Attention:

An Official meeting was held in Johannesburg, South Africa last year 2025. In this G20 Summit we discussed about unclaimed payments that belongs to foreign and local beneficiaries, everyone was shocked when we discovered that lots of beneficiaries are yet to be paid, including you and we understand that you are still not paid after all your efforts to receive your payment, We then decided to intervene in this.

You will be getting your payment through consignment containing your funds, the incumbent Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell will be coming to your country on a visit with diplomatic immunity, he can walk through Customs and Immigrations without any problem like he helped three beneficiaries this year already, so you have nothing to worry about, do your best to comply fully.

Send to us Your name, Occupation, Address and telephone number.

We understand that you have paid a lot in the past just for your payment to be delivered to you, but that ends now. Be informed that this process is the only way for you to get your payment without any stress. Note that as soon as the package/Consignment is registered under the Ambassadorial Luggage it will be delivered to your address without any issue.

Be free to ask your question as we are here to make things right for you.

Thanks for your time and understanding.

Yours Sincerely,

Secretary, US Ambassador to South Africa.
