Dear friend ,
URGENT AND CONFIDENCIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am Hellen Lounge Tawande(Mrs.). Widow of the late Col. Oddah Tawande the
former governor of State of Cote D'Voire. My late husband was one of the
victims of the rebel armies in the on-going war in Cote D 'Voire
Right now, i am in refugee camp in Europe, all my husband's relatives who
supposed to help me and my children at this stage of hardship, are all in
the opposition party to my late husband,just because that my husband married
me as a foreigner which is against their traditions here in our country.
I have just been informed by my family attorney Barrister M G B Epiphane
that my late husband operated a secret account with fictitious name in a
bank in Benin Republic into which a total sum of nineteen million, five
hundred thousand U.S dollar ($19.5M) was transferred and credited into his
favour . the attorney
now advised me to seek in confidence a foreign account into which this fund
could be transferred for disbursement as directed by my late husband in
his will.
It has been resolved
that 25% will be your share for nominating an account for this purpose and
any other assistance you will give in that regard.
10% has been mapped out to pay back all local and international expenses
which may be incurred in the transfer process and 5% has been conceded to
the local bank manager here assisting in facilitating the transfer.
Finally 60% will come to my self and my children and good part of this
shall be directed towards executing his will which is to buy shares and
stocks in foreign countries to secure his children future. To facilitate
the conclusion of this transaction
Please note that I have been assured that the transaction will be concluded
in ten (10) bank working days upon my receiving from you the reply to this
I shall commence the process of retrieving the will
immediately I hear from you.
May I at this point emphasize the high level of confidentiality which this
business demands and I Hope you will not betray the trust and confidence
I repose in you.
However you may need to give me sufficient assurance that you will not sit
on this fund when it is finally remitted into your account.
Please direct your reply by e-mail to our family attorney as indicated
above and discuss with him towards effective completion of this
transaction.
Regards.
HELLEN TAWANDE (Mrs)
