It must be legit. The Republic of Benin is a small poor country in West Africa that doesn't have that kind of money to throw around. I've never heard of the Federal Republic of Benin, but they're clearly a much richer and more generous country with so much
Money they need to share it.

how is it western union isn't forced to put practices into place that make this sort of thing impossible to perpetrate?

I wonder what the response % is ? How many emails are sent out and how many fall for it ??
I remember, years ago when my friend was sure Bill Gates going to send him $300 just for forwarding an email. There is a sucker born every minute.

With my luck, I'd have the winning numbers and no way to buy a ticket.

LOL! Actually, there is a funny true story about that. One of the lotteries (powerball? Can't remember) had an unusually high number of $100,000 winners. Winners scattered over many states. Investigation traced it back to the fortune cookie company in New York. How did the cookie company pick numbers? They had somebody draw them from a hat...

(edit) Did a search..

... I expect any time now. I've already made a down payment on a new 60' yacht. Sorry to hear about the IRS of Amerika tax troubles

Federal Republic of Benin is solid, not like some ridiculous Nigerian scam, right?

I am closing my email account and opening A Gmail . They will never find me at my new G address. And if they do, the IRS of Amerika will never take me alive.
