valuable packages and baggage in trust for reputable clients that

countries as we have earned a name as a service whose hallmarks in
reliability and confidentiality are revered. International missions,
Fellow Diplomats and Embassies of the world have used our services
to satisfaction.
A benefactor whose identity can not be disclosed because of the Non
Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement that was signed with the
said benefactor when the funds were being deposited, made you the
beneficiary of a package containing some amount of money and stated
clearly that you should only be contacted when the time signed for
it to be in our care elapses and the time has already elapsed that
is why you are being contacted.
The Non Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement signed with the
benefactor mandates us to fully divulge and disclose the
benefactor's identity 18 months after you, the beneficiary, has
received the funds.The funds totals $7.5M (Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) and we confirm that these funds are fully free of any liens, or encumbrances and are clean, clear and non-criminal origin

that the funds would be arranged to be brought to your Country of
residence by Diplomats who would accompany you to your bank (if you
want them to) to deposit the funds in your name and submit all
documentations of proof of the origin of the funds in other
to exonerate you from any form of investigations or interrogation
and to authenticate the fact that the funds are clean and has no

Complete the above and send back to me as soon as possible.
