Dear Friend,
We are Diplomatic security Corps that hold special and valuable consignments
for reputable clients that are honest and trustworthy. We work in
collaboration with top firms all over the world as we have earned a name as
a service whose hallmarks in reliability and confidentiality are revered
.International missions, Diplomats, Embassies of the world have used our
services to satisfaction.
A benefactor from Zimbabwe has mandated me to get someone that can assist
her and her family in retrieving her package containing some amount of money
from a Diplomatic vault/warehouse 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 of this,
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 six years
and it’s USD7.5M (Seven Million five Hundred U.S. dollars).
These funds are fully free of any liens, or encumbrances and are clean,
clear and has 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 have no links whatsoever with either drugs or terrorism.
For your assistance in this transaction, the benefactor and her Children
have agreed to give you 15% of the total amount of money this role simply
entails retrieving the funds on their behalf from the Diplomatic
vault/warehouse 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.
1) Your Full Name: __________________________
2) Your Address:_______________________________
3) Your Telephone Number:________________________
4) Your Fax Number: __________________________
5) Your Mobile Number:_____________________________
