Greating!,
My Dearest,
How are you today and your family?hope you are expriencing execellent health
and peace of mind.
I have been waiting for you,ever since to contact me regards your
Confirmable Bank Draft of $ 1.800,000.00 USD, but I haven't heard from you
since that time,as a result of, best known to you.
Now i,am so happy to inform you again that your Bank Draft has been
converted into cash payment,and it packed in a consigment box as family
valuables for security reasons under security monitoring department with a
seal on it for security reasons.
I went and deposited the consigment box with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE,Benin
Republic.
Becuase, I'travelled to FRANCE to visit my partner and i will not be back
till the month end. So what I would advise you to do now is contact the
FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they would commence
the delivery
to your address,as i have already paid for the delivery Charges, Insurance
premium and Clearance Certificate fee of the consigment box showing that it
is neither connected to Drug Money nor meant to sponsor any terrorist attack
in your Country.
The only money that you will have to send to them to deliver your Consigment
box direct to your postal Address in your country is ( $115.00 ) US Dollars
only being Security Keeping Fee of your consigment box so far,I would have
paid that for you,but I was denied of it as they argued that they don't know
when you will contact them in the case of any demurrage.
Listen,don't be deceived by anybody to pay any money more than ( $115.00 )
US Dollars for the Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company,because,i
have already pay them all the necessary fee regards the delivery of your
consigment.
You have to CONTACT THE FEDEX COURIER SERVICES IMMEDIATELY with this
information below;to avoid increasing the Security Keeping Fee.

I,gave them your delivery address but you have to re-confirm it to them
again to avoid any mistake on the delivering ok.( ,( )
Make sure that you re-confirm your alternative address to them to avoid any
mistake on the delivery and ask them to up date you on when your consigment
would get to your home address once it is on transit.Let me repeat again,
try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further
delay and pay them their Security Keeping fee of ( $115.00 ) US Dollars for
their immediate action.
Before came to the end,always bear this in mind that your package have
registered in their office as family valuables for security reasons,Is only
the DIRECTOR FEDEX COURIER SERVICE is the person get idea of the content of
your consignment.So you should try to be friendly with him ok.
You will find the code number beside the packaged box,there is a place in it
they wrote TRP,when you open it through that side you will see the code to
open it.
You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive the
consigment box.
