Dear Customer,
We have been waiting for you to contact us for your Package that is been registered with us for shipping to your
residential location. We had thought that your sender gave you our contact details. It may interest you to know
that a letter is also added to your package. However,we cannot quote its content to you via email for privacy
reasons. We understand that the content of your package itself is a Bank Draft worth of $900,000.00 (Nine Hundred
Thousand US Dollars). As you know, FedEx does not ship money in CASH or in CHEQUES but BANK DRAFTS are shippable.
The package is registered with us for mailing by your colleague as claimed,and your colleague explained that he
is from the United States but he is here in Nigeria for a three (3) month Survey Project as he works with a
construction firm in Nigeria West Africa .. We are sending you this email because your package is been registered
on a Special Order.What you have to do now, is to contact our Delivery Department for immediate dispatch of your package to your
residential address. Note that as soon as our Delivery Team confirms your information,it will take three (3)
working days (72Hrs) for your package to arrive its designated destination. For your information, the VAT &
shipping charges as well as Insurance fees have been paid by your colleague before your package was registered.
Note that the payment that is made on the Insurance, Premium & Clearance Certificates, are to certify that the
Bank Draft is not a Drug Affiliated Fund (DAF) neither is it funds to sponsor Terrorism in your country.This will help you avoid any form of query from the Monetary Authority of your country. However, you will have to
pay a sum of $200 to the FedEx Delivery Department being full payment for the Security Keeping Fee of the FedEx
Company as stated in our privacy terms & condition page. Also be informed that your colleague wished to pay for
the Security Keeping charges, but we do not accept such payments considering the fact that all items & packages

No worries :) I can't wait to see what they'll think of next. I wonder if FedEx (or other courier agencies) are aware of this?

I am very surprised that people still fall for this scam. I mean there are so many red flags that should have gone off upon reading this. I guess the $900,000 puts some people in a state such that their brain has totally shut off its ability to reason..

Since when does FedEx allow people to ship packages but not allow them to pay the charges? Wow, what a bunch of crap. The yahoo email is hilarious too. It really is sad that people fall for these things.
