Good Day,

I have deposited your check of US$2.4Million Two Million Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars to the Western Union Office Benin Republic. All you have to do is to contact them at (www.westernuunion207@gmail.com) so they will give you direction on how you will be receiving your payment daily. My agreement with them is $20,000 daily until the whole of US$2.4Million is transferred complete.

You are not expected to pay for the transfer fee or any process fee because all the fee is already deducted from the funds The only fee you will send to them before the transfer is activation fee which i did not know the amount. when you contact the Western Union office Benin, try to ask them how much is the activation fee.
