On my assumption the box contain $10M .

On further investigation, i discovered that the consignment was abandoned due to wrong declaration of the content, also the Diplomat inability to pay for the Domestic Airport Customs Non inspection clearance Fee, because he did not know the content of the boxes.

I will arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, once we are through I will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the security it needs to your doorstep.

Now i want to strike a deal with you, in your acceptance i will proceed on this. I have the capacity to secure the release of your consignment with my status as an United Nations\Inspection Agent. You will give me 10% of the amount in the consignment and you take the remaining 90% when we cleared it,

You can as well call me on this number +1-469-712-5160 if you wish to speak with me but if you call and could not reach me on phone note that i am on the field for inspection, So leave your information so that i can reach you when i am back in the office.

Mr.George Johnston
The email was sent from the email address "Mr.George Johnston <angie@mercuryserveinc.com>", with the Reply-to address "gj501908@gmail.com" and the subject "(Your Abandoned funds) (Valued Customer)".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being fraudulently transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
