U.S. AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA
OFFICE OF THE U.S AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA
2 Walter Carrington Cres, Victoria Island, Lagos Nigeria
Telephone: +2348055229631.

Dear Beneficiary,

I shall be coming to your country for an official meeting on Friday
25th/June/2021 and i shall be bringing your Fund of $15.5m Along with me
but this time i will not go through Custom because as an Ambassador to
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, I am a US GOVERNMENT AGENT and i have the
veto power to go through Custom. As soon as i am through with my meeting i
shall then proceed to your registered house address with your Consignment
Fund.

Without missing words, I am convinced 100% that you have had bitter
experiences with various 'scams' claiming to be high government officials
and thereby defrauding you of your 'hard-earned money'. The
activities of these scam has changed your perspective about conducting
business on the internet, and you now believed there is no genuine
business that can be conducted on the internet. Well, I am an American and
the internet was created by Americans for the purpose of creating
awareness for your products/services and conducting genuine business with
ease. I am fully committed to deliver the "diplomatic consignment" to you at
your doorstep within 48hours in order to differentiate myself from the
many Benin Republic, Nigeria and other government officials you have dealt
with.

I am a full citizen of the United States, but I was on a Foreign Mission
here in NIGERIA as a US Ambassador. Hence, I am making every effort to
ensure that no citizen of the United States and other parts of the world is
cheated by Nigeria, Benin Republic. Therefore, I need your utmost support
and understanding to actualize this dream. I also want you to understand
that I do trust you and I expect you to show me the same trust and respect
in return since trust is a 2-way street. On the other hand, trust is a
relationship of reliance. Trust also means being able to predict what
other people will do and what situations will occur.

Trust is both an emotional and logical act. Emotionally, it is where you
expose your vulnerabilities to people, but believing they will not take
advantage of your openness. Logically, it is where you have assessed the
probabilities of gain and loss, calculating expected utility based on hard
performance data, and concluded that the person
in question will behave in a predictable manner. In practice, trust is a
bit of both. I trust you because I have experienced your trustworthiness
by merely believing in what I have said, even when you have not seen me,
and because I have faith in human nature.

Frankly speaking, I understand that anyone in your shoes will feel
betrayed, but I still want you to show me your trust by giving me the
benefit of doubt on this delivery arrangement. My identity and personality
is verifiable, and I promise to deliver the consignment to you safely
without any hitch. YOUR PACKAGE ($15.5m) MUST BE REGISTERED
AS AN AMBASSADORIAL PACKAGE as planned. Do not allow this mission to die
off because of $400 US Dollars for the registration fee of your
Consignment Luggage, I meant so well for you and I believe you will
appreciate me more when you have finally received your payment of
$15,500.000.00 US Dollars upon my arrival with the package in your country.

I will use my position and personality to deposit the $15,500.000.00 USD
into your bank account without questioning from the financial monitoring
authorities, since all documentations proving the legitimacy of the funds
has been processed. Please don't see me as one of the numerous dubious
Benin Republic or Nigeria you have dealt with
in the past. I am a different person entirely and I come from a different
continent. I have the American spirit in me and I hate cheaters. I promise
to always uphold the national unity of the United State. Please reply back
ASAP and let me know your possibility of sending the $400 US Dollars today.
