However, there is very good news right now Mr Paul Peters the bank director called me and informed me that due to the respect he has for my father as a good and reputable customer of their bank before his sudden death he will not allow me as the only daughter to suffer shame up to this extent, therefore he taken it upon himself to make sure he resolve this matter of clearance at Canada bank by negotiating with the Zurick Finance and Security Trust Service Toronto Canada.

The "diplomat who wanted to come with all the millions to your doorstep was arrestedd and now you must pay the fine" email:

[41.191.68.197]
In Acknowledgement of your mail in which you indicated that the diplomat called you in the morning that was the reason why you can not afford to believe he was arrested.

Yes He was arrested that was the reason why he could not deliver the box as he promised last night. he tried to compel the vault diplomat sector of the foregn affairs department of the air port authorities and they suspected the content of the luggage and inisted that box be scanned.
This process they forward signal to us on this regard to find out what whether the officails of our bank is offcial aware of it when they confirm our consent on this regards he was gtanted release but consignment withheld until further clarfication on the fund migrating source.
This event happened at the survillance department on United Nation Diplomatic ties on foreign affairs with the Spanish people .So incase of if you are trying to involve any officails be careful on whom you are going to contact because it is not in national affair department issue. AS the huge sum we brought is prohabit by formalities and regulations of financial pratices so if you are calling any officer make sure you do not put your self into trouble or expose the confidentiality of this arrangement because right now.

I am certain that the officials you may want to contact over there, will be the officilas from the National security agent I want to sure that No body from the national security over now has the information about this incident so getting involve on wanted officials attention may cause is a jopady to this classified information.
It is due your delay on arrival to claim this consignment bring all about this developments uncerainty on this very arrangement.

Attention:

We are sorry to bring to your attention that there is a little obstruction the diplomat who is on mission had with the Air port authorities in Spain during the clearance process.

I received a shocking news this morning regarding the problem that arises at the air port vault room administration on the process of signing the carrier bond by the diplomat agent who wanted to sign the clearance bond on your behalf, in which on the diplomatic shipment agency.
The problem is that the diplomat wanted to oblige the air official to release the consignment to him with your name as the beneficiary being present for signing the clearance carrier age.
Bond on your favour. Since you indicated that you are very busy to meet with him at the air port in Madrid for singing the clearance bond by yourself. He decides to do it on your behalf since you indicated that you are busy and will not be able to come to sign the clearance bond as the consignee.

Therefore by so doing the air port surveillance suspected the content of the box and scanned it showed to be currency and the diplomat was arrested yesterday as he is suspected to be a terrorist agent now the diplomat is in custody of the air port authorities in Spain pending when we clarify that the funds is clear from terrorist acquired or illegal funds transaction. it was this morning the chief customs officer call me and was inquiring from me if our bank actually effected the shipment of the said funds and whether it is legitimately acquired funds for this cause I have invited Mr Wilson to explain to him what happened and as well send him to the Terrorist agency office to find out what will be done to obtain the anti clearance certificate.
