To compensate for your past assistance and commitments,i have dropped
an International Certifie Bank Draft of $500.000.00 for you.


I am in Australia with my family presently.I do intend to establish
some business concerns here,and possibly buy some properties.Contact my
Secretary in Benin-Republic Mr.tony obaino on(tony_obaino77@yahoo.fr) Forward
my mail to him,then ask him to send the cheque to you.


Take good care of your self.
