Yo, I got this email in my inbox the other day. It sounds really suspicious. Read it:

FROM THE DESK OF MR.ASHRAF ABDUL.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANEGER ,
BANK OF AFRICAN B.O.A
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
0022678785005

Dear Friend,

I am the manager of auditing and accounting at the foreign remittance department of BANK
OF AFRICAN) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned
sum of US$12.5m dollars (TWELVE MILLON FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US 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 in Jully 2001 in a plane crash. Since we got 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 guidlings 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 for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after six years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and aBurkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be
set aside for expenses incurred during the businessand 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 arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation or
next of kin of the deceased with a text of application that i will send to you,so i will like you to send
to me 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 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 letter.Trusting to hear from you immediately.Yours Faithfully,

1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.

MR.ASHRAF ABDUL.


I definitely will not reply to the email, it’s too strange. What’s your thoughts?
