Dear Ms Loyce Fisch,
I am in receipt of your mail . I received the instruction from my Director to send to you the sum of $800,000.00. which is an internationally certified bank draft.
You are therefore advised to come down to Benin Republic in other to pick this draft which has already been drawn in your name. I want you to note that you are required to arrange for your coming down at once to receive this draft as I have other assignments outside this location. When you finalize your arrangement to come, give me a call on this number: +229-93-691074 to furnish me with your flightintenary to enable me come and meet you at the Airport.
NOTE: HERE IS THE ONLY OPTIONS TO RECEIVE THE DRAFT:
If you will not be able to come down to Benin Republic, the cheque will be despatched to you for your direct and effective encashing through courier service company. as i will meet the courier office tomorrow for the arrangement of the shipping if you cannot be able to come and then fill below informations where to send the cheque.
1.YOUR FULL NAME:_________________
2.YOUR Country ADDRESS:____________________________
3.TELEPHONE NUMBER:___________

The reason why I said that you will come is because my boss left the cheque without the money to send it to you. In this vein therefore, the mailing expenses has to be taken care of by you. So if you like your cheque to be sent to you via Diplomatic courier service company then be advised to send me your full contact informations where you want your cheque to be sent and i will meet the courier company to know how much it will cost incase if you don,t want to come to Benin ok. I'm waiting your urgent response.
