*DEAR FRIEND
We have been waiting for you since to contact us for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of ($1.500.000) United States Dollars which i kept for you but i did
not hear from you since that time.
Then 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 told me that
before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire.
So I told him to cash the ($1.500,000)USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash
payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out out of
the country for a 5 Months Course and I will not come back till end
of november 2008.
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY as
soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you
because of the expiring date.For your information, I have paid for the
delivering Charge, Insurance premium.
The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your
Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105.00 US)
One Hundred & Five United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of
the Courier Company so far.
Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except ($105.00
US)US 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 EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery
of your Consignment with this information bellow;
Email Address:(*fedexexpressdecmpny@live.com
<fedexexprescompny@live.com><fedexexprescompny@live.com>

Tel: +22993421743.
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address, Direct telephone
number,your country/state and age/sex to them to avoid any mistake on the
Delivery and ask them to give you the( AIR WAY BILL) information to enable
you know when your Consignment will get to your address.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to
avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee
of ($105.00 US) Dollars for their immediate action.
Note this. The FEDEX EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY company don't know the
containts of the Box. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did
not know the contents was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the
BOX. Don't let them know that box contents money ok.*
*I am waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,*
*MR PAUL IBEH**
