Dear ,
Compliment of the day to you.
I saw your details and profile from the internet and want you to help me
over investment of my family fund in your country.
My name is Judith Halima Makaolou and am here in Cotonou, Republic of Benin
West Africa with my junior brother David and we are from Democratic Republic
of Congo (DRC) but here in Cotonou as a result of the war in my country.
We entered as a result of the war in my country which lead to the death
of my father and mother living me and David alone on earth .
And here in Cotonou, we entered as refugee. I am still a student studying
medicine and David engineering before the out break of the war in my country.
I am 25 years of age and David is 22.
Please we need your assistance and that is why we are writing you now.
My father is a former director of mining in The Democratic Republic of Congo
and he was assassinated by the rebels.
Before the death of my father, he used my brother's name to deposit some
money as his next of kin in a FINANCE SECURITY COMPANY.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT DEPOSITED FOR US IS VALUED AT $9 MILLION DOLLARS.
And my brother is standing as the beneficiary but cannot lay claim because
they do not allow refugees to operate account
in the bank and the finance company has contacted us to come and have our
fund cleared.
Every legal document for the deposit is very safe with us.
All I need from you is to help us get the total money transferred into
your account once we change the beneficiary in your name and favour.
The money is a very large money and we don't know how to manage the fund
or keep it and that is why we are asking you to help us transfer it to your
account oversea or to your account in your country and also manage the money
in partnership with my brother for investment business in your company or
any other place.
WE NEED THE FOLLOWING TO ENABLE CHANGE THE BENEFICIARY IN YOUR FAVOR SO
THAT YOU WILL BE STANDIND AS THE OWNER AND THE FINANCE COMPANY WILL CONTACT
YOU FOR THE TRANSFER;
1.Your full name,
2.Your full house address,
3 Your direct telephone and fax number,
4 A copy of your international passport or lD card for identification to
the finance company.
ONCE WE RECEIVE ALL THIS AND YOUR TELEPHONE ASSURING US YOUR READINESS AND
WILLINGNESS TO HELP US CLEAR AND CLAIM OUR MONEY AND ASSURE US ALSO OF HELPING
US TO INVEST THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
WE WILL CONTACT YOU FOR FURTHER DETAILS AS TO HOW TO MAKE THE CLAIM OF
THE FUND AND ALSO WE WILL SUBMIT FOR THE CHANGE OF THE BENEFICIARY IN YOUR
FAVOR TO ENABLE THE FINANCE COMPANY TO TRANSFER THE MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT
IN YOUR COUNTRY.
We wait your urgent reply.
Thank you.
Best regards,
From Judith Halima and David
