Subject: You have to contact the ZENITH COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery of your Draft
*Dear Friend,*
*I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of 1.2 million United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you for
a very long time now. Then I went and deposited the Draft with ZENITH
COURIER COMPANY HERE IN ABUJA NIGERIA, before I travelled out of the country
for a 3 Months Course which will end on August 2008.What you have to do now
is to contact the ZENITH COURIER COMPANY ABUJA as soon as possible to know
when they will deliver your package to you before the expiration date of the
bank draft.
For your information, I have paid the delivering Charges and Insurance
fees.The only money you will send to the ZENITH to deliver your Draft direct
to your postal Address in your country is ($95.00 US) Ninety Five United
States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fees.Again, don't be deceived by
anybody to pay any other money except $95.00 US Dollars. I would have paid
that but they refused because they don't know when you will contact them for
the shipping due to the delay deumorage charges.
