From:Mr Patrick UkahCotonou Benin Dearest, I got your contact during my search for a reliable, honest and a trust worth person to entrust this huge transfer project with. My name is Mr Patrick Ukah, Branch manager of a financial institution here in Benin. I am from Benin married with four kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of $ 4,550.000.00 Million United States dollars only. This fund is the excess of what my branch in which am the manager made as profit during the 2005 financial year. I have already submitted annual report for that year to my head office here in Benin Cotonou as I have watched with keen interest as they will never know of this excess.I have since, placed this amount of $ 4,550.000.00 Million United States dollars only to an Escrow Coded account without a beneficiary (anonymous) to avoid trace. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account on my behalf. I intend to pay 40% of this fund to you while 60% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your account. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response urgently through my private email address ;mrpatrick_ukah@yahoo.fr With Regards, Mr Patrick Ukah.
