Note:The
charges are a little high because of the insurance cover we have undertaken
incase of loss, damage or theft of your highly sensitive consignment content.
We assume all responsibilities incase of any eventualities. Fastway Couriers do
not allow Cash on delivery(C.O.D) as all payment must be made in this office
before shipment can commence.
This company declined reverse payment for
these charges, stating that it is against their professional policy towards
ensuring the safe delivery of the check to you. That if a reverse payment is
made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or
insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the
check since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing. With
the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out.
Be informed that we
are sending you a check which can only be cleared by you with the provision of
your I.D (Driving license/passport). Fastway Couriers do not have the authority
to cash your check or send your funds via bank-to-bank account. Please take
note.
Note: that your prize is protected by a hardcover insurance
policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before it
has been remitted to you. This means that the above charge cannot be deducted
from the prize and hence must be provided by you before your prize is
transferred to you.
This is in accordance with section 13(1) (n) of the
National Gambling Act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3rd July 1996 by the
constitutional assembly. This is to protect winners and to avoid
misappropriation of funds'
I hope all of this is clearly understood? As
soon as I get your response including your completed Delivery Information
Request Form I'll give you payment instruction. Send a copy of your Driving
license or Passport via express mail or as an

your Winning Package. Hope you understand this email and its contents. Please
