DIRECTOR SPECIAL DUTIES, UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
WORLD BANK FACT-FINDING & SPECIAL DUTIES OFFICE
DAKAR,SENEGAL.
EMAIL:r_peterclark@katamail.com
Beloved,
I am Rev. Fr. Peter Clark, a senior staff with the World Bank fact
finding & special duties office. I am writing you This letter base 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. I
and the Chief security officer (CSO) of this organization and have
arranged with an officer in the computer
section in person of Engineer Peter Cliff to bring out part of your
total pending payment with reference number (LM-05-371)amounting to US$10
million.
Why we did this is because according to the information gathered from
the banks/security computer, you have been waiting for a long time to
receive this payment with out success. As I found out that you have
almost met all the statutory requirements in respect of your pending
payment. The problem we
feel you are having is that of interest groups.
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 kinds of untrue fax and phone messages from different people
everyday. Also we found out that some of the officials of the parastatals
have been extorting a lot of money
from you with the pretext of helping you receive your money. I can
assure you this will keep happening if you do not do away with those
officers. For security reasons you do not have to tell anybody that your have
your payment on the way until the payment gets to you.
The said payment is been arranged in a security-proof box weighing
75kg. In order to get this box shipped to you I and the (CSO) Yesterday we
went to this four courier companies Dhl, Ems, FedEx and Ups to make
arrangements on how to get the box shipped to you by courier, but to no
avail the above courier companies all made us to understand that the 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 that you will
press to open the 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 spoil the materials. N:B
we did not declare money because courier does not carry money. Today a
friend of mine who is diplomat disclosed to me that there is a security
courier service company that is
specialized in sending diplomatic materials and information from.one
country to another, which also has diplomatic immunity and consignment
such as this cannot be checked by any customs anywhere in the world. I
have therefore met the official of the security Courier service and
concluded shipping arrangement with them,which they will commence as soon as
I have your go ahead order.
The diplomat who will be bring in This consignment to you is anexpact
and has been in this line of work for many years now so we have nothing
to worry about.After all 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 courier.
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
inform anyone about This until you received your money. Am helping you on
this because something in me is tells me that you are an honest person.
When you conclude This and you send
our promise, we will help to ship the final part of your money to you.
May God be with you as i wait for your response either through Email:
