From: thomson tagbo <thomson_tagbo2003@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2007 14:22:50 +0000 (GMT)
Subject: URGENT
Attn:Roddric Goldschitz,
I have been expecting your message regarding the cashier's cheque of $850,000.00 Million USD which my boss dropped on your behalf as he instructed me to deliver it to you when you contacts me in respect of the cheque.
Therefore, my advice to you is send your mailing address to me immediately you received this e mail today. In other words, I can mail the cheque to destination through courier service but you have to bear the cost of delivery.If this option is acceptable by you let me know to enable me verify the cost of delivery.
Feel free to call me at my direct phone number for any furthure clarifications. +229 93202638.
Have a nice day.
