RE:TRANSFER OF (USD 65 MILLION)
In order to transfer out (USD 65 MILLION) SixtyFive million United States Dollars) from ECOBANK BENIN.
I have the courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential business
believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am MR SAMARK UKEH,the auditor of ECOBANK BENIN. There is an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since
2000 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner
of this account is Mr. DESTIN PAL, a foreigner, and a miner at D & D INVESTMENT CO, a geologist by
profession and he died since 1990. No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this company
does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is (USD 65M) Sixty Five million United
States Dollars). I want to transfer the [USD65M] SixtyFive million United States Dollars into a safe
foreigners account abroad , but I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account
because the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the account is Mr.DESTIN PAL is a foreigner
too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know our selves before,but be
sure that it is real and a genuine business. I only got your contact address from my secretary who
operates computer with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. You are the only
person that I have contacted in this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the
next step to take urgently.
Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details of
the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind
us together so that you can receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where
the fund will be safe. I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments. I am
contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign
beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to
approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you
later immediately, if you are able and with capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again
in my life.
I need truthful person in this business because I don't want to make mistake I need your
strong assurance and trust. With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending
my physical arrival in your country for sharing. and i want to remaind you that your share has been
carculated at 35% of the total sum. I waiting for your urgent reply so that i will give you more information my alternrtive
