Subject: Make contact to FedEx company for urgent delivery!
Goodday Dear Customer,
I write to notify you that the draft payment of your compensation fund
issued by our boss before he travelled abroad is now deposited with FedEx
courier services for onward delivery to you because, i waited but, did not
hear from you since after our boss untimely dearth in Mumbai hospital, India
where he was flown for medication, i hope you are aware of this sad
development that he suddenly died of recent frm high Bp.during an operation
of open heart surgery which he have had overthere. And, now that his final
funeral/burial has been concluded just a week past, I hurried up to the bank
to confirm about sending it upon my discovering of your E-mail address but,
the Bank Manager advised that before the draft will get to your hand that it
will get expired. So,
I told him to convert a part payment of US$550,000.00 in cash payment and
i'm glad it's now deposited with Fedex delivery company here in Benin to
avoid loosing this funds under expiration.
So, make urgent contact to FedEx company and arrange with them on how to
send your consignment safely to your current house address/location because,
I 'm set to travel there in China to see to his interest in a joint bizness
investment.
But, I have paid the delivery charges, the only money you need to pay Fedex
company is $95.00 usd Security Keeping Fee as Director has said. Because, I
wanted to pay it but, they refused pointing out that they don't know when
you will contact them to avoid demorrage. I advise you to call or write
Fedex Director by email and make sure to re-confirm your Full
name.....Address.....Phone No.....and Occup.....sex ... to avoid any mistake
on the delivering.
