Sir/Madam,
It is based on the information and recommendation satisfactorily gathered concerning you/your company that I have decided to discuss this project with you. Please note that my contacting you is to enable us talk and to establish trust which I feel would be the basis of our cooperation.
My Name is Mr. Aimét DGIGLA, Head of Contract Payment Committee. My Committee is responsible for processing of contract payments on completed projects. This information which I am about to disclosed to you is very confidential, read carefully and get back to me for details.
It is about a Contracting Company here in Benin owned by a Foreign Contractor who has an unpaid contract fund Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand Euro only, for supply and installation of Industrial Equipments to the Benin Mines & Energy Industry .This contract project was completed in November. 2003 But unfortunately the contractor, His wife and the only child died in a plane crash before the contract payment was approved. See details of the plane crash from any of the below Website;

Upon receipt of the completion report from the site inspectors, My office secured the release of the fund and subsequently, the fund were deposited in one of the Financial Company here in our Country in the name of the contractor/firm. But since 2004, the fund was deposited, I have been expecting any of deceasedâs relatives to come for the claim but till today, no body has shown up, so from all indications, none of his relatives is aware of this fund. This is a top secret and no other person here know about this, everyone believes that the deceased contractor has received his contract fund.
It is on this note that I decided to contact you to use my position to recommend you as the business partner to the deceased, so that this fund will be released to you and you will have Forty percent, while Sixty percent will be for me.
There is no risk involved and all documents to facilitate the smooth conclusion of this transaction are legitimate and officially in order. I will give you details when I hear from you. In your reply, include your full names, address, private tel/fax numbers if any.
Thank you.
Mr. Aimét DGIGLA
