This is a classic example of a Nigerian “4-1-9” scam message, complete with all the trimmings. (Read more about how Nigerian scams work.) Sadly, there is no real fortune hidden in diplomatic boxes, and no courier waiting to deliver it to your home address. There is only a scammer trying to transfer money from your pocket into his.
