Subject: CONTACT FEDEX COURIER COMPANY FOR YOUR DELIVERY
Hello Dear,
I have Paid the fee for your Cheque Draft.but the manager
of Central Bank of West Africa told me that before the check will get to
you that it will expire. So i told him to cash $850,000.00 all the
necessary arrangement of delivering the $850,000.00 in cash was made
with FEDEX EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY This in the information they need to
delivery your package to you.The only money you will send to the Courier
Company to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in
your country is ($105.00 US) One Hundred & 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 demurrage.
