Here’s another one saying the money is deposited with an express delivery company. You only have to look at the e-mail address to see it’s a fake.

Dear Friend,
Good day, I have been waiting for you since to come down here and pick your Bank Draft but did not heard from you since that time. I went to the bank to confirm whether the draft is getting close to expire and the director of the bank told me that before the draft will get to your address, that it will expire. Then I told him to help me and cash the cashier bank draft of $1,200,000,00 (One Million Two Hundred Thousand US Dollars), Us Dollars to cash payment, However, I have successfully cashed the draft and packaged it in a box and have registered it in the GLOBAL SECURITY OURIER SERVICE COMPANY (GES) here in Benin Republic because I will travell to see my boss and will not come back till next month end,
You have to contact the GLOBAL SECURITY COURIER SERVICE COMPANY (GES) FOR YOUR PACKAGE to know when they will deliver your package to your address. I have paid for the delivering charges ok. Here is GLOBAL SECURITY COURIER Contact Address; Telephone Number, +22997046911 MR.HENRY JECOBS E-mail:( express.courier49@yahoo.fr )
Please, Send them your contacts information to able them locate you immediately they arrived in your country with your BOX , This is the information they need from you,
1. YOUR FULL NAME. 2. YOUR HOME ADDRESS. 3. YOUR CURRENT MOBILE NUMBER. 4. YOUR CURRENT OFFICE TELEPHONE. 5. A COPY OF YOUR PICTURE.
Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increasing the security keeping fees. I gave them your delivering address but you have to reconfirm it to them again to avoid any mistake in the delivery,
Note; I didn’t tell the GLOBAL SECURITY COURIER SERVICE COMPANY (GES) that the box contained money, I registered it as a package of an African cloths. This is to avoid delaying or any upfront problem during the delivery, So do not let them know that the package contains money, Do let me know as soon as you received your package.
You will get in touch with me through e-mail as my phone is no longer available now that I am out from our country. Thanks and Remain Blessed. AGU BELLO
If there really is such a name, us humble Europeans would have a hard time trying to guess where it comes from.
The story he’s telling is the one with Global Max Couriers. Remember that one?
I don’t believe he’s in Germany, but it sounds good doesn’t it?

Anybody know what Mrss. means? It could be it’s a new title like Mister. Or maybe it’s just a spelling mistake.
Other than further spelling mistakes, it’s interesting to note the use of “Evangelist”. Here in Europe or the US titles like this are not used. Maybe in Africa it is used similarly to Reverend or Pastor. Whatever the case, using this title is designed to give the message a trustworthy note. The crux of the matter is the question “Would you give a stranger with a religious title more trust than someone without a title?”.

THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINED UNCLAMED AFTER FIVE YEARS, THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND.
THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER, AND A BURKINABE CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
