Dr. Walter Obasanjo says: "lobby with the weighing officer and give him US$500"
Hello, I am Miss Young. This story is about a consignment that gets stuck in London for a long time. Go to the homepage to see more stories.

I send Walter my address and gives him a go-ahead:

Att. Dr. Walter Obasanjo

Thank you for your fax. It pleases much that the first payment now will be transferred. I hope you work just as hard on getting the rest of the amount ready to be payed. ...

Dear Sir, We wish to inform you that your consignment that contained your funds have finally letf nigeria today with Dilomat -Campell Smith ,to be arriving in your country and delivered to you within 3-4 days. The keys and the other documents were padded with the boxes and put inside another box with dialock key numbers as a new system, so as to enable you have your funds accordingly . As I had told you earlier, that 0.1% of your contract amount should be deducted for payment of all charges and taxes levelled against your contract claim. This 0.1% deducted was judiciously used that way and paid all the taxes, changes and levies that hindered you from collected this your funds for a long time now.

However, after paying all taxes, the money for the expenses remained US$15,000 to take charge of shipping the two silver boxes that contained your money. Of course, your funds were packed into two giant iron silver boxes at the foreign current operations department of our Apex Bank; the boxes were locked with keys, well sealed and covered with forms before forwarding to the Diplomats for onwards to the straight forwarders for weighing at the Air Port.

And on getting to the airport for weighing, we found out that each box weighed 100kg/US$100. Then the two boxes weighed 200kg and cost = US$20,000 thereby remains balance of US$5,000 to complete this payment. As your consignments were tightly locked and sealed, and also for security reasons of your funds. I cannot open them at the public to take out the balance of US$5,000. Therefore there is nothing I could do rather than to lobby with the weighing officer and give him US$500 out of my own purse as a tip-up for him to under weighs your consignments. Note that the weight declared to shipper is 150kg instead of actual weight which is 200kg.

Anyway, my happiness now is that your consignment/cargo/funds has been shipped, to be deliver to your address and take note of its information.
Total Weight of the Boxes = 200kg
The Dial Lock Key No. for box A1 = 5534
The Dial Lock Key No. for box A2 = 8176
Airway Bills Nos. = 1663348994
Bill of Lading Nos. = 8754

It was accompanied by a Diplomat -Dr Campell Smith. Note that it is films and films materials that were declared before the customs for security reasons of your funds while the true actual contents were money, and it was sent through the help of CAMPELL SMITH. Please, keep the entire contents of the boxes very secret and confidential and let the true contents which is raw cash dollars in use, only known by you. And under normal circumstance you should let anyone know the true content of your cargo till it finally delivered to your address and deposited to your bank account accordingly.

. And do not hesitate to contact me immediately you have received this mail

Thanks.
Yours Faithfully

DR. Walter Obasanjo
CHAIRMAN (PTF)

 

2 days later I answer:

Dear Dr. Walter Obasanjo

Thank you for your mail. I am looking forward to receive the boxes.

Could you send me a copy of the Airway Bill. That will help me when I have to transfer the cash money to the bank. I know that they will expect that big amount to be illegal money unless I have some documents that prove it is legitimate.

Many thanks, ...

I don't want to pay, so I have to win some time.

Sir,

Please stop calling me SIR, as I am a woman. I have attached my picture.

I have never heard of a non-inspection certificate. What are they used for?

Why cant the customs open the boxes if they want? I am not afraid of "money laundering". You can ask the customs to contact me if they have any questions.

Regarding you being stranded in London without money for Hotel, I suggest that you contact your company. It must be their business to take care of you while you travel.

DEAR MS YOUNG,

I GOT YOUR MAIL WITH A COPY OF YOUR PASSPORTPHOTO.

THE NON-INSPECTION CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE IS LIKE IMMUNITY COVERAGE ON YOUR CARGO SO THAT IT WOULD HAVE FREE PASSAGE BEFORE ANY LAW EFFORCEMENT AGENCY TILL IT ARRIVE IN YOUR ADDRESS.

IT IS NOT ADVISABLE FOR A CONSIGNMENT OF THAT NATURE TO FACE INSPECTION DUE TO ITS TRUE CONTENTS WHICH IS RAW CASH MONEY IN UNITED STATE DOLLARS.ACTUALLY THE BRITISH CUSTOMS WOULD CONFISICATE YOUR CARGO IF THEY FIND SUCH HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY INSIDE THE BOXES.

THEREFORE SEND THE MONEY FOR GETTING THE NON-INSPECTION SO THAT I WILL HAVE FREE SAFETY MOVEMENT TO YOUR ADDRESS AND THEN DELIVER THE BOXES TO YOU ACCORDINGLY.

THANKS,

DR SMIITH

 

Dear Campell,

Thank you for your explanation of the non-inspection certificate. I dont fear that the customs will confiscate the boxes. If there is any trouble with them, then contact me, and I will sort things out.

Please proceed with the transport of the boxes as planned.

The Airwaybill is dated several days AFTER the consignment arrived in London, and the passport looks very fake to me.

I am very disappointed with you.
