Dear Sir/Madam

Last update about your over due shipment. I am Barrister Philip Micheal, I work with Ministry Of Foreign Affairs & Regional  Integration here in Cotonou, Republic Of Benin, A delivery Agent by  name Mr.John Williams came down last week from your country with a  package that contained Atm Visa Card worth of $3.7 Million Dollars. He  submitted the package to our office on his arrival for safe keeping  and later his body was found dead in a ghastly auto crash in the city.  We have sent the package back to your country via diplomatic services  because there is no other way to locate you in respect of the package.

The only information we have about you is your email address/name  which he wrote somewhere in the document attached to the package. So  we are emailing you in respect of this to know if you are the rightful  owner of the Atm Visa Card so that you can contact the assigned  diplomatic who arrived your country with your package a while ago.  Please if you are the owner,kindly contact the diplomatic Agent Mr.Richard Mark phone him ,(202)846-3048 and reconfirm your full  information such as your full name your home address, your contact  phone number and nearest airport include your Id to enable him deliver  the package to you safely; I anticipate your update once you get in  contact with the diplomat.

Best Regards.
Barrister Philip Micheal
