Subject: I HAVE REGISTERED YOUR CONSIGNMENT WITH FEDEX
Goodday!!!
We have been waiting for you since to contact us for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of $800,000 United States Dollars which my husband kept for but we 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 $800,000 USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to
cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out
out of the country for a 4 Months Course and I will not come back till end
of september 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 for the delivering Charge,
Insurance premium.
The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your
Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($165.00 US)
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
($165.00 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 COMPANY now for the delivery of your
Draft with this information bellow;
Contact Person: Dr Richard Smith
Email Address:(fedexexpresscourier14@live.com )
Tel/FAX: +229 93 10 28 98
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm 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. Note that this is thier
email address[fedexexpresscourier14@live.com ].
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 $165.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.
Note this. The FEDEX COURIER SERVICE company don't know the contents of the
Box. I registered it as a BOX OF FAMILY VALUABLES..
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.
I am waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully
Dr.John Eri
