Subject: THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT
Attn,
I am a citizen of Togo in Lome in west Africa I am 35years of
age of two children, now living in Cotonou Republic of Benin in West
Africa, during my staying in my country I worked with one of the biggest
company name Alkali group of companies owned by a Saudi-Arabian man called
Sheik Mohamed Sheriff who is residing in Riyadh state in Saudi Arabia before
is death in two years ago. After the family of my boss shared the properties
and companies, I was lucky to transfer to our Financing &Bureau De Exchange
as a stock keeper of which I worked till end of this May 2005 Before I
resigned. early this year February, there is a fire problem in my office and
our office complex is five-story building with different offices. I was in
the office when this fire started and a I rush down to second floor where
their is a trunk of box of money that contains the sum of 16.5millon euro
that my office want to transfer to our correspondent office in Belgium. All
effort to off this fire prove abortive till the building burnt to collapsed.
None of our staff or officer knows that the 16.5million
euro is in my possession they all believe that it is burnt together with the
building.
After our office conclude their investigation on what may cause the
fire problem, the management decided to sack all the top officer
including me as a stock keeper we are all suspected, but there is no trace
of this money, immediately I transferred this trunk of box of
16.5million euro through diplomatic arrangement to a Security &Vault company
in my neighboring country in Cotonou for safekeeping and I did not declare
the content as money what I told the security and vault company that is
inside the trunk box is jewelries and costumes accessories belonging to a
foreign investor for security reason. Furthermore, the only assistant I need
is a reliable and honest foreign partner that can be able to come down to a
visa free country Cotonou in republic of Benin in west Africa to receive
this money together with me and open a transit account domiciliary in your
name and deposited this money by cash before onward transfer to your
nominated account in your
country.because since my life time i have not travel to abroad before, that
is why i need an urgent assistance.
I will offer you 30% of total amount of 16.5millon euro for your
assistance to act as a beneficiary of the fund and your time to come down to
Cotonou for final transaction, 60% will be my own and 10% for any expenses
that may be incurred during the transferring of this fund. So this is a risk
free transaction, is not a drug money or government money it's a divine from
God. If you are interested as a foreign body kindly forward to me your full
information as follows;
{1} Your full home /office address
{2} Your direct telephone/fax number
{3} Your scan copy of your international passport or driving license.
All this information is needed to secure your identity card from the
Security &Vault Company in Cotonou in republic of Benin in West Africa
where this fund was kept as the owner. Immediately I hear from you I
will forward the certificate of deposit of this trunk box to you for
assurance.
