BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICA (B-O-A)OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.

I am Mrs. BETICA LUCAS ; the Manager in charge of Bill & Exchange section of Bank Of Africa, (B-O-A) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transactiaon 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 6th December 2003 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although, I personally keep the information within myself to enable the whole plans and ideas be Profitable and successful during the time of clearance from the Bank custody.

The said amount was $10.5m dollars (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand US dollars) You can see the below web site for your clarifications of the incident leading to PAUL LOUIS HALLEY Death: http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/oxfordshire/4537003.stm

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bona fide 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, and 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 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been advised to keep “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 send to you when I hear from you soon.

1.NAME IN FULL:…………………………..
2.ADDRESS:…………………………………
3.NATIONALITY:……………………………..
4.AGE:………………………………………
5.Sex……………………………………….
6.OCCUPATION:………………………………..
7.MARITAL STATUS:…………………………….
8.PRIVATE PHONE NO……………………………………..
9.PRIVATE FAX NO:………………………………………

so i will like you to send to me those information’s for easy and effective communication. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application form.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail.
Trusting to hear from you immediately

Yours Faithfully,
MRS.BETICA LUCAS
MANAGER AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

Again, someone has made the mistake of not offering me a 50/50 split..

Today’s quote: “A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” ~ Douglas Adams

I choose today’s quote because – perhaps I have just become “world weary” and jaded – I am at the point where should someone fall for this (it’s 2011.. and this scam has been around since the Internet.. say.. 1995?) I am kind of thinking Darwin’s Law should apply.

(Darwin’s Law = the weak, the slow, and the stupid are food.)

Bonus (for reading this far): FOTIS winner Set Rosenblatt has written An early, first look at Windows 8 (hands-on)

“Not unlike an artfully created but tiny-portioned appetizer leading into a flavorful and filling main course that remains stuck in the kitchen, my first hands-on experience with Windows 8 left me eager for what was coming but disappointed with what was set in front of me.” Read more..
