Subject: I HAVE REGISTERED YOUR CONSIGNMENT TO FEDEX COMPANY .
Good Day !
We have been waiting for you since to contact us for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of $850,000 United States Dollars which my boss kept for you 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 $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 a 4Months Course and I will not come back
till end of October 2008.
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX EXPRESS 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 deliv e r y o ur
Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105.00 US)
One Hundred & Five 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 $105.00 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 EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY now for
the delivery of your Draft with this informationbellow;
Contact Person: Dr Chinedu Pascal Hiramatus

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 add ress.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to
avo i d any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping
fee of $105.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.Note this. The FEDEX
EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY 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. Dont let them know that box contents
money ok.
I am waiting for your urgent response.
