Dear Friend,
Please in the name of God i ask for your little time to read this
message carefully to the excellency of our mutual benefit. This is not
one of those letters or stories out there that everybody know as joke. I
am very serious and this money is my only hope of survival now and it is
the future of my family. So please read this email very gently and
quietly tell me what you think,if we can transact it together or not.
And please after reading if it does not interest you please kindly

My name is JOHN HUDSON, i am the operations manager of Continental Bank
Benin, Cotonou headquaters Republic of Benin. I got your information
when i was searching for an oversea partner among other names. I write
you this proposal in good faith; I am 52 years old an Ethiopian white
based in Benin Republic, married with two lovely kids.
I have a very important business which i would like to execut with you
which involves some reasonable amount of cash, i have packaged a
financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the OPS manager in
this bank it is my duty to send in a financial report to my headmen
office in Potonovo at the end of each business year. On the course of
the last year 2006 business report, I discovered that we made three
million five hundred thousand pounds (3.5m)GBPS) which my head office
and no single staff are not aware of and will never be aware of since i
have wisely arranged and blinded the files. I have placed this funds on
what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary.
As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money,
so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your
bank account and get 30% of the total funds as commission.
There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank
transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original
depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my
head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much.
(hudson2009john@hotmail.fr) email me with the email address so that we
can go over the details and i will give you my full informations and
relay to you more information onthe money and explain to you how we
should start the claim.
Remember there is no risk involved i promise.
Thank you in advance and May God bless you and your family.
Yours truly
John HUDSON
Operations Manager
