CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

FROM THE DESK OF: MR JOSEPH YANA

AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)

BURKINA-FASO

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am the Bill and Exchange (assistant) Manager of the African Development Bank, MR JOSEPH YANA.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $9, 900, 000 USD in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his wife and two children in July 2005 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin (近親屬) to come over and claim his money, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him in the plane crash, leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The banking law and guidelines here says that if such money remains unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late customer was a foreigner. We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 65% would be for me, after which I shall visit your country for disbursement (開支) according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank, and send your account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be sent.

Upon receiving your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application which you shall retype and fax to us. Trusting to receive your urgent reply through my alternative Email: jyana96@yahoo.co.id.

Best regards,

MR JOSEPH YANA
