courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential
business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am MR. MICHEAL ADAMZ. The AUDITOR GENERAL in this bank in Benin republic.
There is some fund left in this bank since 1999 and nobody has claimed it.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do
not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The
owner of this money is: MR Raymond Beck: a foreigner, and a business man by
profession and he died since 1999. No other person knows about this money or
any thing concerning it. The owner has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know anything
about this money and the amount involved is (USD$65M) SIXTY FIVE million
United States Dollars.
I want us to claim and transfer the [USD65M]sixty five million United States
Dollars from this account into a safe foreigners account abroad , but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved
to any foreign account because the money is in us dollars and the former

soon as you receive our fund and confirm to me.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this
work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to any
foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to
you upon your willingness immediately. If you are able and with capability
