GOOD DAY!!!!!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SINCE TO CONTACT ME FOR YOUR CONFIRMABLE BANK DRAFT OF $3.2MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS, BUT I DID NOT HEAR FROM YOU SINCE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW. THEN I WENT TO THE BANK TO CONFIRM IF THE DRAFT HAS EXPIRED OR GETTING NEAR TO EXPIRE AND DR.WILSON THE DIRECTOR BANK OF AFRICA TOLD ME THAT BEFORE THE DRAFT WILL GET TO YOUR HAND THAT IT WILL EXPIRE. SO I TOLD HIM TO CASH THE $3.2MILLION USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS TO CASH PAYMENT TO AVOID LOSING THESE FUNDS UNDER EXPIRATION AS I WILL BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR A 3 MONTHS COURSE AND I WILL NOT COME BACK TILL ENDING OF MARCH 2008.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS TO CONTACT FEDEX COURIER SERVICES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO KNOW WHEN THEY WILL DELIVER YOUR CONSIGNMENT TO YOU BECAUSE OF THE EXPIRING DATE. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I HAVE PAID FOR THE DELIVERING CHARGE, INSURANCE PREMIUM.
THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL SEND TO THE FEDEX COURIER SERVICES TO DELIVER YOUR CONSIGNMENT DIRECT T O YOUR POSTAL ADDRESS IN YOUR COUNTRY IS($198.00 US) UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY BEING SECURITY KEEPING FEE OF THE COURIER COMPANY SO FAR. 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 FEDEX COURIER SERVICES NOW FOR THE DELIVERY OF YOUR DRAFT WITH THIS INFORMATION BELLOW;
DIRECTORS NAME: DR.DAVID JOHNSON
COMPANIES NAME: FEDEX COURIER SERVICES
EMAIL ADDRESS: fedexexpress07@live.com
TEL/FAX: 002348059946954
FINALLY, MAKE SURE THAT YOU RECONFIRM YOUR POSTAL ADDRESS AND DIRECT TELEPHONE NUMBER 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. 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 $198.00 US DOLLARS FOR THEIR IM MEDIATE ACTION.
NOTE THIS. THE FEDEX COURIER SERVICES DON'T KNOW THE CONTENTS OF THE BOX. I REGISTERED IT AS A BOX OF AFRICA CLOTHS. THEY DID NOT KNOW THE CONTENT WAS MONEY. THIS IS TO AVOID THEM DELAYING WITH THE BOX. DON'T LET THEM KNOW THAT BOX CONTENTS MONEY OK.
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
KULMA YINKA
