUPPOSED NEST OF KIN OR RELATION DIED ALONG WITH HIM AT THE PLAN CRASH
LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM.

IT IS THEREFORE UPON THIS DISCOVERY THAT I NOW DECIDED TO MAKE THIS
BUSINESS
PROPOSAL TO YOU SO THAT THE MONEY COULD BE RELEASE TO YOU AS THE NEST
OF KIN
OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED FOR SAFETY AND SUBSEQUENT DISBURSEMENT
SINCE
NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND I DONT WANT THIS MONEY TO GO INTO THE BANK
TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINE HRER STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH MONEY
REMAINED
UNCLAIMED AFTER FIVE YEARS,THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE BANK
TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND.

THE REQUEST FOR A FOREIGNER AS NEST OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS
OCCASIONED BY
THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREINER AND A BURKINA CANNOT STAND AS
NEST
OF KIN TO A FOREINER.WE AGREE THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS
A
FOREIGN PARTNER,IN RESPECT TO THE PROVITION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, 10%
WILL
BE SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURRED DURING THE BUSINESS AND 60% WOULD BE
FOR
ME.
TRUSTING TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.

YOURS FAITHFULY,
MR AHMED MUSA

That's an old Nigerian Email scam. The names may have changed, but It's a ripoff Jack.

I know, I just love it when they try though.

There have been some good ones out there. Spend a day over at Snopes to read some hillarious scams.
