After the burial of my father, my uncle conspired and sold my father's
properties to one Chin ease Expatriate and live nothing for me. One
faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents
which he have deposited huge amount of money in one bank in Cotonou,Benin
Republic with my name as the next of kin.
I travelled to Cotonou,Benin Republic to withdraw the money so that I can
start a better life and take care of myself. On my arrival, the Branch
manager of the Bank whom I met in person told me that my father's
instruction to the bank was the money will be release to me only when I
finished my university studies or before then present a trustee who will
help me and invest the money overseas.Now there is no money to continue my
studies.
I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand
as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for transfer of the
money to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my
prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me
as your own son.
Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without
knowing you, well, I will say that my mind convinced me that you may be the
true person to help me. More so, I will like to disclose much to you if you
can help me to relocate to your country because my uncle have threaten to
assassinate me.
The amount is thirteen million two hundred thousand United States
Dollars($13.2 Million USD) and I have confirmed from the bank in
Cotonou,Benin Republic. You will also help me to place the money in a more
profitable business venture in your Country.
However, you will help by recommending a nice University in your country so
that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with
20% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital
in your establishment.
As soon as I receive your interest in helping me, I will put things into
action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent
message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction
sincerely.
Please do keep this only to your self. I beg you not to disclose it till i
come over because I am affraid of my weaked uncle who has threatened to kill
me.
Please contact me with this my private email

Sincerely yours,
Dominic Dim Deng Jr.
