FROM THE DESK OF
MR.CHUKWU
cemac Bank of africa plc.
(bank for International Settlement)
headquarters complex cotonou,
republic of benin.
Dear sir
MY NAME IS MR.chukwu
contact with this email chukwu5_ok@yahoo.com.sg
Iam the head of Operations cemac Bank of africa plc.
Sometime in 1986, a certain man Mr.kelly smith brought
a luggage marked family treasure to me for
safe-keeping in our bank. I met the man in 1980 in
America and he introduced himself as a SHIP CAPTAIN.
We became intimate more when he realized my
profession,there and then, he informed me about
the consignment. However, I did not take it so serious
not until he brought the box to my office.I assisted
him in depositing the treasure and CERTIFICATE OF
DEPOSIT issued to him.However,he saw me as someone
trustworthy and decided
to hand-over the document to me for safe-keeping. He
left back to his country,though he is always on the
Sea being a Sailor.
All our correspondence was through telephone.Our
discussion stopped since last year when I called his
telephone number, and behold someone else had bought
over the telephone. the new subscriber told me that
Mr. kelly smith died along-side, his wife and only two
children at the World Trade Centre
during the BIN-LADEN bomb blast, in America. This news
shocked me so much that MR. kelly smith did not leave
any of his contact address or next of kin,and since
then all plans to trace any of his relatives proved
abortive.
Honestly, I became confused, and resorted to informing
my colleague in the office, who suggested that we
should open the box a little to know the content
proper.
The box was carefully opened and GUESS WHAT? BILLS OF
ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS UNITED STATE DOLLARS, denomination
carefully defaced. I and my colleague agreed and
secretly took the box out from the bank and deposited
it with a security company here. We have concluded
plans to invest the money total eight million
united staed dollars $30m(USD) out of cotonou republic
of benin and required an assistance from a Would-be
Trustworthy Over-Seas Partner who will help us receive
the money overseas.
If you can assist us, we can arrange and bring the
money to your country by the help of Diplomats, for
investment. I and my colleague has agreed to give you
30% of the total sum. Be rest-assured that the
transaction is 100% risk-free and your urgent response
is highly needed.
So we cannot look for another person.

Best regards,
Mr.CHUKWU OBA
