Attn: Payment Notification,
This is to bring to your notice that, I have paid the re-activation fee and the delivery of your ATM.I paid it because the ATM Card 8119 1.5m used, has less than 3 days to expire and when it expires, the money will go into Government purse. With that I decided to help you pay the money so that, the ATM CARD will not expire, because I know when you get your ATM CARD definitely you must pay me back my money and even compensate me for helping you.
Now I want you to contact UPS Delivery Service with your Full Contact information’s so that they can deliver your Card to your designated address without any delay. Like I stated earlier, the delivery charges has been paid but I did not pay their official keeping fees since they refused. They refused and the reason is that they do not know when you are going to contact them and demurrage might have increase.
They told me that their keeping fee is $40usd so that is only money that you well pay to them so try and see that you send them the money so that there well send your ATM CARD to you.

Not a problem, my Nigerian Friends are still rioting after the fixed elections, so are too busy to collect the card themselves. Could you collect it for them. They will make it weel worth your while, I am sure.
You can put the proceeds behind the Bar at the Dog and Duck0 -
I can't believe you have got another one - surely you should be on the whole of Nigerias blacklist by now

I get 2-3 advance fee fraud e-mails every day, but they are dwarfed by up to 75 daily e-mails trying to sell me Viagra. I get far more scam e-mails into my business e-mail address than I do into a free e-mail account.
Amazingly, I hardly ever get any cold calls, but they maybe due to the fact my job involves cold-calling, so no-one can get through to me!0 -
Goodness, 52m x 46m, that must have taken some wrapping. :rotfl::rotfl:0

Well at least they didn't slaughter the English language as much as some of the posters on this board do!
That's quite a package though. An ATM card that could hide a Jumbo Jet? Useful stuff.0 -
That will be the gold card then0

Slow play and wo*** !;):rotfl:0 -
Ideal for slowing down those shopping sprees.0

Obvious scam - it's really a box full of Diplomats0

I imagine the cash machine would be about the size of Harrods.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
