Question

MR SALIHU AHMED
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.


Dear Friend
(TOP SECRET)

I am Mr Salihu Ahmed the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Africa Development Bank, (ADB) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 16th febuary 1998 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his accountwith this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was U.S $9.2M (NINE million TWO hundred Thousand United States dollars).

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

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 45% of the total sum as gratification, while 55% will be for me. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.

All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you

I look forward to receive your mail

Yours faithfully,

Mr Salihu Ahmed

Answer 1

Its a scam...You should respond to the e-mail and give them some 900 sex or psychic line number to call and tell them you would like to hear from them immediately that you are very interested and will do whatever it takes to make the transaction go through. I think its time we start screwing with all these african hustlers.

Answer 2

Obviously its a scam...and a very common one. I get at least 4 or 5 of these A DAY. (I don't know who's list I got on, but its pretty annoying.) If I got all the money these con artists said they wanted to give me over the last 4 months, I'd be a billionaire right now, no lie. Do not send this guy any information at all (identity theft) and for pete's sake, don't send him any money.

Answer 3

It's one of the oldest scams on the 'net. Just delete it. The only money in this "deal" is the money you will LOSE of you contact these scumbags.
