Dear Partner
In my quest to make sure that late Mr. Ricardo Eduardo’s hard earned
money doesn’t end up in wrong hands whereas someone from his country
such as you and I could make use of the money for the betterment of
life, properties and a great benefit to both of us and even our
families in the near future. I work with Bank of Africa here in
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Everything will be done legally, have no fear about this, secondly,
Mr. Ricardo Eduardo did not declare any next of kin in the fixed
deposit account documents he made with our bank, as long as the
deposit documents with our bank is concerned, he has no next of kin
recorded in them, you are free of any trouble or risk, this I assure
you.
Sir, the fund belongs to the deceased and he died along side with his
next of kin on Sunday via Ethiopia Airline that was crash and you can
go through the link as
follows <Link to CNN news story>
However, I am glad to have your consent in making this important claim
with me, it is a serious transaction and should be taken as such at
all times, I am certain that in less than 7 banking working days the
money will be in your chosen bank account. You will only have to
follow my directives to avoid mistakes in the process of making the
claim. The truth about the whole issue is that our bank will turn this
deposit to the national treasury if this claim is not made before
October 30th, 2019 and it is important we act quickly in applying for
the claim of the fixed deposit.
You stand no risk of any kind in this because I am 100% sure that once
you file in an application, that it will be expressly processed and
approved since it is my department that will approve it. It does not
matter if you have any relationship with late Mr. Ricardo Eduardo or
not, you do not have to worry for any reason. All I require is your
honest co-operation and to give me my own share of the money once it
is transferred into your bank account. Another important thing is for
you to keep this transaction to yourself, it is very, very important
that you maintain a strict confidentiality regarding this transaction
to avoid third party complications.
To tell you a little of myself, I was born on the 19th day of
November, 1958. I am a United Kingdom citizen by birth Although, I am
originally from Alberta, Western part of United Kingdom but I have
lived and worked in Ouagadougou capital city of Burkina Faso for years
with my wife and two daughters, I love my family very well and would
not want to disappoint them for any reason.
Any email you receive from our bank should first be forwarded to me so
I can read it and advise you on it before you give a reply to it. Due
to the time difference between here and your country, I do not see any
chance of our bank calling you on phone. If however you are called,
always tell them to send you email by claiming you do not understand
their spoken English well. This is basically to avoid been asked
questions you cannot give the rights answers and thereby jeopardize
our chances of getting the money. Even if they tell you to come in
person to the United Kingdom, tell them you cannot come in person
because of your busy schedule. These important roles are what you are
to play, once you do them, be assured that we will receive the money
and the interest on it as well.
The amount to be transferred to your bank account that belongs to the
deceased is Ten Million, One Hundred and Sixty Eight Thousand Dollars
(US$10,168,000.00) and this will go a long way to help our finances
We will share it as follows 50% for you and 40% for myself and 10% for
miscellaneous expenses.
The next thing I will do is to draft an application letter of claim
which you will have to send to our bank through email. The application
letter of claim will come with a photograph. But then, Please kindly
reconfirm the below information to me and in my next mail, I will send
you the fund documents and the application letter with our bank
address.
1) Full Names:
2) Age and Date of Birth
3) Address, City and State:
4) Profession:
5) Direct mobile number:
6) Copy of your identification (DRIVERS LICENSE OR COMPANY ID CARD):
7) Pin Code
8) Marital Status
9) Sex
10)Bank Name
11)Bank Account
12)Account Holder:
I hope you will get back to me soon enough. And I assure you that once
my department make the necessary endorsement in regard of your
application and also approve it, the money will be paid into any bank
account you may provide, regardless of where the account is and I will
join you for my own share. If there is anything you do not understand
or wish to ask, you are to write and ask so I can have the issue
cleared.
For security reasons, please keep every communication I share with you
regarding this transaction secret and confidential to yourself till
the money get to your account. Kindly reply me to my private email:
