Republic, because I travelled to paraguay to see

I have paid for the delivery charges and insurance fee.The only money
you have to send to them is their
security keeping fee which is $98.00
US Dollars to received your package.This is their Contact Address,
CONTACT PERSON; DR, WILLIAMS ABADA.

Try to contact them as
soon as possible to avoid increasing the security keeping fee.I gave
them your delivery information but you have to
reconfirm it to them
again to avoid any mistake on the transfering.Inaddition the Diplomatic
Company doesn\'t know content of this package. So let me know
immediately you receive your Draft.
