CHIEF AUDITOR MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC.
ATT:Managing Director,
Forgive my indignation if these message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your
prior consent and writing through this channel.
I am JAMES FASSASSE,CHIEF AUDITOR MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC.I got your
information,while browsing in the internet through the websit of investment opportunities and individual profiles in your country.for a reliable,honest
and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.
I was simply inspired and motivated to write you.
I wish to transfer the sum of $14,300,000.00 USD (Fourteen Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only)into your personal or company`s bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoiced
Industrial Contract bills awarded by MINISTRIE OF
FINANCE ECONOMICS COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC to some
foreign firms.This DEAL was deliberately hatched out
and carefully protected with all the attendant lope
holes sealed off.
As the chief auditor,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary. It was my consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our beleive in the non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region.
The original contractors have been duely paid by the
Banque Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest
(Central Bank of the West African States)This
balanceis suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting
claims by any foreign company of our choice.I intend
to pay out this fund now as the organisation is
winding up its activities.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.This is the more reason why,we needs your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country.
I have however agreed,as the account owner in this
deal to allow you 40% of the entire sum as
compensation,why 55% will be held on trust for me
while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges
and cost if any,during the course of the transactions.
This transaction will be successfully concluded within
5-7 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due
cooperation.
The certificate of job completion of one of the contracts will be issued in your for the transfering of the fund to your nominated account without delay.As with the case of all organised (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for our unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards.
There are no risks involved.
REPLY ASAP.
With regards,
MR.JAMES FASSASSE
