*Attn:,
My name is Mr Austin Thomas , and i work with the Central Bank of Benin,here
in Benin Republic as a Manager in(Telex/Computer Section) . I am incharge of
all payment into foreign bank account.I will help you IF you would not deny
me after i helped you .
As i was going through the computer this morning ,i saw your name and your
unpaid inheritance fund/ Expired Cheque which has been kept for quite some
time now uncashed/unpaid due to some outstanding fees you need to offset
before your payment could be delivered or transferred to you,though this
your payment was sometime discussed with our Director, but this information
i want to give to you now , do not discuss it with our Director as i will
not be happy if you do and i will abandon it as soon as you inform him about
this development .
You see , i am ready to credit this your money into you bank account just of
Free Of Charge (FOC)since i am incharge here, i am given you 100% Assurance
that i can do this for you, but on the ground that you will give me 5% or
10% of the total sum IMMEDIATELY this fund is credited into your account
just as soon as the credit is effected , i will cover up every tracing point
about this fund so that no one could trace or find out about this fund
again. You know this thing i am embarking on is some how illegal, but i
want to take the risk so that i will make some money to establish good
business out there.
Please if the above sugestion is ok by you ,do reply me immediately i will
inform you about the next step .
Note that the Hard Disc for all foreign payments is only one and there is no
way i can use the same Disc to credit your account to avoid any trace and on
that ground you will have to buy a Hard Disc in your country and send to me
so that i will transmit all your file into it and later use it to credit
your account.You don't need to spend money any more before you receive your
money except the Hard Disc you will buy and send to me.
I would have asked you to send money to buy it here in africa, but for the
fact that it will be cheaper in your country than here, hence i wanted you
to buy it there and send it to me.The name of the Hard Disc is (Supio H4)
and please do not buy any one made in taiwan, the best is the one made in
England ok please take note, and what is needed is just one Hard Disc only
to execute this transaction either the small size or the big size any one
among them can serve ok.This Hard Disc is used for crediting of an account,
only use in the bank and financial houses . Just buy it and send it to me
immediately so that before the next 48hrs the job will be completed.
Thanking you in advance for your understanding.
Yours sincerely
Mr. Austin Thomas
(CENTRAL BANK OF BENIN)
