Subject: I HAVE REGISTERED YOUR CONSIGNMENT WITH FEDEX
Good day!!!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of $850,000 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since
for a couple of weeks now.
Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near
to expire and Dr.Wilson 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 $850,000 USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment
to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country
for five Months Course and I will not come back till ending of November
2008.
What you have to do now is to contact Fedex Express Service Burkina faso as
soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment 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 Fedex Express Service to deliver your
Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($85.00 US)
Eighty Five United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the
Fedex Express Service so far.Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any
other money except $85.00 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 Fedex Express Service now for the delivery of your
consignment with this information bellow;
Directors Name: Dr.Alhaji Muhhamed Koka
Companys Name:Fedex Express Service Burkina Faso

Please, Send them your contacts informations to enable them locate you
immediately they arrived your country with your BOX.
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.
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 $85.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.
Note this. The Fedex Express Service don't know the contents of the Box. I
registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. 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,
Mrs.Sarah
