FROM MR. DANIEL ISSOUF
The Manager, Auditing & Accounting Dept.
Bank of Africa (BOA).
Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso.

Dear Friend,

I am MR.DANIEL ISSOUF. THE MANAGER, AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING DEPT. BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) in Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso .

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (US$18,700,000.00).
EIGHTEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich , Germany ) who died along with his entire family are victims of AF4590 in 31st July 2000 plane crash.

Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it, unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased person for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidelines here 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 to a foreigner.

I have agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. 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.

Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Yours Faithfully,

MR. DANIEL ISSOUF.

Manager, Auditing and Accounting Dept.

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in these scam e-mails have absolutely no connection with this scam!

The scammers never use their real names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!

There are many different types of 419 scam (examples) but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary / commision, low-interest loan, lottery prize, cheap gold dust / diamonds, work visa, etc.) in return for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get you to willingly send them money.

NOTE TO SPAMMERS: My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good but it isn't perfect. Occasionally a regular spam e-mail may get mistakenly published here as a 419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish to have your spam crap mistakenly published on this website as an advance fee scam, the solution is simple. Don't send me your spam crap.
