Dear Friend,
Please permit me to use this medium to explain my problem to you but firstly, I will like to tell you who I am so that you will understand and comprehend my point clearly because of the fraud and scam around the world now which i have been very careful about not to fall a victim because this money is the only hope of our life and living now.
My name is Judith Makoulou Ankoh and I am here in Benin Republic with my junior brother David and we are from Congo Democratic but here in Benin Republic we entered as a result of the war in my country which lead to the death of my father and mother living me and David alone on earth. And here in Benin republic we entered as a refugee.I am still a student studying medicine and David engineering before the out break of the war.I am 24 years of age and David is 22.
Please we need your assistance and help and that is why we are writing you now.
Before the death of our father, he used my name to deposit some money as his next of kin in a FINANCE COMPANY CALLED (CALLED ROYAL PLUS SERVICES SARL) and you can call to verify here in Benin. THE TOTAL AMOUNT DEPOSITED HERE FOR US IS VALUED AT $9 MILLION DOLLARS. And I am standing as the beneficiary but cannot lay claim because here they do not allow refugees to operate account in the bank here.
Please what we need from you is to help us for the settlement of the clearance fee which they charged and you bring your personal informations that will enable us to change the effect of the beneficiary in your favour so that they can transfer to your account once we change you as the person we authorise and empower to help us for the claim. And also we will like you to come down here in Benin Republic to witness the transaction.
NOTE; ANOTHER ALTERNATIVELY IS STILL HERE IF YOU CANNOT COME DOWN TO
BENIN REPUBLIC WHERE WE ARE PRESENTLY.
NOW THAT OUR VISA WILL BE OUT SOON FOR OUR TRAVEL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY FOR THE CONTINUATION OF OUR STUDY. WE HAVE ALSO APPLIED FOR THEM TO RELEASE OUR MONEY TO WHOMEVER WE NOMINATE AS THE PERSON TO HELP US CLEAR OUR MONEY OUT FROM THE FINANCE SECURITY COMPANY AS THE NEW BENEFICIARY EITHER IN BENIN REPUBLIC OR IN THEIR AFFILIATE OFFICE IN EUROPE.
AND ONCE THIS IS DONE,YOU WILL FROM THERE SEND TO US MONEY FOR THE
PURCHASE OF OUR TICKET. PLEASE INDICATE YOUR WILLINGLESS TO HELP US BY FORWARDING FOR US THE FOLLOWING FOR THE CHANGE OF THE BENEFICIARY TO YOUR FAVOUR.
1.YOUR FULL NAME.
2.YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS.
3.YOUR TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBER.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED TO PROCEED IN THE TRANSACTION.PLEASE CONTACT US VAI THE ABOVE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR EASY ACCESSING
THANKS AND GODBLESS YOU.
