Dear Beneficiary,

This message will not be completed if I fail to introduce myself. I am Mr. Richard D. French .I am an Expatriate and Foreign Consultant from Canada who was hired by ECOWAS organization to assist to implementation ECO CURRENCY initiative. ECO Currency Initiative is an agreed joint common currency to be used by all ECOWAS members states like Euros. This project has commenced and I am handling it for ECOWAS
The ECOWAS states also agreed that as a means to raise needed funds to handle this because most member countries are very poor so an initiative was lunch to declare every unclaimed funds as a bad debt should the owner fails to settle any pending requirement for express receipt and the said unclaimed fund should be tagged abandoned and reverted into various ECOWAS Suspense accounts and the recovered money used for this project. As Foreign consultant, I made them know that every beneficiary whose name are marked 'X' should be contacted and giving final opportunity and whereby the beneficiary fails,we shall no longer be liable to the confiscation of such abandoned claim.
Our second year auditing is going to start and according to the bilateral agreement of ECOWAS with all members countries,every fund on red alert will be taken over after this week if the beneficiary did not close the gap as a means to raise the needed funds to implement the joint currency programme which I have been hired to assist to implement.
We want to under take your remittance directly due to discrepancies ,controversies and a lot of abnormalities uncovered so that there will be no more delay and encumbrances in crediting your account between now and next week including any external interference. This special arrangement and decision was completed last week and the implementation will be done once you get back with requirement.

You need to send the fees to enable my office secure the foreign allocation and exchange needed for your receipt and you need to confirm your account details ,Id,address and telephone clearly here too.
