assured of your credibility of handling this trust and
my hope.

understanding, and co-operation in this transaction as
it will be beneficial to both of us involved.
My name is Miss Mary Awotwe; I am 25years old and a
senior supervisor with Gate way insurance company. I
have been in service with the company for 5 years and

Africa, especially my country Ghana I have decided to
work out this transaction with you.

very long time by one of our customer who has a mining
industry.

depositors name is Jean Claude Benoist who was
reported dead after a brief illness, on sept.10 2000

his relations to come down and clear the Goods, but
there was no news from anywhere.
I as a senior supervisor handling such cases, and as a
lady who has been look forward to visiting and staying
in oversea due to our poor standard of living in
Africa.
I have decided to hand over this transaction to a
trusted person in oversea after which we shall all

England, which was extended to African countries. My

confirmation is made but the entire document needed by
the companies which they have a copy in the file of
