to the confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium, it became
necessary for me to seek your assistance and it is imperative for me to know
your opinion.
In a brief introduction, I am Mr. Joseph K. Ayeh, the Director of Operation
with Financial Bank Cotonou-Benin Republic. I have a very interesting deal
to discuss with you, the deal under discussion has to do with Mr George
C.Hudson a national of your country, who was employed as a
Consultant/contractor with Societe Nationale Des Products D' Agricole

daughter was involved in a plane crash victims with Boe 727-type air plane
belonging to African Transport Union (UTA). In this fatal tragidy with
Beirut-bound flight, 110 persons died and Over 40 others still reported
missing, while 22 passengers survived, you may confirm the event of the air
crash throug,http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3350455.stm or(

Consequently, Mr George C.Hudson made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for
twelve calendar and his account with our Bank accrues to about (Three
Million, Two hundred and Fifty- Two Thousand US Dollars) USDM3.252,000.00.
Hence my decision to contact you so that you and I will go into partnership

this transaction as all I need from you is an assurance that my interest

forward, this fund will be reverted to the government ownnership as
abaundoned treasury if no body applies as his next of kin. Therefore, you as
a foreigner is fully qualified to stand as the next of kin to late Mr George
C.Hudson so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the
hands of some corrupt government officials as the expiration period is at
hand.
Please note that There is no risk at all, my position as the Director of
Operation guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. It is
