Subject: CONTACT FEDEX COURIER SERVICE FOR YOUR PACKAGE
*Good day! *
**
*I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of US$1.250.000,00 United States Dollars, but i did not hear from you
since that time. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired
or getting near to expire and Mr. Justin Yayi the Director Bank of Africa
told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire. So
I told him to cash the US$1.250.000,00 UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment
to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country
for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of August 2008. *
**
*What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY as soon as
possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the
expiring date.For your information, I have paid the delivering Charge which
you sent, i have paid all the fee for the needed papers and i also paid the
Insurance premium which i will be sending the copy as soon as possible. *
**
*The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your
Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($195.00)
United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company
so far.Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except
$195.00 US Dollars. *
**
*I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you
will contact them and in case of demurrage.You have to contact the FEDEX
COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information

*Finally, make sure that you re-confirm your Postal address and Direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask
them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over
there and know when it will get to your address. Let me repeat again, try to
contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and
remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $195.00 US Dollars for
their immediate action to deliver to you. Note this. The FEDEX COURIER
SERVICE company don't know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a BOX
of family values. They did not know the contents was money. this is to avoid
them delaying with the BOX.Don,t let them know that box contents money ok.
