Subject: ATM PAYMENT FOR YOU.
Dear Friend
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your loaded ATM CARD of
$950.000.00 United States Dollars which we discussed and you can withdraw
the money in an ATM MACHINE in any part of the world and the maximum you can
withdraw a day is $2,000,but I did not hear from you since that time ,Then I
went and deposited the package ATM CARD with Courier Express Delivering
Company ,Accra, Ghana as I traveled out of the country for a short Course
and I will not come back till end of third quarter of the year 2008. What
you have to do now is to contact the Courier Express Delivering Company as
soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because
of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering
Charges, and Clearance Certificate Fee of the ATM CARD showing that it is
not a Drug Money nor to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country, The only
money you will send to the Courier company to deliver your ATM CARD direct
to your postal Address in your country is ($150) One Hundred & Fifty United
States Dollars only being their Security Keeping Fees of the Courier Company
so far. Again, Don't be deceive by anybody to pay any other money except
$150.00,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
Courier Express Delivering Company manager for the delivery of your ATM CARD
package with this information bellow.
HERE IS THE COURIER EXPRESS DELIVERING COMPANY INFORMATION'S.
COURIER NAME: COURIER EXPRESS DELIVERING COMPANY.
CONTACT PERSON: MOBUTU SESE.
POSITION: FOREIGN DELIVERY DEPARTMENT.
E-MAIL :(mobutusese01@yahoo.com )

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your full name, your Postal address or
your home 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 remember to pay them their Security Keeping fees
of $150 for their immediate action. As a matter of facts, make sure as the
rightful beneficiary of the ATM CARD package of $950,000.00,you must contact
them by indicating the code (2661428) to enable them deliver the ATM package
as they have it in their record.
Yours sincerely,
