Subject: From United States Former Ambassador to the Republic of Benin!!!
This is MR. PAUL JEFF the Former United States Ambassador to Republic
of Benin, I came down here in Cotonou Benin Republic for an ECOWAS
meeting and I was searching for some files that I left in this office
before I left and found out that you have not received your fund, and
I asked the present ambassador Mr James Knight what happened that you
have not receive your fund and he said that you refused to pay the
required fee for the delivery of your ATM CARD.

I’m contacting you this morning because the director of the ATM CARD
center here in Benin Republic said that they will divert your ATM CARD
to the Government Treasury just because that you cannot pay for the
service fee of your ATM CARD which is $75.00 only according to them.

But I told them to wait until I hear from you today so that I will
know the reason why you rejected such amount of money $2.5 Million
which will change your life just because of $75.00.

I want your urgent response as soon as you receive this email and
explain to me the reason why you have abandoned your ATM CARD because
of $75.00. But if you don’t need it then I can change your name to
another person so that this Government will not claim this money but I
know that you will love to have it.

Please my dear I want to help you to receive this fund because it was
a big shock to me that you have not receive your ATM CARD and withdraw
your money in the past 2 years now and I’m very sorry for that and you
will receive your fund before the end of this meeting which will take
us 4 days and I will be here to monitor it until you receive your
fund.

Please reconfirm your information such is;

Your Full Name========
Your Home Address=====
Your Phone========

MR. PAUL JEFF
United States Former Ambassador to the Republic of Benin
