We are Diplomats that use our immunity and status to safekeep special
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 countries 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 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 Corps. The benefactor have been confined only to their
country home and all their calls and movements are monitored, as a
result, its absolutely impossible for them to do anything as regards
retrieving the money.
You are being contacted because your assistance is needed in claiming
the funds on her behalf. In order to clear any misgivings or doubts that
you may have, it is imperative that I give you an insight of who the
benefactor is. I do not know how conversant you are with events and the
fragile political situation in Africa but it has made consistent headlines on
CNN, BBC and several news bulletins around the world. The benefactor is
Mrs Sharma Adenuga, a widow to Late Chief Martins Adenuga. Who her
late husband and her only son were killed during the Ogoni Crisis some
years back.
She inherited the money from her late husband who was an industrialist
and international businessman. The amount in question is $38 .6M (Thirty
Eight Million, Six Hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) and 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.
For your assistance in this transaction, the benefactor have agreed to
give you 25% of the total amount of money for your role in this
transaction which involves retrieving the funds on her behalf from the
Diplomats and all the information needed to claim the funds would be
sent to you as soon as you indicate your interest in assisting her as well
as providing your full contact information to facilitate the smooth
conclusion of the transaction such as:
Your Full Name:
Your contact address:
Telephone Number:
Fax Number:
I await your response.
Thanks,
