Another twist on the traditional scam. These scammers never give up. You should find someone else, not me.

I AM MRS JULIAN KONE

OUAGADOUGOU , BURKINA FASO .
Dear Friend.
CONFIDENTIAL
I will like you to help me, in receiving of this fund into your Bank Account .However; it’s just my urgent need for foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance Department of BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (US$27.2 Million dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign Customer (MR. PAUL LOUIS from Paris, France) who died along with His entire family in July 2003 in a plane crash.
I am afraid if this money stays in our bank without claim for long period of time, our government will step in because
The Banking laws here does not allow such huge amount of money to stay
Dormant for more than 9years. And you will be receiving this money into your Bank account within 10 or 14 banking days.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Eight years an above, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and while 70%would be for me.
If you agree to my business proposal, further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your return mail. Make sure you keep this transaction as your top secret and make it confidential till we receive the fund into the account that you will provide to the Bank. Don’t disclose it to any body, because the secrecy of this transaction is as well as the success of it, have a great day.
Place contact me immediately
Yours faithfully.

Two years ago, Ghana government asked my committee to award contracts to foreign firms, which I and my colleague With our good position, deliberately over invoiced the contract sum to the tune of US$5,500,000:00.
The contracts value has been paid off to the actual contractors that executed these jobs, all I want now is a trusted foreign partner like you that we shall front with the banking account number to Claim the over inflated sum. All I require is your honest cooperation an confidence in me which I know would not come easy.

Please do not fail to understand that in spite of all that, opportunities of this kind still abound.

Here is another attempt to get your personal information

No way would I log in by using the link in this email.

I am drenched with tears reading this sob story. It is so sad that 
they won’t get a response from me
Beloved,  
I am drenched with tears while writing this short message
 to you.
It was heartbreaking news to me few  days ago when my doctor
notified me on complications on my health condition which he
 officially made known to me. He further stressed that the
complication I had in my human mechanism as a result of a
secondary liver cancer which have destroyed all the organs in my
body system.  According to him, he said that this complication
will lead to my imminent death since no medication can alleviate
the high system of deformation I am encountering at this time in
my system.   In the view of the above, I am in quest to find a trustworthy
and upright individual whom I will entrust the sum of $3.2
million USD and this   has led me to you. The said fund was
acquired by me as  an inheritance from my adopted father who
died as a result of political crisis which erupted among his most
political associate and business clique.   I will make available
to you all information and officially
authorize document which will endorse your claim as the beneficiary
to the fund in question in the finance house where the fund was
lodged by my adopted father. I have mapped out the modalities on
how the fund will be apportioned. 35% of the principal amount of
the money will be dished out to you while 65% will be allotted
to any charitable or orphanage home of your preference.  
My motive to dispense the funds to a charity and orphanage home
is that I grew up as an orphan and do not have any heirs hitherto.  
 Upon your acceptance to this proposal kindly get back to me through
this email:

Best Regards
Mrs. Farida Jordan
