Atten: dear email owner

I hope this email finds you in good spirit and in good health?

S department of homeland security, i am in charge to monitor all foreign transactions in africa europe and asia and this kept me in constantly traveling round the world, i have been in the u.

T. M card cases and bank transfer. I do not intend to spoil your day or to put you under duress. But you can not receive any of your consignments boxes, a. T. M card and bank transfer pursuit, without a clearance from this u. S department of homeland security. However, upon my arrival in nairobi kenya after series of meetings with our president donald trump and united nations secretary general ban ki-moon, due to numerous complains from other security agencies from africa asia, europe, oceania, antarctica, south america and the united states of america respectively, and against the kenya government and benin over the rate of scam/fraudulent activities going on in these africa countries and around the world.

When i arrive in kenya parliament in nairobi and going through all cases o[censored]npaid funds, i found your consignment box clearance file lying on the foreign affair office desk without any attention and on a thorough scrutiny, i discovered that your consignment have been abandoned by your delivery agent. Meanwhile, i was made to understand that the foreign affair office have tried to reach you, but no way and they have made several attempts to contact your delivery agent but to no avail. To my greatest surprise, during my recent routine re-checking, i personally discovered that your consignment content declaration document (C. C. D. D) stated that your consignment contains personal effects meanwhile, it contains united states dollar cash us$11 million dollars, (Eleven million united states dollars) which made it impossible for the consignment to be delivered to you earlier before now.

Based on this personal discovery, i am contacting you now to let you know that with my position and power as the secretary o[censored].
