Consignment Package (Trunk Box) which after careful scrutiny contains the
sum of $1,650,000.00 (One Million, Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand United

Revenue's Board brought to this Company to be delivered to you and before
protocol commenced we had a dispute with the Insurance Firm about the
Insurance Policy on the consignment which was later settled.
We are happy to inform you that your Consignment Package is among the 24
packages listed for immediate dispatch which is now in our office and also
with your name as
the receiver despite that we lost your residential address and we request
that you re-confirm it with our office for safe delivery of your consignment
without hesitation.
We would also like you to know that you would be taking care of the Delivery
Charge of $225. The only fee paid by the Ministry Board was the Demurrage
fee.Send the following details highlighted below for reconfirmation:
