Attention;
This is Mr. Michael Toure, The Secretary of the Treasury for
International Affairs is a senior position within the Benin Republic
Department of the Treasury Federal Ministry of Finance on
international wire transfers. You are to reply through this my
official email address.([email protected] ) because
this is to inform you that your fund was brought to my desk because
the director & management of the WESTERN UNION &MONEYGRAM transfer
have declared to divert your fund to the government treasury account
just because you can not pay the wire transfer fee. In reasoning
wisely to this complain I told them to wait until I heard from you
today so that I will know the reason why you decide to reject such
amount of money USD$2.5Million which is your righful & legal overdue
inheritance payment just because of transfer fee.
The reason why i sent this email to you is because its your sweat and
for this reason you still have this last chance to claim your fund if
you can send USD$78.00 today because i have already arranged your
wires ready for its daily wires to you but failling to do this, i will
allow them to have power over your fund and am very sorry if you
failed as this is the last chance.
Therefore, send the USD$78.00 immediately you receive this email
today and email your full name and address to me if you want your
USD$2.5Million be send to you by western union OR Monegram transfer
but the maximum amount officially allow for it per day wire to you is
USD$7,500.00 per day until you receive your complete USD$2.5Million
from here . The second option is for you to send me the full detail of
your bank account if you want your fund be fully transfer by direct
bank to bank wire transfer to your account at once. After you have
sent the $78.00 and email me the mtcn numbers, you are to indicate
your wish to receive your funds as I have stated above and the funds
will be released to you without any hitch.
Here is the western union or moneygram information in the name of my
accountant to avoid delay in receiving your fund and remember that i
have done my best for you and i will make sure that your wire will
begin to be released to you from the moment you sent this $78.00 .
