    DR MIKE SAWA.

    FROM THE DESK OF DR DR MIKE SAWA.

    BILL AND EXCHANGE
    MANAGER.

    AVENUE DE LA RESISTANCE DU 17 MAI.

    BANK OF AFRICA. BURKINA
    FASO.01 BP 362.

    FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT.

    OUAGADOUGOU ,01 BURKINA
    FASO.

    PLANE CRASH WEB
    SITE...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm


    ("REMITTANCE OF $25 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS


    CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")



    COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON
    2008,

    FIRST, I MUST SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION.THIS IS
    BY

    VIRTUE OF ITS NATURE AS BEING UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP
    SECRET.

    HOWEVER AFTER SERIES OF PETITION WAS RECIEVED BY THIS PRESENT
    REGIME FROM FOREIGN CONTRACTORS AND INABILITY OF THE BANK OF AFRICA
    (BOA)TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION FOR THE PAYMENT TO ITS FOREIGN
    CREDITORS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS, THEY MANDATED
    US TO CARRY OUT A CAREFUL AND COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ALL OVERDUE
    PAYMENTS TO FOREIGN CONTRACTORS AND TO EFFECT PAYMENTS
    IMMEDIATELY.

    DURING THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROCESS, WE DISCOVERED AN
    ABANDONED SUM OF US$25 M (TWENTY FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS) IN AN ACCOUNT
    THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS
    ENTIRE FAMILY IN A PLANE CRASH THAT HAPPENED IN (NOVEMBER 2 1999).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 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 AND OTHER OFFICIALS IN MY

    DEPARTMENT 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.

    I AGREE THAT
    40% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS A FOREIGN PARTNER, IN RESPECT TO
    THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT,AND 50% WOULD BE FOR ME, WHILE 10%
    WILL BE FOR EXPENSES INCURE DURING THE TRANSACTION. THERE AFTER I WILL
    VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGE
    INDICATED.THEREFORE, TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THIS FUND TO
    YOU AS ARRANGED, 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 WHEREIN THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED.

    UPON THE
    RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY, I WILL SEND TO YOU BY EMAIL THE TEXT OF THE
    APPLICATION TO FILL AND SEND TO THE BANK. I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO
    YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS HITCH-FREE RISK AND THIS
    TRANSACTION WILL ONLY TAKE US 14 BANKING DAYS BECAUSE AS A BANKER, I
    KNOW WHAT TO DO AND MOVE THE FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT ANY DELAY
    AND THATYOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY ATOM OF FEAR AS ALL REQUIRED
    ARRANGEMENT HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE TRANSFER.

    YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME ON
    AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER SO THAT I WILL SEND YOU THE TEXT OF
    THE APPLICATION TO APPLY TO THE BANK AND THE DATA INFORMATION OF THE
    DECEASED.



    YOUR'S FAITHFULLY,

    DR DR MIKE SAWA.(ESQ).

    FROM (BOA)
    OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO

    I have a collection of them If I can be bothered I enter in to the spirit of it all and ask for £500 up front for my expenses and to settle the trust issues due to so much fraud on internet whilst explaining I dont really need the money as I am already rich beyond counting due to having already received 2 such inheritances before

    If we all did it they would be spamed out

    I don't like those emails that have some bizarre message at the end that says "If you don't forward this email to all your friends your dog will die".....................Whaaaaaaaat????

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.
