From: Mr Jacob Kossi
Dear Friend,
It is based on the information and recommendation satisfactorily gathered
concerning you/your company that I have decided to discuss this project with
you.Please note that my contacting you is to enable us talk and to establish
trust which I feel would be the basis of our cooperation.
My Name is Mr Jacob Kossi, Head of Contract approval Committee department,
Benin Mines & Energy Industry. My Committee is responsible for processing
and approval of contract payments on completed projects.
This information which I am about to disclosed to you is very confidential,
read carefully and get back to me for details.
It is about a Contracting Company in Benin (name with held) which is also
owned by a Foreign Contractor who has an unpaid contract fund of (5.8
Million Euro), for supply and installation of Industrial Equipments to the
Benin Mines & Energy Industry.This contract project was completed in
November. 2003 and approved in Febuary 2004. But unfortunately the
contractor died in a plane crash along with his wife and the only doughter
before the contract payment was approved. See details of the plane crash
from any of the below Website;
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-12/26/content_293549.htm
Upon receipt of the contract completion report from the site inspectors, My
office officially secured the approval letter bearing the deceased name But
since 2004, the fund was approved, I have been expecting any of deceased's
relatives to come for the claim but till today, no body has shown up,so from
all indications, none of His relatives is aware of this fund. This is a top
secret and no other person here know about this, everyone believes that the
deceased contractor has received his contract fund.
It is on this note that I decided to contact you to enable me stand and
present you as the business partner to the deceased so that the contract
supply payment will be paid to you.I will use my position to update all the
deceased Payment Receiving File in your Name as his business partner so that
this fund will be released to you and you will have 40% while 60% will be
for me.
It does not matter also whether you or your company does contract project of
the nature described here, the asumption is that you won a major contract
and did it or subcontracted it to another company, more often than not; big
trading companies or individuals of unrelated field win major contracts here
in Benin and subcontracts or execute same with more specialized firms.
There is no risk involved and all documents to facilitate the smooth
conclusion of this transaction are legitimate and officially in order. You
can also email me through this address: kosjac46@yahoo.com
I will give you details when I hear from you. Please enclose your Full
names, address and telephone numbers upon your response.
Thanks,
Mr Jacob Kossi
