Beloved,
I am Rev.Peter Clark , a senior staff with the World Bank fact finding & special
duties office here in Dakar Senegal. I am writing you this letter base on the
fact that cool penny is better than millions, it’s better for one to live and die
poor honest man than a rich dishonest one. I and the Chief Security Officer (CSO)
of this organization have arranged with an officer in the computer section in
person of Engineer Diop to bring out part of your total pending payment with
reference number (WB/IMF-3SG-371)amounting to US$10M.
We did this base on the information gathered from the banks/security data that
you have been waiting for a long time to receive this payment with out success.
The data also indicated that you’ve almost met all the statutory requirements in
respect of your pending payment but your problem is that of interest groups
within the Parastatals
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 kind of untrue
emails, faxes and phone messages from different people everyday. Also we found
out that some of the officials within the parastatals have been extorting a lot
of money from you with the pretext of helping you receive your money. I can
assure you that this endless demand will keep on if you do not do away or stop
your dealings with such officers.
The said payment is been arranged in a security-proof box weighing 60kg and in
order to get this box shipped to you, I and the (CSO) have visited four courier
companies DHL, EMS, FedEx and UPS to make arrangements on how to get the box
shipped to you by secure courier services, the said courier companies made us to
understand that they will have to open the box for inspection by the customs
before shipment. This is something 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 buttons and de-activate 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. We
told the courier services that the box contained film materials and when open
will damage the materials. NOTE: we did not declare money because courier does
not carry money.
Today a friend of mine,a diplomat who works with the United Nation (UN) office in
America disclosed to me that there is a courier company that specialized in
handling diplomatic materials for the UN which has diplomatic immunity and
consignment such as this cannot be checked by any customs anywhere in the world.
I met with the officials of the Courier Company and we've concluded shipments
arrangement with them, which they will commence as soon as I have your go ahead
order.
The diplomats that will deliver this box to you is an expact and has professional
record for so many years now so we have nothing to worry about. After all the
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 the courier company.
Please maintain top most secrecy as it may cause a lot of problems if found out
that we are using this way to help you. You are advised not to inform anyone
about this until you received your money.I Am helping you on this because
something in me tells me that you are an honest person. When we conclude this and
you send the donation, we will help to ship the final part of your money to you.
May God be with you and your family as I await your response either through reply
email or by urgent phone call that you received my mail
Yours Truly
Revd. Father Peter Clark
Director , Special Duties. UNO/WBF
