Dear Friend, Greetings!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of ($850.000.00)
United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since that time. Then
I went and deposited the
Draft with FEDEX COURIER COMPANY, Cotonou, Benin Republic before I travelled
out of the country
for a 3 Months Course ..
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX 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 and Clearance Certificate
Fee of the Cheque
showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack
in your Country.
The only money you will send to the Courier & Security Company to deliver
your Draft direct to
your postal Address in your country is ($100.00 US) one hundred 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 $100.00 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 COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery of your
Draft with this
information bellow;
Contact Person:James Akaya
Telephone:+229 938 66119
Email Address:fedexcourriercompanyplc@yahoo.fr
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm the following infomation to them
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 address.
The infomations are;
1.YOUR FULL NAME;
2.YOUR AGE;
3.HOUSE/OFFICE ADDRESS
4.HOUSE / OFFICE PHONE NOS
5.A COPY OF YOUR PICT FOR IDDENTIFICATION
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail
to avoid any further
delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $100.00 US
Dollars for their
immediate action.Do let know immediately you recieves your package.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr Abdul Aziz
