Hello xxx,
First of all note that my e-mail is not a junk mail. I
know that it is long but please read it carefully.
I am Okilo Melvis; I want to tell you about this
consignment that is right now with DHL Company and
need to be delivered to overseas within 24 hours time.
The delivery charges will be paid from the money
inside the consignment and not from your assets.
But before I go deep into the matter, I would like to
tell you how I got your contact so that it won't be a
surprise for you that I contacted you. I got your
contact from a foreign internet directory at the Ghana
Chamber of Commerce.
This consignment right now with DHL I am talking about
was sent from China to Ghana through DHL courier. The
consignment belongs to a traditional miner-villager
and an orphan also, who lost his entire family in the
Liberian war when he was 9 years old. I know him very
well and was assisting him when he was at the refugee
camp before he travels. I sold a piece of land that I
inherited from father to source for funds for him to
travel with the diamonds to China.
The consignment he sent contained proceeds from the
diamonds he took to China to sell and some diamonds.
He could not transfer the cash out of China through
bank from China because he does not possess a license
to market diamonds so he decided to move the funds in
cash by consignment via DHL courier to Ghana, this was
possible by a special arrangement he made with some
DHL agents there.
He sent the consignment to Ghana in my name and had an
accident and unfortunately died two days in China two
days after the shipment. He wanted me to use my
connections in the DHL and Customs service to assist
him clear the consignment from customs. Since the
consignment arrived Ghana over 5 months ago ,I have
made high level contacts here to clear the consignment
through customs but things are not working out as I
expected because a custom officer whom I am close with
who could have assisted to facilitate the clearing
process had been re-deployed to another location
outside the airport.
Now it is absolutely impossible to clear the
consignment here without the customs checking it, as a
result of this the only available option left is to
re-route the consignment as a huge consignment
containing CATALOGS to make it possible to be
delivered in overseas destination without customs
going through the normal customs screening procedure.
I have made a solid arrangement with DHL Agents here
to move the consignment direct to another overseas
location and deliver it at the door steps of the
recipient. And by doing so, I was looking for one of
these foreigners who use to assist victims of war to
transfer their funds or precious minerals.
That it how I got your contact with the Ghana Chamber
of Commerce. I seek for your assistance to be the
recipient of the consignment that is right now DHL.
Believing that you are a man of God and
philanthropist. I am a strong Christian and very
devoted to Christ, I have prayed over this issue
before contacting you and I believe my God doest not
give me wrong directions and wrong advices. I helped
this young man by faith and for the sake of Christ
till he traveled and I believe the same Christ will
rescue these properties.
DHL have accepted to deliver the consignment as
agreed. You would have to make this payment after you
had taken delivery of the consignment, open it and
take money from it and pay the delivery amount.
I also need to make a change of ownership of the
consignment from me to you - meaning to change the
beneficiary of the consignment to bear the name of the
recipient as owner. The change of ownership have to be
obtained from the high court as it would involve
swearing of affidavit.
I am giving you here the DHL Airway Bill No 3315958925
and you can call any DHL office and give them the
Airway Bill Number to confirm it's authenticity, or
logon to the DHL website www.dhl.com, enter the Airway
Bill No. 3315958925 to track it and you will confirm.
I have asked them the telephone numbers of DHL in your
country, feel free to call DHL over there and ask them
whether DHL world Wild has a consignment with this
Airway bill number 3315958925 ask them to tell you
where is the consignment coming from and where was it
supposed to be delivered, so that you will know by
your self that this consignment has been waiting for
collection.
You can also go to www.DHL.com and click on the DHL
online tracking service and enter the Airway Bill
Number 3315958925, to see the position of the
consignment on your computer by yourself. There is an
amount of 2.8million USD in the consignment with DHL
with diamonds and I am willing to donate 30% (
$840,000) of the money to you when DHL delivers it to
you.
The change ownership will cost about $700 which I do
not have now, but first I want you to confirm from DHL
about this consignment for you to be sure. After you
had confirmed from DHL, we would need $700 to pay for
the change of ownership so that the movement can
proceed without delay and the returns of my 70% share
will be possible by bank. When you receive the
consignment, just tell them to hold on a while. within
that interval you can open the consignment, take the
amount of $7,700 and pay the delivery charges to the
DHL Agents.
As soon as the consignment is delivered to you, I will
make traveling arrangements to meet you in your
country to take possession of my 70% share of the
funds. I want you to provide me your preferred address
for the delivery of the consignment by DHL.
NB: I know that you may have partners here in Ghana,
please do not tell any of your partners about this new
deal I have with you, I want it to be a secret between
me and you.
I am waiting for your urgent response after you have
confirmed from DHL through their online service or
their telephone for us to proceed.
Or find the DHL telephone number and call them to
enquire about the cosnignment. OR go to their office
to enquire.
Or go to www.DHL.com and click the Online Consignment
tracking service to track the consignment. Enter the
Airway Bill No. 3315958925 and you will see the
consignment by your self and know its position, or
call the DHL in to enquire about the consignment.
I depend on you so much to see this through,as I await
you response.
I need to know your stance ASAP.
Regards,
Okilo Melvis.
