Dear Beneficiary,
This is to inform you that arrangements have been concluded regarding the shipment of your consignment of funds to your country. I chose to conclude it and make sure it is off already before contacting you. I found out that this consignment has been lying here because of non-payment of shipment fees.
This is why I decided to use my connections as the Shipment officer in charge of the National Security warehouse. (This is where all the abandoned consignments in Nigeria are kept at the orders of the Government of Nigeria).
The consignment left Lagos Nigeria yesterday night en-route your country via London. It is a metal box, silver in color with a weight of about 150kg, the box is declared as containing diplomatic /inheritance documents only. The name of the Courier Company based in London is Air Courier International Ltd
Call me immediately so that I can give you the phone and fax numbers of the courier company in London so that you can confirm when the consignment will arrive.
I am doing this for you because I studied your file and discovered that you have paid a lot of money before abandoning this consignment and I believe you will compensate me well when you receive the consignment.
Note: I know the content of the Box because I could see the amount you are being owned by the Federal Government. This is why I decided to get involved. You must also know that this arrangement do not concern all the people you were dealing with in Nigeria before today as this consignment/Payment has been surrendered to the Government. Hence my involvement
Waiting for your call or mail.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur Francis Udom
