Greetings!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable
BankDraft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars,but I did not hear from
you since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with FedEx
COURIER
SERVICE,West Africa,I travelled out of the country for a 3 Months
Courseand I will not come back till end of June. What you have to
do
now is to
contact the FedEx COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when
they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For
your
information, I have paid for the delivering Charge,Insurance premium
and
Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a
Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.
The only money you will send to the FedEx COURIER SERVICE to deliver
your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($200.00
USD)only being Security
Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again,don't be deceived by
anybody to pay any other money except $200.00 USD 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. You have to contact the FedEx COURIER
SERVICE
now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;
Contact
Person: Mr. Jones Darry
Email Address: fedexcourier.02@live.com

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address; Direct
telephone number; Do send it to them again to avoid any mistake on the
Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you
track your package over there and know when it will get to your
address.
