For your kind attention Sir,

My name is Bernard Konte, the member of Contract awarding committee (CAC) of the Federal Ministry of Works & Housing (FMW&H) in Benin Republic. I want to solicit for your assistance and guidelines in making a business investment and transfer of US$36.4, 000,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Four Hundred Thousand US Dollars) to your country.

I was directed by the Governing Council to head the Office as the Board committee chairman of this Contract Review Panel the (CRP) under FMW & Housing. On my mid-term board meeting with my staffs at (CRP) Panel to review of some old files in my Office; Discovery where made between Myself and our Local Central Bank Manager, as the Director of all out-going Funds with our Central Bank i.e the Banque Centrale Des Etats De L'Afrique De L'Ouest (BCEAO), as over inflation of Fund which remains Floating with our Central Bank Account as a result of grossly over-invoiced volume by the former Contract Commissioner during the last administrative tenor. After my proper examination and scrutiny, an approval was granted at my discretion to our Local (BCEAO) Central Bank Manager after findings that the company that actually executed the said contracts was duly paid in full, and has gone back for long after a perfect completion of their Job/Contract with the FMW & Housing. I have been mandated by my colleagues, to look for an overseas partner who could work with us to facilitate transfer of this fund for our mutual benefit. As high placed officers, we are not allowed by the civil service code of conduct to own or operate bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand, it is not safe for us to keep the money here due to unstable political environment.

My proposal is that after you receive the fund, it would be shared as follows: 20%, to you as commission for your co-operation and assistance in facilitating the transfer, 5% has been map out for any taxation fee that might occur during the course of this transfer while the remaining 75% belongs to me and two colleagues. With the Involvement of my Local Bank Manager, all modalities as in Banking has been worked out perfectly and will be concluded within 4 to 5 Working Banking days as the Transfer will either carried out via Banking or through Cash Transfer.


You will be free to take out your commission immediately after the money hits your account in your country. Since our objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be appreciated if you could also help us with advice and direction on investing into profitable ventures in your country.

However, this is optional, and if it is not convenient for you to further to assist us with investing the money, we can end our cooperation after you make available to me our part of the money. The transaction, although discreet, is legitimate and the money will be transferred successfully with all necessary back-up official documents showing the legitimate source/origin of fund.

I plead with you on one issue, whether you are interested or not, kindly do not expose this information to anyone else. I confirm that the transaction is legitimate and without any risks either to yourself or us. I wait for your response.

Regards,
Bernard Konte.
