Goodday,

I just want to inform you that i have packaged and deposited your ATM
MASTERCARD worth $800,000,00 USD with FedEx Delivery Services to deliver
it to you, due to i have waited enough to hear from you so that your funds
will be transfered through CENTRAL BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) here to your
personal account, but because of the late response,I now decided to
deposit the ATM MASTER CARD and placed it for delivery with the fedex
delivery services because it also eaiser and safer. Insurance and delivery
charges have been paid for, but the only fee remaining is the security
safe keeping fee of $185,00 USD which you will be required to pay before
delivery, so you are to contact them on how you are to remit the fee to
them so they can release your package and deliver it to you which will
take 2 working days to get to you. I am going out of Nigeria to IRAQ for a
period of 4 months to see my boss.

However, this was not paid for because of demurrage. Well, I did forward
them your delivery address, but a re-confirmation is important when
contacting them if you want to change your address. I advice you quote the
parcel and shipment code to them for onward delivery to your re- confirmed
address.The ATM MASTERCARD has pin number 8876. Take note, once you
receive the card you take it to any ATM cashpoint around your area and
slot it in and enter the pin code for withdrewal, the amount
you can be able to withdrew per day is $20,000.00 USD (Twenty Thousand
United State Dollars) each day.

Forward the following when contacting FedEx Delivery Services:

Once again, the Fedex delivery services do not know the content of the
parcel, I registered it as an African magazine they don't know it contains
ATM MASTERCARD inside, this is to avoid them delaying the delivery and
besides I don't want you to lose your inherittance funds.
