Subject: YOUR PENDING PAYMENT
Special duties reference
**UNO/WBF LM-05-371**
**ORDERING CONTRACTOR:
UNO/WBF SG
DIPLOMATIC BOX 75KG
Dear Sir/Ma,
I am Reverend Father Ronald Eckert, a senior staff with the World Bank fact
finding & special duties office. I am writing you this letter based on the
fact that cool penny is better than millions of dollars means it's better
for
one to live and die poor honest man than a rich dishonest one.
The World Bank Group, Fact Finding & Special Duties office In conjunction
with
the United Nations Organization, has received part of your pending payment
with reference number (LM-05-371) amounting to (Twenty Million United State
Dollars) out of your
contractual/inheritance funds from our ordering contractor Bank quoting
reference to UNO/WBF LM-05-371, the said payment is been arranged in a
Security-proof box weighing 110kg padded with synthetic nylon.
According to information gathered from the bank's security computer we were
notified that you have waited for so long to receive this payment without
success, we also confirmed that you have met all statutory requirements in
respect of your pending payment. You are therefore advised to contact our
Payment Clearance Department to obtain necessary information to the Security
courier service company that is specialized in sending diplomatic materials
and information from one country to another, which also has diplomatic
immunity to carry such consignment (Box)
This office has met with this Security courier service and concluded
shipping
arrangement with them, therefore shipment will commence as soon as we have
your go ahead order. The diplomat who will be bringing in this Consignment
(Box) to you is an
expert and has been in this line of work for many years now, so you have
nothing to worry about. After all arrangements we
have concluded that you must donate (Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) to a charity organization we will designate
to you as soon as you receive your money.
To this effect, in your response you should send to us a promissory note
promising to donate the stated amount and also with your address where you
will like the Box to be delivered. Please maintain topmost secrecy as it may
cause a lot of problems if found out that we are using this media to help
you.
You are not to inform anyone about this until you receive your money. The
above requirement qualifies you for final remittance process of the received
sum.
Confirm message granted
Congratulations.
Best Regards,
Rev Fr. Ronald Eckert
Director, Special Duties. UNO/WBF
