Attn;My Dear,
How are you today? I am writing to inform you that I
have Paid the fee for your Cheque Draft. And I went to the bank to
confirm if the Cheque has expired or getting near to expire and Mrs
Sandra Matthew the Director of Central Bank of West African
States(BCEAO) told me that before the cheque will get to your hand that
it will expire. So I told her to cash the $800 eight hundred thousand US
Dollars to cash payment to avoid losting this funds.
However, all the
necessary arrangement of delivering the $800 eight hundred thousand US
Dollars in cash was made with FEDEX COURIER SERVICES COMPANY LTD. in
Cotonou Benin Republic,
Be inform that the only money you are going to
pay is the SECURITY KEEPING FEE OF $120 Dollars only which is the
offical keeeping fee of your consignment.
