Subject: FEDEX EXPRESS IS READY TO DELIVER YOUR CONSIGNMENT.
Goodday!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable
Bank Draft, but I did not hear from you since for a couple of weeks
now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or
getting near to expire and Dr.Wilson 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 draft to cash payment to avoid losing this
funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months
Course and I will not come back till ending of OCTOBER 2008.
What you have to do now is to contact FEDEX EXPRESS COURIER SERVICES
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.
You have to contact FEDEX EXPRESS COURIER SERVICES now for the
delivery with this information below;
Directors Name: Mr. Lolo Briggs
CompanysName: Fedex COURIER SERVICES
Email Address:(info_fedexcourierservice@ubbi.com)
Tel: +229 93 20 23 66
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery
and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your
package over there and know when it 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 again remember that i
have payed for the delivery and insurance premium.
Note this. The FEDEX EXPRESS COURIER SERVICES don't know the contents
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. DonÂt let them know that box contents money
ok.
I am waiting for your urgent response.
