Dear Sir,

We advice you to forward to this department your home address where you want the consignment to be delivered and your telephone number, and also your International Passport or Drivers' License for Identification.
As soon as we receive this information required the consignment briefcase of $2.5m will be forwarded to you immediately and the date of our officer arriving will be given to you.
We wait your reply.
