Thank you for your prompt reply. I am very pleased.

Your reconfirmed information accurately matches with the information which I have with me. The same information is accurately captured on the FBI issued approval document.

Now I am ready to deliver the security diplomatic box which is securely holding your $4.5 million in it. But there is an obligation which you will have to fulfill before the FBI will allow me to leave the airport to complete my delivery mission to your given address.

But before I could proceed to your house address to deliver the consignment box, there is an FBI obligation fee payment of $250.00 only which must be paid before I am allowed to complete my delivery task.

I will be waiting for your reply as quickly as possible. I would not want to spend many days here as my wife is expecting our baby in a couple of days. I have to be by her side while she delivers our daughter.

Thank you and best regards.

Diplomat. Phillip Johnson.
