Fred, I'm about 45 minutes from ATL Hartsfield airport. I'll pick up your $4.5M for a 10% fee!

You inherited $4.5 million from Uncle Jumbamumu! Uncle Jumbamumu musta singled out little Fred due to the strong family resemblance.

You should ask the agent if the heroin is still in the boxes with the cash.

In the world of scams, now is the time to institute "the pivot". In other words, turn things around on the scammer without him noticing.

Tell him that you are VERY thankful for finding your shipping container, but you have bigger problems and could use his help. As your requests will be extralegal in nature, you will reimburse him directly for expenses incurred in addition to a small cut of any profits. Tell him that after a "pharmaceutical" deal gone bad, you need his help to free up some funds being held by a bank in Nigeria. Specifically, they are holding $100 million of your dollars, and you will gladly pay him 10%. You need 10 Polaroid pictures of the bank in Lagos, sent to your PO box. Further instructions on completion of the mission.

Old uncle Jumbamumu and mom did always seem to be a little bit close at family gatherings and what not. There were rumors circling the family for years about it .
I'm guessing that he wanted me to carry on the blood line .
