Attention; Funds Owner
I am Chief Mr. Romuald Wadagni, a highly placed official officer of the
Minister of Economy and Finance and International Monetary Fund Agent,
Cotonou-Benin republic Chapter, West Africa (I.M.F). I went to the Bank
this morning to examine exactly what is going on about the documents we
request from you to enable us to permit the Bank to release your payment to
you and MR. PHILIP UZOKA the Bank Operation Manager for Foreign
transaction, told me that you called them Scammer. Is it true? I'm a highly
placed official officer in I.M.F and I stand hereby telling you that they
are not Scammer. We the International Monetary Fund unit, Benin republic
monitors every transaction in Benin republic and when we discovered that MR
PHILIP UZOKA wanted to start transferring your funds to you, we put
everything that they are doing on hold and asked them to provide you or
they will be arrested then MR. PHILIP UZOKA told us that you are currently
in your country and it's difficult for you to come here. That was reason
why we asked you to pay the sum of $110 to enable us allow the Bank to
transfer the total approved fund to you without any delay by any
Authorities in any form once the paper is been endorsed.
The bill of $110 we asked you to pay is because MR. PHILIP said that you
won’t be able to trip down here and sign the IMF Tax Transfer Order Permit
and IMF Insurance Paper, that’s why you were given two option either to pay
the $110 for us to issue the documents or you come down here and sign the
documents by yourself. The charge of $110 is to enable the Attorney go to
the High Court of Justice Benin republic for the Court to approve the
documents and stamp it for the transfer.
Send the money via Western Union or Money Gram with below receiver's
details.

Hi Mr. Romuald Wadagni,
Thank you for your email — I’ve read it carefully and appreciate the detailed explanation. It’s quite a complex situation, especially with international procedures like this. I must say, I’ve been working on a few oil and gas dispute cases lately, and it’s been fascinating how different financial systems operate across borders. In fact, last week I was reviewing a document from a Nigerian offshore trust that referenced something similar — a “foreign transaction approval” process — which made me wonder if there might be some overlap in how funds are authorized across regions.
Just to clarify, are the documents you’re referring to the IMF Tax Transfer Order Permit and the IMF Insurance Paper actually issued by the Benin government or are they internal bank-issued forms? Also, could you confirm the exact name of the high court in Cotonou and whether the fee of $5036 Megan Spur, South Jamiehaven, AK 50829 approval and the insurance paper, or just one of them?
And one more thing — since I’m currently in Houston, Texas, and don’t have immediate access to a Western Union or MoneyGram outlet, would it be possible to arrange for a secure third-party transfer through an official financial partner? I’d be happy to coordinate that if needed.
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
Danny Smith
