THIS IS AN OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF FUNDS DEPOSITED IN YOUR NAME AND IT IS
NOT A SALES SOLICITATION OR SPAM.
We are Diplomats that arrange for the safekeeping of pecial and valuable
packages and baggage in trust for reputable clients that are honest and
trustworthy. We work in collaboration with top firms and Governments of
various ountries as we have earned a name as a service whose hallmarks in
reliability and confidentiality are revered. International missions, Fellow
Diplomats and Embassies of the world have used our services to satisfaction.
A benefactor whose identity can not be disclosed because of the Non
Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement that was signed with the said
benefactor when the funds were being deposited, made you the beneficiary of
a package containing some amount of money and stated clearly that you
should only be contacted when the time signed for it to be in our care
elapses and the time has already elapsed that is why you are being
contacted.
The Non Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement signed with the
benefactor mandates us to fully divulge and disclose the benefactor's
identity 18 months after you, the beneficiary, has received the funds. The
funds totals $4.5M (Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand .S.Dollars)and we
confirm that these funds are fully free of any liens, or encumbrances and
are clean, clear and non-criminal origin and are available in the form of
CASH.

erification with information contained in our computer database as well as
other relevant information in the format stated below so that the funds
would be arranged to be brought to your Country of residence by Diplomats
who would accompany you to your bank (if you want them to) to deposit the
funds in your name and submit all documentations of proof of the origin of
the funds in other to exonerate yo! u from a ny form of investigations or
interrogation and to authenticate the fact that the funds are clean and
has no links whatsoever with either drugs or terrorism.

the Diplomats before the funds would be handed over to you so as to ensure
that the package is handed over to the right person.

Mobile or Cell Phone Number. Complete the above and send back to me as soon
