CONTACT THIS COURIER COMPANY FOR YOUR CHECK DRAFT
My Dear Friend,
I have been waiting for you since regarding your Cashier Bank Draft
worth USD$1.2Million before I leave Cotonou Benin Republic but you did
not show face and I did not heard from you since that time, then I
went and deposited the Draft with CENTRAL MAIL EXPRESS & DIPLOMATIC
COURIER COMPANY there in my country Benin Republic.
Please for your informations ,I travelled to Japan to see my boss as
he instructed me and will not come back till next month end, Please
You have to contact the Impex Security & Diplomatic Courier Company to
know when they will deliver your package to you there in your country,
I have paid for the delivering charges and insurance fee.
The only money you have to send to them is their security keeping fee
which is $95.00 Us Dollars to received your package I agreed with them
that you will pay the $95.00 Don't be deceived by any body because I
paid for the delivery fee befor e t h ey accepted the Cashier Bank
draft and was told that after one week you will pay the Security
keeping fee which is only $95.00 , DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY IS :
Mr.John David.E-mail: centralexpress65@yahoo.fr
Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increasing the
security keeping fee.I gave them your delivering address but you have
to reconfirm it to them again to avoid any mistake in the delivering.
Let me know as soon as you receive your Cashier Bank Draft,And I am
very sorry for any inconvinence this might have caused you but
remember that it was'nt my fault because I waited for you to come down
before I was called by my Director and don't be deceived by anyone ,
The amount you have to send to them is $95.00 only.
Thanks
Mr.John Zik
