Dear Sir/MA,

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 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.Am still a student studying medicine and
David engineering before the out break of the war. 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 my father, he used my name to deposit some money as
his next of kin in a FINANCE COMPANY CALLED ( ECOWAS SECURITY SARL) and you
can call to verify here in Benin.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT DEPOSITED HERE FOR US IS VALUED AT $9 MILLION DOLLARS. And
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 i need from
you is to help us for the settlement of the clearance fee which they charged
and you bring the following 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 Rep. 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
WE EMPOWER 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. IN EUROPE ALSO YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO HELP US SETTLE FOR THE
CLEARANCE FEE AND YOU WILL NEED ALSO TO PROVIDE AN ACCOUNT IN THE BANK THEIR
WHERE THEY WILL RELEASE AND DEPOSIT FOR YOU? ONLY FOR YOU TO INSTRUCT THE
BANK TO FURTHER TRANSFER TO YOUR ACCOUNT THE PLACE YOU WISH FOR OUR COMING
OVER TO MEET YOU.
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.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION AND HOW THE MONEY WILL BE INVESTED
ONCE YOU COMPLY WITH THE REQUIRMENTS.LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR SOONEST
