Subject: YOUR PACKAGE IS READY FOR DELIVERY.
Dear Friend,
I have been waiting for you to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of
$1.5Million United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since that
time so i went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting
near to expire and Mr. Justin Yayi the Director Bank of Africa informed
methat before the draft will get to you,it will expire.I instructed him to
turn it to cash to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be
out of the country for 6 Months Course and I will not come back till end of
September 2008.
The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your
Consignment directly to your postal Address in your country is ($125.00 US)
One Hundred & Twenty-Five United States Dollars only for Security Keeping
Fee of the Courier Company so far.Again, do not be deceived by anybody to
pay any other extra charges except $125. 00 US Dollars. I would have paid it
but they refused because they do not know when you will be contacting them
and in case of demourrage.
Kindly contact the appointed office below.
Dispatch Officer: Mr.Mark Adams
Email Addres: fedex-courier@hotmail.fr
Tel/FAX: +229 93 44 24 01.
NOTE:FEDEX COURIER SERVICE does not know the actual contents of the
consignment because it was registered as gift items and Personal
belongings.They do not know it contains money so do not disclose it to them
to avoid charges and delays.
Yours Faithfully,
William Johnson.
