Dear Friend,
Please in the name of God i ask for your little time to read this message carefully to the excellency of our mutual benefit. So please read this email very gently and tell me what you think, if we can transact it together or not. And please after reading, if it does not interest you please kindly delet the mail and keep the secret of what you red within you.
My name is JOHN HUDSON, i am the operations manager of Continental Bank Benin, Cotonou headquters Republic of Benin. I got your information when i was searching for an oversea partner among other names. I propose this to you in good faith; I am 52 years old, an Ethiopian white based in Benin Republic, married with four lovely kids.
I have a very important business which i would like to execute with you which involves some reasonable amount of cash and no risk involve, i have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the OPS manager in this bank it is my duty to send in a financial report to my headmen office in Potonovo at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year business report, i discovered that we made TEN MILLION BRITISH POUNDS (£10,000,000.00 GBPS) which our head office do not know about, and no single staff is aware of this oversurplus extra cash and will never be aware of it since i have wisely parckaged an arrangement to move out the money for myself as i intend to retire from service soon. I blinded the files. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow account with no beneficiary and awaiting data, so that it would be simply easy for anybody to claim peacefully.
As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so my aim of contacting you is for you to apply and stand as the beneficiary to this money and order the bank to transfer it into your account with immediate effect. As soon as you receive it in your bank account, i agree that you will take 40% of the total funds as your commission. There are practically no risks involved in this event, it will be a bank-to-bank wire transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of the fund who made the deposit with this bank so that my head office can order the transfer to any of your bank account that you shall indicated. I assure you that hence you apply as the beneficiary of the fund it shall be vividly released to you.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much. Email me with this email address (john_hudson@excite.com) so that we can go over the details and i will give you my full information and relay to you more information on the money and explain to you how we should start the claim. Remember there is no risk involved, i promise.
Thank you in advance and May God bless you and your family.
Yours truly
JOHN HUDSON
Operations Manager
Continetal Bank Benin.
BLESSED BE THE
NAME OF GOD.
