Dear Friend,
It has been long we communicated last, am so sorry for
thedelay,
I mean your cheque of ($800.000.00) that my boss asked me to
mail to you as soon as you request for, but due to some minor issue you
fails to respond at the aproprate time, and presently the cheque is
with me here in BENIN REPUBLIC.
Though I had a new contact from a
friend of mine who works with one of the global basic delivery Company
here in BENIN REPUBLIC that will deliver your cheque at your door step
with a cheeper rate, which the company said that it will cost you the
sum of ($95) us dollars, so you have to register with them now.
Below is
thier email address:
(globalbasic_co0b@yahoo.fr) and the Directors name
is Dr.Dominic peter.
Please do get back to me as soon as you have
contacted the global basic Company in my Email(celeedu01@yahoo.fr) so I
can be able to submit your cheque to them for immidiate delivery of your
cheque .
Thank you.
Mr Cele.
