Dear Sir/Madam
This is to congratulate you and officially inform you that your over due payment of US$15 Million has been approved for immediate payment by direct cash delivery in your country.
This new method of payment was personal approved by the Presidency because of the fraudulent practices going on in our Apex Bank and most of our Global Payment Centers which have faied to carry out their duties effectively.
All you need to do now is to forward immediately your delivery address, direct phone number and fax number.
Before the departure of your consignment, we shall process and deliver your fund ownership certificate which will prove that you are the rightful beneficiary of the fund, it will also clear you from tax payment on your contract fund upon the arrival of the cargo.
Note, our commercial Attache / Diplomat will contact you upon the arrival of your consignment before the delivery to your contact address where you will sign the recipient invoice and produce your identification before they hand over your cargo to you.
Thanks,
Yours faithfully,
Ghanem Ahmed (Dr),
Director,Foreign Operation
