From Dr. NELSON TUTTLE. Cotonou , Republic of Benin E-mail: nelstuttle4578@yahoo.ca Attn: Sir, Complements of the season. I am Dr. NELSON TUTTLE Chief Accountant with the River Basin Authority and Chairman Contract award and appraisal committee. I want to solicit your assistance in this regards. In my ministry as Chairman of the contract award committee, there are some over-invoiced sum of money from contracts which we deliberately over inflated. The original contractor has since been fully paid of their contract sum, leaving behind the over inflated sum of $ 8,000,000 million dollarS United States Dollars). Mark up This amount is now floating in our reserved account. I am therefore soliciting for your kind assistance to provide an account into which this amount can be transfered. Myself as a Civil servant, it is against the code of conduct bureau in my country for a civil servant to operate foreign account. We can use your existing account,private or company's account,or you open a new account, Hence, I am asking you to provide an account that will accommodate this funds. The information needed for the smooth running of this deal is listed bellow: 1. Your Bank Name and Address 2 Your Bank Account Number 3 The Name of the Beneficiary of the Account , and if there is any sorting codes for your account please give details. Upon receipt of your bank particulars, the transaction will be concluded within 10 banking working days. We have unanimously agreed to give you 20% of the total sum for providing an account into which the money will be credited and 10% will be set aside for bank taxes and other miscellaneous expenses that will be incurred by both sides in the course of the transfer of the money and the remaining 70% is for me and members of the committee. I will send my wife and one official to come to your country to take care of our share as soon as remittance of the money is effected. This is the area where your assistance will be highly needed, as they cannot come back to my country with physical cash. The greater part of our share will be invested on importation of building materials,and i will lik to go into hotel business by buying houses from Real Estate Agents,importation of general goods,or as you may advise under your watchful supervision. This transaction is 100% risk free as all the modalities has been carefully worked out.

Please be honest. Note: This transaction is not subject to broad discussion with anybody no matter how close the person is to you because of the integrity of the officials that are involved here. You should not even inform your bank yet that you are expecting money from Cotonou as the money will first be transfered to our correspondence bank in Europe for further crediting to your designated bank account. Please keep to this warning. If this amount is too much to be transfered to your bank account at once i.e if your account cannot carry so much money at once, please indicate how much that your account can take.We can then transfer it in bits.
