CHIEF AUDITOR MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC.
Dear Good Friend,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if
it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.
I DR DANIEL OBOSI CHIEF AUDITOR MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC.I got your information when I was searching for a
reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.I was
simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and
lists in the web site.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 needed
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.
Upon the receipt of this informations,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.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY SECURED EMAIL WHICH IS danobosi00@yahoo.com
REPLY ASAP.
With regards.
