Telephone: 517 295-3661


Attn :

I am Mr. James Bednarz Director Inspection United Nations Inspection Agency here in
Newark Liberty International airport New York City. During my recent routine check
at the Airport Storage/vault on withheld packages, I discovered an abandoned
shipment from a Diplomat from London and Africa, when scanned it revealed an
undisclosed sum of money in two Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 35kg each.

The consignment was abandoned because the Contents was not properly declared by the
consignee as “MONEY” rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid
interrogation by the customs and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the
Non Inspection Charges which is about $5,850 USD before bringing in the consignment
into USA which from the delivery air way bill the shipment was suppose to be
delivered to your address and we refused to return back the consignment where it
came from since, we have already received it.

On my assumption, and after the scan each of the boxes will contain more than USD5.5
Million each and the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the
airport till date. Your name and address is on the consignment while the airway
bill has been received by my office.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment,
please provide me with your current Phone Number and Full Address to enable me cross
check if it c corresponds with the address on the official documents including the
Name of the nearest Airport around your city for immediate delivery.

Note that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States
Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding the
clearance processes and you know that the United States Government is under pressure
and seriously indeed of funds, so I advise you hasten up and clear it so I will
place it for the next day delivery of which possibly I will have to accompany the
delivery to your address to ensure it's smooth and safe arrival to your address,
that is also part of my duty .

The unpaid sum of $5,850 is the Government income revenue charges which can not be
weaved or ignored and we do not have any legal authority to take any thing out
from your consignment before delivery to you, the only thing that will bring the
eyes of the custom back to the consignment is if your delay in clearing it up for
immediate delivery. The US Government is expecting you to pay the above charges
without delay .

So in order words, I will advise you to send the required details to me for quick
processing and response. Once I receive your information including the receipt of
the payment Sum of $5,850 for the Non Inspection Charges, I can get every thing
concluded within 3-6 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for
delivery.

Please your direct telephone number is required so that we can reach you for more
information, I wait to hear from you urgently if you a re still alive.
