Attn: Dear friend,
Good day, How are you today? I am writing to inform you that I have
Paid for the delivery fee for your Bank Draft but the manager of Eco
Bank Benin told me that before the check will get to you that it will
expire. So i told him to cash $1.250 Million us-dollar, all the
necessary arrangement of delivering the $1.250Million us-dollar in
cash was made with GLOBAL TRUST COURIER COMPANY.
Be inform that there are some documents to be secure.The only fee you
have to send to them is $125 US dollar which will serve as the
insurance certificate and Affidavit certificate of ownershp of the the
fund fee to enable them deliver the parcel to you immediately.
Do contact them and let me know when you have receive your fund, below
is the needed information to enable them deliver your fund to you
immediately.
The story is somewhat confused as this message talks about contractors and next of kin. Could it be I am the next of kin to a contractor?
