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 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 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 $7.5M (Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.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.
You are hereby advised to reconfirm your Full Contact Information for
verification 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 you from any 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 Requested Information is to ensure that no mistake or error is made
and it should be forwarded
in the manner stated below:
Your Full Name: ___________________________
Your Complete Address (Physical Address with Zip Code) :______________________________
Name of City of Residence: ____________________
Name of Closest Airport to City of Residence:___________________________
Date of Birth (Day/Month/Year):____________________
Direct Telephone Number: ____________________________
Mobile Number:_______________________________________
Fax Number:____________________________________
The Contact Numbers are very necessary because the number would be called
by 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.
Complete the above and send back to (laura_doraclaimagent@yahoo.com) as soon as possible.
Congratulations in advance.
Thank you and I sincerely remain
Vincent White
