Mr, Ben Collins, Director Custom Airport Inspection officer 3225 North
Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, United States. working hand in hand
with Department of Homeland Security and U.S Customs and Border
Protection. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned
shipment from a Diplomat from Africa under ship forwarder was
transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in California
and when scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal
Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 210kg each. The consignment was
abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the
consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid
diversion by the Shipping Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for
immunity tag Fees.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more than US$5.5
Million each and the consignment is still left in storage house till
today through a registered shipping Company, Courier Dispatch Service
Limited a division of Tran guard LTD. The Consignment are Two Metal
Trunk Boxes with weight of about 110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x
H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.), approximately

I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the
shipper has abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the immunity tag
fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your
address, once we are through I will deploy the services of a secured
shipping Company geared to provide the security it needs to your
doorstep. Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But I
will share it 30% for me and 70% for you. But you
have to assure me of my 30%.

The details of the consignment including your name, the official
documents from United Nation office are tagged on the Metal Trunk
boxes. I will advice you to provide your Phone Number and Your full
address, to cross check if they correspond with the address on the
official documents. Include the name of your nearest Airport and other
details. You can send the required details to me for onward delivery.
All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get
everything concluded within 3-4 hours upon your acceptance and proceed
to your address for delivery. But I must get assurance from you
concerning my 30% before I will proceed.

I wait to hear from you.
