Subject: RELEASE OF YOUR UNPAID COMPENSATION FUNDS

Hello Dear Beneficiary,

I am Brian Wesley Shukan, the newly appointed United States Ambassador

to Benin. After successful tenure and service in Sudan,  President Joe

Biden nominated me to be the next United States Ambassador to Benin

due to my committed effort to the service. After the Senate Foreign

Relations Committee held hearings on my nomination, I was confirmed

and sent to take over activities here in the U.S Embassy Cotonou,

Benin on May 5, 2022.

I am not happy with what I discovered here at the embassy. Upon my

resumption, I have noticed numerous unpaid scam victims compensation

funds belonging to several beneficiaries. The past administration of

the embassy did not do enough to disseminate these funds to the

rightful  owners. I understand that this may be due to corruption in

the system which I stand against. I have personally swore to deliver

these funds to the beneficiaries with immediate

The United Nations in agreement with the United States ordered

Benin-Republic to pay a compensation amount of $3M USD to each scam

victim for what they suffered in the name of their country, but so

far, not a good number of people have been paid. A Lot of

beneficiaries have not gotten their payments and the authorities are

sitting on it. I have made it a point of duty to personally see to the

disbursement of these funds to the rightful owners and it's on this

note that I decided to contact you for the release of your

compensation funds to you.

Kindly re-confirm the following

1. Name:

2. Address:

3. Phone:

4. Occupation:

5. Age:

6. Country:

7: How much you lost to the impostors:

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours in Duty

Ambassador Brian Wesley Shukan
