Hello Dear,

I have Paid the fee for your Cheque Draft.but the bank manager told me that before the check will get to you that it will expire.So i told him to cash $4.5M USD all the necessary arrangement of delivering the $4.5M USD in cash
was made with FEDEX COURIER COMPANY.This in the information they need to deliver your package to you.

What you have to do now is to contact FEDEX COURIER SERVICES as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you because ofthe expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the Diplomat V.IP box,delivering Charges and Insurance premium.

The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICES to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is only their Security Keeping Fee, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except Security Keeping Fees, which must be a token. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.

Contact Fedex Delivery office with the following Co-ordinate below:

Note. The Fedex Courier Company don't know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a Box of an Christian books/materials. They don't know it contents money. this is to avoid them delaying with the Box. don't let them
know that is money that is in that Box.I am waiting for your urgent response.You can even call the Director of Fedex Courier company with this line +229-97419782

Thanks and Remain Blessed.

    Of course it's a scam

    Fedex are hardly likely to have email addresses with gmail.com or yahoo.

    As well as other reasons!

    I hope your tongue was firmly in your cheek when you typed that?

    If not, please pack the computer away before you hurt yourself!

    You think it's a scam?!? The Director of Fedex sends you a mail regarding a parcel containing $4.5million in cash, and you think it might be a scam!?!

    Unbelievable! :rotfl:

    its real, honest! some random person has sent you $4.5mil and you just need to pay "security keeping fees" to get it. If you send this money to me, I will be happy to forward the $4.5mil to you. please send an envelope stuffed with cash to me at: PObox 1, scam street, con city, Nigeria.
