Before his trip and untimely death to Nairobi Kenya with his Business Associates, I co-ordinated one of his business transaction with those of his two Foreign Agent counterparts for the Building of new Private Telecommunication Company in the Administrative Capital of Porto Novo, which the negotiation was still going on before their sudden death through Air Disaster and a whopping amount worth of ($12,500.000.00) has been already committed by his Foreign Associates which was deposited with our bank for the Project. Due to his death occured during his active service in the Government, then the government decided to carry a thorough audit of his access whether it correspond with his Declaration on the day he was sworned in to office which the Telecommunication Project was not register with the authority. But through my office in collaboration with the wife of Dr. AKOBI, the Project amount of (US$12,500.000.00) was secured in our Security Bank Vault with different registration code without the noticed of the auditors whom has visited our bank and gone. With this situation and discovery I decided to make this business proposal to you, for further release of this money to you as the Foreign Business Associates of late Dr. AKOBI for safety to prevent this money from going into the government or bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. I and Mrs. AKOBI has agreed to set aside 30% of the total amount involved for you while 70% will be for me and Mrs. AKOBI which shall be released after the funds must have been remitted into your bank account. This business is hitch or risk free as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within Fourteen banking days, after you apply as the Business Associate of Late Dr. AKOBI.
When replying to this mail, kindly include your Personal contact address and Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication. I will be very happy if you can treat this business with the utmost confidentiality it demands because of my official position in this bank.
Best Regards,
Dr. GADO Medard. Alternante Email: medard1971@yahoo.fr
