THROUGH OIL PROCEEDS DURING HIS TENURE IN OFFICE. INFACT, IT WAS DISCOVERED
AFTER HIS DEATH THAT HE WAS WORTH WELL OVER $4.5 BILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS AND SOME OF THIS MONEY WAS RETRIEVED AFTER HE DIED WHILE SOME WAS
RECOVERED FROM OFFICIALS THAT SERVED UNDER HIM DURING HIS REIGN AS FORMER
PESIDENT OF COTONUO BENIN REPUBLIC THE TRUTH OF THIS CASE IS THAT MY CLIENT
DESPITE THE PROBLEM SHE IS GOING THROUGH NOW, SHE STILL HAS A LOT OF MONEY
IN HER POSSESSION.WHICH SHE INTENDS TO INVEST OUTSIDE OUR COUNTRY.
WHAT MY CLIENT NEEDS FROM YOU NOW IS A RELIABLE ACCOUNT WHERE SHE CAN
TRANSFER SOME MONEY BUT MIND YOU, ALL THE MONEY IN HER POSSESSION CAN NOT
LEAVE AT ONCE BECAUSE SHE NEEDS TO BUILD CONFIDENCE AND TRUST IN SOMEONE WHO
WOULD NOT EXPOSE HER PLAN TO REMIT AND POSSIBLY INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY.
SO SHE HAS AGREED THAT I SHOULD MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR THE TRANSFER OF
$70.MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS AND YOU ARE FREE TO NEGOTIATE YOUR MODE OF
COMPENSATION EVEN AS SHE INTENDS TO INVEST THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
PLEASE, DO NOT HESITATE TO INDICATE YOUR VIEW OF THIS REQUEST BY CONTACTING
ME IMMEDIATELY YOU RECEIVE THIS MAIL, SO THAT THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS CAN
BE MADE FOR THE MONEY TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
DUE TO THE PRESENT SITUATION OF MY CLIENT, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF THIS REQUEST
CAN BE KEPT A SECRET. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THERE IS NO RISK
INVOLVED. I HOPE MY CLIENT WOULD BE HAPPY INVESTING WITH YOU IN YOUR
COUNTRY.
