I got your message. I also called you twice on the phone but a man picked the call but I could not understand what he was saying because he was speaking German.
I am still wondering why you cannot get me on my cell phone which other people has been reaching me on.It is working so try it several times as i instructed you earlier.

Since we are going to use a diplomat in bringing the funds over to your place, we are almost at the last completion of the arrangements towards that.
The arrangement is that the Feudiciary Agency here will move the package to London via diplomatic cover to their affiliated company there who will in turn contact you once the package is with them to inform you about the delivery plan to your place since you cannot travel to london to receive the package (funds) personally due to your busy schedule.
The company handling this matter has already packaged the whole thing in a way that no one will know that the contents of the consignment is money ok? and you will not let anyone know also. we will tell the diplomat that will be coming for the delivery that you are our family friend that we are sending you those things to show our appreciation for being nice to me and my kids ever since my husband died as a “gift”. they will “tag” it as a “diplomatic materials and valuables”.
The funds will be in two metalic boxes and the key combination numbers will only be given to you by me here through the e-mail so that only you will have access to open it after delivery. The diplomat will only hand over the keys for the “out padlocks” used in locking the two boxes to you once he gets it cleared and delivers it to your place. He will not know the numbers i am going to give you.
You will be contacted from London once the package gets there by the officer incharge so that both of you will negociate and pick a date that he will be coming to deliver it to you in your place or anywhere you would want him to deliver it to you on his arrival to your country.
Please don’t forget that there is a price to pay for the delivery which will be communicated to you from London once they get there. So you will have to assist us for that delivery charges from London to your country (your place) so that they can come for the delivery please.
Thank you.
Mr. Pius Peter.
