Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 1:18 AM Subject: CONTACT FEDEX NOW!!! Good day! It is my pleasure to inform you that your Confirmable Bank Draft of $1,500,000.00 United States Dollars which my boss kept for you before he left, but i did not heard from you since that time. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and the Director of the Bank where the check was issued told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to cash the $1,500,000.00 to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for 3 Months Course and I will not come back until end of Oct 2008. What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you without delaying. And for your information, I have paid for the delivering Charges. The only money you will send to the FEDEX Courier Company to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($150.00 US) One Hundred & Fifty Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $150.00 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. Now contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY immediately for the delivery of your package with this information bellow: Contact Person: Email Address: 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 remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of ($150.00 US) Dollars for their immediate action. Note this. The FEDEX COURIER COMPANY don't know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a BOX of African cloths. Don't let them know that the contents of box is money ok this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Yours Faithfully,
