FROM MRS. PAULA SCHRIEFER

This is to bring to your notice that because of the impossibility of
your fund transfer through the western union network, I am doing all I
can to make sure you receive your funds and I protected your funds for
almost six Months now but I assure you that you still have every
opportunity to claim your entire funds from the United State Embassy
Office Benin Republic (U.S.E.B.R).

I am only trying to help you because of the way the payment was
handled in the past. Secondly, I can not sit and watch you loose your
funds after confiding in me. As a matter of fact, there are still
decent and God fearing people here in the United State Embassy Office
Benin Republic which I am a good example. Since I came to this office
in the year 2013, I have helped so many foreign
Contractors/Beneficiaries from all paths of the world in claiming
their long over due fund from the Benin Government.

If you don't want to conclude these matter before Monday coming week
just inform me today so that I can know what next to do because I
can't just be hearing same story and you will be dealing with people
and sending information's to them and if you can't send the fee then
know that your fund will be canceled and all your efforts so far will
turn useless because I did all I can for my government to protect your
fund and your personality but you won't listen, I can help you if you
help yourself.

If you can be able to come up with 50.00 for the Clearance Paper
today, I will make sure you get your fund tomorrow morning, your fund
is ready to transfer to you as I write to you now due to my effort and
I don't know why you should be dealing with people outside my office,
just do your best and these transfer will be conducted.

Finally if this fund will be terminated and there is no way on earth
you can get this fund because the IMF will just have to cancel your
name from the payment file, its better you conclude these matter
within the given date.

If I receive the fee , I assure you that you are going to confirm your
funds in your Country WITHIN 10HRS through our choosing Diplomatic
Agent. I shall try my possible best to make sure I conclude the due
legal process and will like you to Take my word because i am strong
behind you and my effort to this does not end until you confirm the
availability of your fund in your hands.

Please do not allow any body to deceive you and I expect your response
and I don't want you to be tired of these, just take life easy and see
what the result will be by next Week, I will expect your response and
the fee sent by western union. Just get back to me today with the
details and I promise to release your fund to you, its not easy and I
believe you have tried as well, so make sure you conclude these or
your fund will be terminated by the High Authority and that is all I
can say for now.

Note that your consignment box has arrived in US embassy and is
waiting to receive clearance certificate before the gate pass is
given. Meanwhile you are advise to reconfirm the below information
upon contacting us to avoid delivery to the wrong person.

1, Your full name:
2, Your home address:
3, Your occupation:
4, Direct Telephone Number:


I am expecting the payment information as soon as you can so we can
proceed immediately. Note that you are expected to pay only 50.00 for
clearance certificate and you are to pay it to Benin Republic as the
origination of the consignment box. Send the 50.00 through Western
Union once you receive this mail with the information below for
immediate release of your FUNDS, You can also send gift card such as
Steam Wallet Card or Google Play card of sum US$50 of immediately for
the payment, Or you can send the $50 through Bitcoin Wallet.

RECEVERS:NAME: DANIEL OKECH
