Subject: CONTACT THE FEDEX COURIER COMPANY NOW
Dear Friend,
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your
Confirmable Bank Draft cheque of $800,000. United States Dollars, but I
did not heard from you since, for a couple of Months now.
Then, I went
to the bank to confirm if the draft is getting near to expire and
Mr.Wilson the Director of Financial Bank of Africa told me that before
the draft cheque will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told
him to cash the $800,000. 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 May
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 BENIN REPUBLIC to deliver your Consignment
direct to your postal Address in your country is only ($110.00 US) One
Hundred and Ten United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of
the Courier Company so far.
Directors Name: Dr. Jim Kater

Finally, Do not allowe
the Fedex to know the Content of the Consignment Box because if they do
know, it will cost you more money ok, and make sure that you reconfirm
your Postal address Full Name and Direct telephone number to them again
to avoid any mistake on the Delivery your Consignment to your Destinated
Address.I am waiting for your urgent response today.
