office this morning because the director of the United Bank For Africa
(U.B.A) here in Benin Republic said that they have uploaded your
inheritance fund worth ($10,800,000,00) into a new Visa Card but since
then they have not heard from you, so the case was brought to my
office in a view to Cancel your fund and divert it into government
treasuries account, because of your sudden silence to comply with
delivery terms and conditions. Then, I asked what are the conditions
but i was told that you are been required to pay the delivery charges
cost $50 but i told him to wait because there is no need to cancel the
payment because of ordinary that i will do my very possible best to
bring the issue to conclusion since it has been brought to my office.

To the best of my knowledge, i found out that this fund is legitimate
and i advise you should send the delivery charges cost $50 to ship
your Visa Card that contains your inheritance fund that worth ten
Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only
