Hello,
Good day to you. I have been waiting for you since to come down here and pick your bank draft but did not hear from you since that time then I went and deposited the Draft with Banque Atlantique Plc here in Benin Republic,because I travelled to South America to see my boss and will not come back till end of my leave. I have arranged with them to make your payment to you with their new ATM MASTER CARD which you can use to withdraw your money in any ATM MACHINE around the globe. You have to contact the Atlantique
Bank Plc with your full contact informations such as follows.
1. FULL NAME
2. ADDRESS WHERE YOU WANT THEM TO SEND THE ATM CARD
3 PHONE AND FAX NUMBER
4. YOUR AGE AND CURRENT OCCUPATION
5. ATTACH COPY OF YOUR IDENTIFICATION
However, Kindly contact the below person who is in position to release your
ATM CARD.
MR. DENNIS EZEH
DIRECTOR,
ATM PAYMENT DEPARTMENT
BAN QUE ATLANTIQUE DU BENIN
EMAIL: atmcardatm@live.fr
I have paid for the processing and delivery charges.The only money that you are going to pay to them is only $96 US Dollars which they will use to obtain the Affidavit Of Ownership from the Federal High Court of Benin Republic. Try to contact them as soon as possible to hasten the processing of your card before your draft gets expired . Let me know as soon as you receive your card.Thanks and God Bless
