Subject: RE.YOUR ABANDONED CONSIGNMENT.
Attn: Beneficiary,
I am the new EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and Head of
Operations of Overseas Credit Commission London, UK. However, upon my
arrival to this office, I found your consignment clearance file lying
fallow on my desk without any attention. On a thorough scrutiny I
discovered that your consignment have been abandoned by your delivery
agent. Meanwhile, I have made several attempts to contact your delivery
agent but to no avail.
To my greatest surprise, during my recent
routine checking, I personally discovered that your consignment content
declaration documents stated that your consignment contains personal
effects while it contains United States dollar bills worth of US$
US$6.850 Million, which made it impossible for the consignment to be
delivered to you earlier before now as your delivery agents were unable
to meet up with the international demand to complete the elivery to
you.
Based on this personal discovery, I am contacting you now to let
you know that with my position and power in this office, I can assist
you to legally clear your consignment and get it delivered to your home
address, but you must agree with the following conditions:
1. You must
not disclose to any member of my organization whatever assistance that I
am going to render to you in respect of clearing and delivering this
consignment into your custody.
2. You will provide me with an
authenticated promissory note, otherwise known as partnership binding
agreement, that upon the safe arrival of the consignment fund to your
custody, that you will give me 30% of the total sum contained in the
consignment.
3. You must give adequate attention to this matter until we
successfully and legally secure the consignment fund into your custody.
Upon your acceptance with my above conditions, I will furnish you with
further details of what should be done to legally get the consignment
fund cleared and safely delivered to you as the rightful owner of the
consignment. Meanwhile, if you know that you would be unable to keep the
secret of my assistance to you in this regards, please do not border to
reply.
Hence the consignment fund would be recovered into our
organization treasury vault as unclaimed consignment fund. But if you
can assure me of your competency to keep this secret, I would like to
hear from you soon as possible so that I can email you further details
and guidelines.
I am looking forward to your earliest response.
Have
a Great Day
Mr. Parker Williams
Head of Operations
