Subject: RE:YOUR PAYMENT NOTICE!
FROM: OFFICE OF Rev.Fr. MARTYN DAVID DIRECTOR,
SPECIAL DUTIES UNITED NATIONS, IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND,WORLD BANK
SPECIAL DUTIES OFFICE DAKAR, SENEGAL. TEL: +221-440-9966
Dear Friend,
Please confirm your receipt of this mail because previous correspondence
have been sent to you but we did not get any response from you. I am Rev.Fr.
Martyn David, a senior staff with the UN special duties office ;my office
monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions. I
have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some
nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost
accounts, unclaimed deposits or over-invoiced sum etc. I have the
opportunity to write you based on the instructions among others i received
days ago from the officer in the computer section in person of Engineer
Peter Cliff,to bring out part of your total pending payment with reference
number (LB-05-379) amounting US$10million. The (Ten Million Dollars) is
arranged in a security-proof box weighing 75kg. In order to get the box
shipped to you.
A lot of people are interested in your payment and those people are merely
doing paper works with you and that explains why you receive different kinds
of untrue fax and phone messages from different people everyday. As I found
out that you have almost met all the statutory requirements in respect of
your pending payment. Also we found out that some of the officials of the
parastatals have been extorting money from you with the pretext of helping
you receive your money. I can assure you this will keep happening if you do
not do away with those officers.I am the final signatory to any transfer or
remittance of huge funds moving within banks both on the local and
international levels.
A friend of mine who is a diplomat disclosed to me that there is a security
courier service company that is specialized in sending diplomatic materials
and information from one country to another, with diplomatic immunity and
consignment such as this cannot be checked by any customs anywhere in the
world unlike Dhl, Ems, FedEx and Ups because, they will have to open the box
for inspection by the customs before shipment.
This is what we want to avoid because this box is been padded with synthetic
nylon and to open it you will have to cut the pad before you will meet the
button that you will press to open the dial code-lock. There is no way you
can open the box and be able to close it again because it was padded with
machine. I have therefore met the official of the security courier service
and concluded shipping arrangement with them, which they will commence as
soon as I have your go ahead order. The diplomat will bring the consignment
to you,he has been in this line of work for many years now; so you have
nothing to worry about.
I am conditionally prepared to assist you get the money, practically after
studying the part leading to this particular stage in the payment process in
connivance with your local collaborators to conceal the authentic source of
the funds.And my only condition for this unusual assistance is after all
arrangements we have concluded that you must donate Five Hundred Thousand
United States dollars (US$500,000.00) to any charity organization I
designate as soon as you receive your money.
To this effect, you will send to us a promissory note for the donation along
with your address where you will like the box to be delivered to by courier.
May almighty God bless you, Please maintain topmost secrecy as it may cause
a lot of problems if found out that we are using this way to help you until
you received your money. When you conclude this we will help to ship the
final part of your money to you.
Yours Faithfully,
Rev. Fr. Martyn David.
Director, Special Duties.UN/BF
