Greetings!!!
I have been waiting for you to contact me for your Bank Draft worth
US$850,000.00 United States Dollars (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United
States Dollars), issued by the Federal Ministry of Finance but I did not
hear
from you all this while.
I have deposited the Draft with BULLGUARD SECURITY SERVICE (BSS), West
Africa.
I traveled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not be back
until completion of my 3 months course. What you have to do now is to
contact
the BULLGUARD SECURITY SERVICE immediately to know when they will deliver
your
package to you because of the expiring date.
For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charge, Insurance premium
and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Draft showing that it is not a Drug
Money
or meant to sponsor Terrorism attack in your Country. Again, don't be
deceived
by anybody to pay any money for the shipment of your certified Bank Draft.
To avoid demurrage charge, you have to contact the BULLGUARD SECURITY
SERVICE
now for the delivery of your Bank Draft with this information below:
Contact Agent: Thomas Hardy
Email Address: mrthardy@myway.com

Reconfirm the below information to the agent:
1. Full Names:

Request for the tracking number of the package to enable you track and know
when it will get to your address. Let me repeat again, try to contact them
immediately you receive this mail to avoid any delay and immediate delivery.
You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Bank
Draft.
