In full, this spam reads:

Subject: LONG OVER DUE INHERITANCE / CONTRACT PAYMENT.

THIS IS AN OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF FUNDS DEPOSITED IN YOUR NAME AND IT
IS NOT A SALES SOLICITATION OR SPAM.

We are Diplomats that arrange for the safekeeping of pecial and valuable packages and baggage in trust for reputable clients that are honest
and trustworthy.

We work in collaboration with top firms and Governments of various ountries as we have earned a name as a service whose hallmarks in reliability and confidentiality are revered. International missions, Fellow Diplomats and Embassies of the world have used our services to satisfaction.

A benefactor whose identity can not be disclosed because of the Non Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement that was signed with the said benefactor when the funds were being deposited, made you the beneficiary of a package containing some amount of money and stated clearly that you should only be contacted when the time signed for it to be in our care elapses and the time has already elapsed that is why you are being contacted.

The Non Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement signed with the benefactor mandates us to fully divulge and disclose the benefactor’s identity 18 months after you, the beneficiary, has received the funds.

The funds totals $4.5M (Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand .S.Dollars)and we confirm that these funds are fully free of any liens, or encumbrances and are clean, clear and non-criminal origin and are available in the form of CASH.

You are hereby advised to reconfirm your Full Contact Information for erification with information contained in our computer database as well as other relevant information in the format stated below so that the funds would be arranged to be brought to your Country of residence by Diplomats who would accompany you to your bank (if you want them to) to deposit the funds in your name and submit all documentations of proof of the origin of the funds in other to exonerate yo! u from a ny form of investigations or interrogation and to authenticate the fact that the funds are clean and has no links whatsoever with either drugs or terrorism.

The Requested Information is to ensure that no mistake or error is made and it should be forwarded in the manner stated below:

The Contact Numbers are very necessary because the number would be called by the Diplomats before the funds would be handed over to you so as to ensure that the package is handed over to the right person.

So, it’s mandatory you send your Direct Telephone Number preferably your Mobile or Cell Phone Number.

Complete the above and send back to me as soon as possible.

Congratulations in advance.
