subject: YOUR CUSTOMS CLEARANCE PERMIT AND CUSTOMS APPROVAL LETTER HAS BEEN SECURED
mailed-by: gmail.com

Mr. Ben Collins Director Customs Airport Inspection Officer. San
Francisco, CA 94128, United States. working hand in hand with
Department of Homeland Security and U.S Customs and Border Protection.

I wrote to you some time ago about your abandoned shipment from a
Diplomats from Africa down here in California and when scanned the
shipment, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk
Boxes weighting 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 Diplomats inability to pay
for Clearance Charges.

I also told you that each of the boxes will contain more than US$5.5
Million each and the consignments is still left in storage house till
today through a registered shipping Company, Courier Dispatch Service
Limited a division of Tran guard LTD. The Consignments 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 give you a proposal for us to work together and transact this
business and share the money, since the shipper has abandoned it and
ran away. I will pay for Charges 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%.

Since then i have been working on the Two Metal Trunk Boxes Clearance
Process and i was able to get everything done last week Friday and the
Clearance Documents are out and Consignments ready for delivery.

I am happy with this new development and achievement as the Clearance
are done and the Boxes is ready for delivery. i will be going to
Warehouse to pick Up the Two Metal Trunk Boxes, also to register the
Two Metal Trunk Boxes with Insurance Company which will cost $100 and
i don't have this $100 right now to insure the Boxes with Insurance
Company.

I plead with you to please be at help this time. help me send $100, so
that i can proceed to your address with the Consignments and share our
Money. because $100 is the only Money left to get this done.

I will Attach and Email you with your CUSTOMS CLEARANCE PERMIT and
CUSTOMS APPROVAL LETTER immediately i hear from you.

I wait to hear from you.
