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 Africa development Bank, MR. JOSEPH YANA.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of USD$9.900.000 in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his wife and two children in July 2000 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin(近亲属) 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 proposals to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation since nobody is coming for it and we don't 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.
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(开支) 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. JOSEPY YANA.

     There is a famous expression in English," Stop the world,  I want to get off ! " This expression refers to
a feeling of panic, or a stress, that makes people want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and
become calm  again. "Stress"means pressure or tension. It is one of the  most common causes of health
problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental  health problems.
     There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress  can affect the heart.lt can increase the pulse rate,
make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory (呼吸)
system. It can lead to asthma(气喘). It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of
important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach.lt can cause stomachaches and problems of
digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from
stress.
     Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may
have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people  are under stress, they often overreact to
little problems. For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at  l work may yell at a child for
dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
     Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental! illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and j hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing{ stress. Alcoholism and other
addictions often develop as a l result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia(神经性厌食),are sometimes caused by stress and often made worse by
stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
