Kindly re-confirm to me the followings:

3) Name, Position and Address.
4)Profession, Age and Marital Status.
5) Working Identity Card/Int'lPassport.

As soon as the above mentioned details are received, your payment will be made to you via diplomatic courier delivery in accordance to World Bank and IMF recommendations. A diplomat with international travel immunity will be contracted to deliver the funds at your doorstep.
Yours Faithfully,
