Subject: shipping/delivery Company/agent,
I am Richard Burr Head of Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection
Agency in Harts field-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, Georgia.
During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment through a
Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferred from JF Kennedy
Airport to our facility here in Atlanta, and when scanned it revealed
an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing
approximately 110kg each. (<email address redacted>)
The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly
declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal
Effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping
Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities. The diplomat's
inability to pay(<email address redacted>)
For Non Inspection fees among other things are the reason why the
consignment is delayed and abandoned.
By my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4M or more. They
are still left in the airport storage facility till today. The
Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing about
110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective
Capacity: 680 L) Approximately. The details of the consignment
including your name and email on the official document from United
Nations' office in) (<email address redacted>)
London where the shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified
document is still available with us. As it stands now, you have to
reconfirm your, Full name, Phone Number, full address so I can
cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the official
documents. It is now left to you to decide if you still need the
consignment or allow us repatriate it back to UK (place of origin) as
we were instructed. (<email address redacted>)
Like I did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most
importantly because he gave a false declaration, he could not pay for
the yellow tag, he could not secure a valid non inspection document(s)
etc. I am ready to assist you in any way I can for you to get back
this packages provided you will also give me something out of it
(financial gratification). You can either come in person, or you
engage the services of a secure shipping/delivery Company/agent that
will provide the necessary security that is required to deliver the
package to your doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need the
entire guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved in
this project.
Best Regards,
Richard Burr
