Attn: Mrs. Sarah Thomas,

Sorry to have addressed you as Mr. Leo Diao. Although we lost almost all
the vital information's in our Data Base/Computer System including our
Back-Up Systems due to the Fire Out-Break we encountered in our banking
hall six months ago and right now we really don't have authentic records of
our customers again. But I believe you are the rightful owner of the
deposited money because I was able to trace and I retrieve back your e-mail
address of [email protected] <[email protected]> and I want to believe
you are the owner of the e-mail since you could respond back to me through
the same e-mail and this shows and stand as an evidence that indeed you are
the real owner of the $1,258,000.00 (One Million Two Hundred And Fifty
Eight Thousand Dollars).

​​​​​​​Your mail received.

After your mail dated February 15TH, 2018 It took you this long before
contacting us for your balance payment.

This means we will no longer use the account we used in transferring the
first part payment of $962,000 to you.Therefore go ahead and send another
account or an address to receive the money via a Classified Cashier Check
through DHL.

As you already know the $1,258,000.00 will be the balance contract sum
payment paid into our bank the- ECO BANK on your behalf by your business
associates the (Shengie Construction Company) SCC in CHINA. But before I
can possible proceed with the transfer of the money I will want you to
resend to me the "SCC Notification Memo". Protocol require I present the
document to the Director of our bank to sign the Money Release Form "MRF"
for the release of your contract sum payment to you. According to the
record in our file, it was stated therein that the document- "SCC
Notification Memo" was fax to your fax machine on the 19TH December 2017 by
my predecessor whom I took over from in person of Mrs. Sumaira Hussain. So
go ahead and send the document to me. Secondly, I don't want to believe I
have contacted the wrong person which is you OR dealing with one of those
fraudulent internet scammer's who goes around sending all forms of fake
business proposals to innocent people like us.

Finally, go ahead and send me your account details to receive your contract
sum payment or an address to receive the money via a Classified Cashier
Check through DHL. Please do not fail also to send the "SCC Notification
Memo" .
Sincerely,
Mrs.Tonia Fowler

Attn: Mr. Leo Diao,

This is to acknowledge your mail dated February 15TH, 2018.

I tried to wire the $1,258,000.00 into the account you provided but our
bank record reveal that your company has not paid the transfer charges of
$82. Secondly, after activating the account I noticed it has an error;
meaning that the money can not penetrate into the account. Check the
account to correct the error.

Here is the account;

*WIRE-CARD BANKLEIBZIG-GERMANYBANK SWIFT/ ROUTING NUMBER: WIREDEMMXXX--
51230800ACCOUNT NUMBER: 0021181120SORTIERCODE / LEITZAHL: DE88 5123 0800
0021 1811 20*

Now I have activated the wiring of the money and placed it on a deferred
schedule in our computer system in ECO-BANK here in the Republic Of Benin.
Therefore, within the next few days the money will be transferred once you
correct the error on the account or you provide another account. Better
still, do you prefer I send the money via Certified Cashier Cheque to you
through DHL. If that is the case, then send me an address where the cheque
will be delivered to. Please suggest.

With the above information, the whole exercise will take me approximately
72-hours to get it done

Sincerely,
Mr. Rajiv Khana

Attn: Mr. Samuel Thomas,

Sorry again for responding back to your mail this late. Is just that I
traveled to our neighboring country GHANA for an official assignment on
behalf of my bank the ECO-BANK. I came back to my base today the 28TH July
2018.

As regards your mail I seems not to understand what you mean by asking me
if I should go into more detail about our main product. For your
information we don't sale, buy or advertise any form of product. We are
just a bank. If not for the fact that I was able to trace and retrieve back
your e-mail address of [email protected] of cause I would have suggested
that I have contacted the wrong person which is you but I know you are not
the wrong person.

I said that you should send another account to receive your contract sum
payment because the previous account you send has an error. Or better still
send an address to receive your money via Classified Cashier Check through
DHL. This is all that is required of you instead of asking me those
unreasonable questions like someone who is confused or out of his mind.

So let me get the info to make the transfer.

Sincerely,
Mr. Rajiv Khana
