Goodday!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable BankDraft
of $1,500.000.00 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 Mr.James Adams the Director Bank
of Africa told me that before the draft will get to your hands that it
will expire. So I told him to cash the $1,500.000.00 USD UNITED STATES
DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this 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 fevrier2008
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. For your
information, They accepted cash on delivery C.O.D But insisted that the
security fee most be paid before the delivery will commence.So the only
money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICES to deliver your Consignment
direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105.00 US)One Hundred
and Five 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 $105.00
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 dumorage.You have to contact
FEDEX COURIER SERVICES now for the delivery of your consignment with this
information bellow;
Directors Name: Rev. Maxwell Shargan
Companys Name: FEDEX COURIER SERVICES
Telephone.......+229-93861888 / 00229-97821283
Email Address: fedex.courier.service.benin001@gmail.com
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone
number to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to send your airway
bill and keep you updated on the arrival of your consignment 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 or increase in
the dumorage and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $105.00
US Dollars for their immediate 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 contents
was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Dont let them know
that box contents money please. Finally, Endaevour to indicate this CODE
(FD0081) which will prove that you are the owner of the Consignment i deposited
in there company, Hoping you have a good day.
Yours Faithfully,
DR BARRY DOM
