Subject: For your attention


Dear sir,

I am a director at the Department Of Minerals and Energy Affairs, Benin. I want to solicit your partnership to transfer the sum of $8,500,000,00 (Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. dollars) abroad. I needed your assistance because as a civil servant, our law does not permit me to own foreign account where such money could be transferred. Your participation is to provide an account where the money will be transferred to. This money is presently in a domiciliary account and is from an over invoiced multi million Dollar contracts awarded to foreign a firm who has already collected the actual cost.

Please note that the the transaction is a confidential one and you should guarantee handling it as such. When the transaction is successfully completed, it shall be shared between you and us here and part shall be used for investment in any profitable venture. If you are interested, send me an email so I can give you more details. I have all the deposit document in my possession.

I await your urgent reply.

Best Regards

Joseph Koffi
