AN OFFICIAL of ECOBANK BENIN There is an account opened in the above bank

and a miner at DIAMOND SAFARI (pty), an INDUSTRALIST by profession and he
died since 1993. 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 his company does not know anything about this account and
the amount involved is (USD 26M) twenty six million United States Dollars
and a deposit of 200kg of alluvial gold dust pending shipment .
