The Desk Of : Alhaji Musa Abdulla
BANK OF AFRICA(B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
WEST AFRICA.

Dear Friend,


(PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL).



I am Alhaji Musa Abdulla the Director in charge of Auditing section Bank Of Africa(.B.O.A)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa. For give my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise. AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERNET SEARCH HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO. I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial to both of us. During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner Mr.Sheu Yuan-dong who died with his wife and their only daughter on February 16,1998 in a plane crash.


The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery to this development. He was the Governor of Taiwan Central(Reserve)Bank. The said amount is U.S $14,000,000(FOURTEEN MILLION UNITED STATE OF AMERICA DOLLAR). I want you to know that I never master minded the death of the deceased fellow. Their death occured Naturally. Please View this website:

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9802/16/taiwan.crash.update2/


FOR YOUR INFORMATION BEEN YOU NOT A TAIWANESE WILL NOT POSE ANY PROBLEM FOR THE SUCESSFUL TRANSFER ON THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide next of kin to the deceased has been put in place and directives will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity. In this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request.


Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Ten years, the money will be transferred 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. I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. Be assured this transaction is 100% risk free.


On conclusion of this Project, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification,while 60% 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 fly down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be discussed. On your acceptance to be my partner, please email for a brief discussion before we proceed. Please keep this proposal secret, even if you dont want to assist me. I look forward to receive your urgent reply.

You should contact me as soon as you receive this letter for furder details and please make sure you

i just received this one today
Dear friend,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have
not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions
of causing you
any pains. My name is Mr. Mark Larson, a merchant
in London, but
taking treatment in Dubai, in the U.A.E. now I have
been diagnosed with
prostate and esophageal cancer that was discovered
very late due to
lack of caring for my health. It has defiled all form
of medicine and
right now,


I have only about a few months to live according to
medicial experts. I
have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone
not even myself but my business. Though I am very
rich, I was never generous, I
was always hostile to people and only focus on my
business as that was the only
thing that matters to me. But now I regret all this as I now
know that there is more to
life than just wanting to have all the money
in the world.


Recently, I use to say to my self that if God should
give me a second
chance I would have live it differently way from how I
have lived. I
was meditating on my hospital bed and something told
me that God is
giving me a second chance by keeping me alive though
doctors said I
won’t last long. I know my time is near, that’s why I
have willed and
given part of my estate to my immediate
and extended
family members and as well as some few close friends.
I have decided
to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this
to be one of
the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have
distributed money to
some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and
Ireland. And I
have also met two people through the net who have helped me
distribute
money to charity organizations in their country. Now
my health is
deteriorating so badly,

I really need you to help me distribute the last of my
fortune. You
might be wondering why I did not ask my close
relatives to pick up
this task. But I once asked members of my family to
close one of my
accounts and donate the money, which I have there to
charity
organizations in Bulgaria ; they closed the account
but did not
donate the money to the organizations, some of them
even fled away with
some of the money while the rest shared the remaining
among themselves.
From the way they acting around
me tells that
they want me dead so that they can take over my estate.
Hence, I do
not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be content
with what I have
left for them. The last of my money which is a huge
cash deposit that
I have with a security firm abroad will be put in your
care if only
you will agree.

I want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity
organizations and let them know that it is I Mark
Larson that is
making this generous donation. I am writing this from
my laptop
computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time
to come.

I pray for you to support and assist me with a good
heart. But the
choice is yours

Please you can contact me through this email address:

helpmarklarson@googlemail.com

Be blessed my beloved,

Mark Larson.

I don't know about you, but when the President of Africa emails me asking for help, I feel it's my civic duty to oblige.:D
