Dear theiss
I confirm receipt of message. I called you yesterday to inform you about a consignment which was instructed to deliver to you. But could not understand what you are saying
Be informed that you are required to custom clearance charges of 1,600 euro before the consignment will be deliver to your giving address. I will personally deliver the consignment to your giving address in Germany if you will settle the delivery charges here in our branch office in Paris De France
Contact me on this number (+33 601 773 478)
