Subject: RELEASE OF YOUR UNPAID COMPENSATION FUNDS

Hello Dear Beneficiary,

I am Brian Wesley Shukan, the newly appointed United States Ambassador

to Benin. After successful tenure and service in Sudan,  President Joe

Biden nominated me to be the next United States Ambassador to Benin

due to my committed effort to the service. After the Senate Foreign

Relations Committee held hearings on my nomination, I was confirmed

and sent to take over activities here in the U.S Embassy Cotonou,

Benin on May 5, 2022.

I am not happy with what I discovered here at the embassy. Upon my

resumption, I have noticed numerous unpaid scam victims compensation

funds belonging to several beneficiaries. The past administration of

the embassy did not do enough to disseminate these funds to the

rightful  owners. I understand that this may be due to corruption in

the system which I stand against. I have personally swore to deliver

these funds to the beneficiaries with immediate

The United Nations in agreement with the United States ordered

Benin-Republic to pay a compensation amount of $3M USD to each scam

victim for what they suffered in the name of their country, but so

far, not a good number of people have been paid. A Lot of

beneficiaries have not gotten their payments and the authorities are

sitting on it. I have made it a point of duty to personally see to the

disbursement of these funds to the rightful owners and it's on this

note that I decided to contact you for the release of your

compensation funds to you.

Kindly re-confirm the following

1. Name:

2. Address:

3. Phone:

4. Occupation:

5. Age:

6. Country:

7: How much you lost to the impostors:

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours in Duty

Ambassador Brian Wesley Shukan

INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND/
WORLD BANK FACT-FINDING & SPECIAL
DUTIES OFFICE.

Greetings to you,

I am Rt. Rev. Father Williams Randolf, Chairman Board Of Trustee (BOT) World Bank fact finding & special duties office. Immediately after the publication from this office that all unpaid contract funds (UCF), unpaid lotto fund (ULF), scammed victims funds (SVF) ETC should be paid through this office. This office received many applications including from your representative with British passport NO. 3028882234. Who also forwarded this account to us to transfer your fund into. The following is the account; ACC. NAME: MR JAMES JACKSON. BANK NAME: CITI BANK. ADDRESS: ARIZONA, USA. ACCOUNT NUMBER: 6503809008. On your receipt of this message I want you to urgently reconfirm to this office whether this person is truly from you or not, as this office will not be liable if the total sum US$10 MILLION is paid into your representative (Mr. James Jackson) account. 

If not you are requested to forward the following information to this office for verification and re-approval of your funds to your name as beneficiary of the fund. 1) YOUR NAME IN FULL. 2) YOUR COMPLETE ADDRESS. 3) YOUR TELEPHONE OR CONTACT INFORMATION. 4) AGE AND GENDER. 5) YOUR OCCUPATION. On personal note: According to information I personally gathered from the banks/security and computer section, you have been waiting for a long time to receive your money without success. As I found out that you have almost met all the statutory requirements in respect of your fund settlement, but your problem is that of interest groups. A lot of people are interested in your payment and those people are merely doing papers works with you and that is why you receive messages from different people almost every day. Also we found out that some of the officials and fraudsters have been extorting money from you with the pretext of helping you to receive your money. I can assure you that this may last for years yet nothing happens, if you did not do away with those officers you call your partners and for security reasons. And I have decided to take it upon myself to make sure that you received your funds immediately through diplomatic means of payment.

We have concluded that you must compensate us with five hundred thousand United States Dollars (US$500.000.00) as soon as you receive your money to this effect, you will send to us a promissory note for five hundred thousand united States Dollars (US$500.000.00) along with your address for sending the boxes by diplomatic courier, Please maintain top most secrecy as it may cause a lot of problem if found out that we are using this way to help you. Do not tell anybody about this until you have your money at your doorstep. I want to help you because something in me is telling me that you are an honest person, when we concluded this and you send our own part. We will help to ship the final part of the money. Be blessed as we wait for your urgent reply to send the money through diplomatic courier. For security reasons please reply to  (randolf.w.rev@gmail.com).
 
Yours faithfully,

Subject: YOUR SHIPMENT

Hello,

I am Mr. David Wilson Head of Inspection Unit, United Nations Inspection Agency in Harts field-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, Georgia. During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport. To our facility here in Atlanta, and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 110kg each. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal Effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities.

The diplomat's inability to pay for Non Inspection fees among other things are the reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned. By my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4M or more. They are still left in the airport storage facility till today. The Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing about 110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective Capacity: 680 L) Approximately. The details of the consignment including your name and email on the official document from United Nations office in London where the shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified document is still available with us. As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your Full name, Phone Number, full address so I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the official documents.

It is now left to you to decide if you still need the consignment or allow us repatriate it back to UK (place of origin) as we were instructed. Like I did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most importantly because he gave a false declaration, he could not pay for the yellow tag, he could not secure a valid non inspection document(s), etc. I am ready to assist you in any way I can for you to get back this packages provided you will also give me something out of it (financial gratification). You can either come in person, or you engage the services of a secure shipping/delivery Company/agent that will provide the necessary security. That is required to deliver the package to your doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need all the guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved in this project. Please Reply this email strictly at ( sp342004@gmail.com ) with reconfirmation of your Full Name, Home Address, City, State and Telephone number.



Sincerely,

Mr. David Wilson
