Re;Indicate This Code (011827) To FedEX Express Co!
Attention; Please!
I have been waiting for you since regards your Bank draft of $2.5million
Usd)
but i did not hear from you since that time.
So I decided to deposite It with FedEX Express Courier Company here to avoid
expiry.I suceeded in registering YourBank
Draft with FedEX Express Courier Company Limited. to make sure it will be
among of the parcel they will deliver this
week or next week and also I paid for Delivery and Insurance Charges for
the delivery of your Bank Draft.
Meanwhile the only money you will pay them is their Security Keeping Fee of
($85.00) to receive your Bank Draft. I would have
paid it but they refused for some reason, They adviced that the owner should
pay for the Security Charges to know the rightfuly owner of the Bank Draft.
What you have to do is to contact them with their information below;
Attn; Mr Ben Okoye.
