God for his good work.
I am Mr. Joseph Gogo presently promoted to Auditor General of Eco Bank Plc
here in Cotonou Du Republic of Benin. During the course of our auditing
last week, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank
in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account again, after
going through some old files in the records, I discovered that the owner
of the account died without a will, hence the money is floating and if
I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
Believe God is all you are doing.
I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you
to treat it serious. I and my collueges, want to transfer to an oversea
account (US$16,700.000.00) Sixteen Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) from Eco Bank Plc here in Cotonou, Republic of Benin. I
want to ask you, If you are capable to or will quietly look for a reliable
and honest person who will be capable, Honest and trustworthy to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank account as soon
as posible to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me
. I pray for your understanding.

of Alaska, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska
Airlines Flight 261 which crahsed on January 31 2000, including his wife

) and ( http://www.alaskaair.com/E_latest.asp ) . May their soul rest in
perfect peace Amen.
Be informed that no one knows about this account or any thing concerning
it, the account has no other beneficiary and,The total amount involved is
Sixteen million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only [$16,700.000.00]
and we wish to transfer this money into a safe foreigners account abroad.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved
to a local person here, but to a foreigner who has information about the
account, which I shall give to you upon your positive response.
Finally, we have made arrangements upon the reciept of your readiness and
confirmation of go ahead we shall distroy all documents of such mentioned
person to avoid further cross check in future as I will use my position

money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
and foreign exchange departments.
