We are Diplomatic Corp that holds special and valuable consignments for

A benefactor has mandated me to get someone that can assist her and her
family in retrieving her package containing some amount of money from a
Global Financial Trust Company in Europe. The benefactor and her children
have been confined only to their country home and all their calls and
movements are monitored, as a result, it's absolutely impossible for them to
do anything as regards retrieving the money. Their only means of
communication is via Internet and you are being contacted because your
assistance is needed in claiming the funds on their behalf.
The amount was accrued from Diamond sales over a period of ten years and its
50M Pounds ( Fifty Million Pounds). These funds are fully free of any liens,
or encumbrances and are clean, clear and have no criminal origin. The funds
have nothing to do with any form of illegality and all documentations needed
to prove the source of the funds were submitted when the funds were being
deposited and these documents would prove the source of the funds and
authenticate the fact that the funds are clean and has no links whatsoever
with either drugs or terrorism.
For your assistance in this transaction, the benefactor and her Children
have agreed to give you 45% of the total amount of money which is equivalent
to 22.5M Pounds (Twenty two Million, Five hundred Thousand, Pounds) and this
role simply entails retrieving the funds on their behalf from the Diplomats
in Europe and all the information needed to claim the funds would be sent to
you as soon as you indicate your interest in assisting them as well as
providing the following information to facilitate The smooth conclusion of
the transaction.
