Subject: Contact courier for the delivery of your draft today.
Dear Friend,
I have been waiting for you to come down here and pick your Bank Draft which my boss kept with me for your compensation in trying to assist him initially in his multi-million business that he had concluded now with a new partner from Chile but I did not hear from you since that time. I went and deposited the Draft with Allied Parcel Express Services here in Benin Republic, because I want to travel to Chile to see my boss and will not come back till next month end. So I want you to contact Allied Parcel Express Services, Benin Republic to know when they will deliver your package/Draft.
NOTE:I have paid for the delivering charges and insurance fee on your behalf.The only money you have to send to them is their security keeping fee which is only US$100.00 Dollars only to receive your package as they told me. Dont be deceived by any body. Below is their Contact Address:
Contact Person/Director Parcel Despatch: Dr. Frank Taylor.Company: Allied Parcel Express Services (APES),Benin Republic. Company's E-mail address: alliedparcel_expressservices@yahoo.fr
Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increasing the security keeping fee. I gave them your delivering address but you have to reconfirm your infos to them such below to avoid any mistake in the delivering.
1.Your full name.2.Your telephone number.3.Your address where to you can easily receive your bank draft.4.Security fee of US$100 only.
Wish you good luck as you comply to this directive.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Linda Gayus.
