Here is the talk on how the money will be collected using the services of a "diplomat"
Hello dear friend,

May the good God continue to bless you and your family for your very kind and prompt response to my email, indicating your willingness to assist me on this funds for investment purposes in your country or any country that you will recommend. Am well impressed by your person and I feel I have found the right person, but time will tell. As you know, the success of this transaction will depend on our total mutual trust.

I want everything to be clear to you right now but you have to read carefully.

The deal is all about the money I made here, and I have it kept safely in a box and stored in an abandoned mine in Kabul Due to the United Nation policy on Afghanistan, there is a plan to move some troops out of Afghanistan so I will be among the people that will be moving out.

I cannot take this money to the United States because since they know me as military personnel, they will want to know how I come about it. Due to this, I have made an arrangement for a Red Cross diplomat agent to move this fund.

The question is who will be in charge of the money in my absence?. This is exactly why I need your help.
I want to guarantee you that you will not stand any risk in this as I have mapped out the strategy to have this box moved out of here safely Through Diplomatic means.

you have to keep everything confidential till you receive the fund as a consignment.

Finally, I want you to stand as the beneficiary and receive the fund and keep it safe so that as soon as I come to your country, you will assist me to invest it in a good profitable venture, I am willing to give you 40% of the total money for the assistance after you have receive the money. I believe I can trust you.

Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities, which are secured so no body can monitor our emails, then I can explain in details to you. I will only reach you through email, because our calls might be monitored, I just have to be sure whom I am dealing with. Please if you can handle it, let me know so that I will furnish you on the way forward.

Please send your information so that I will furnish you on the modality to follow.
