Linda at FedEx (not): Your payment is waiting

That's right. They don't know who you are or where you are, but they definitely have a cheque for you from somebody. They can't read the letter that came with it (you know.... privacy and all that), but they know there's a massive cheque in the package!

content of your package itself is a Bank Draft worth of $800,000.00

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 UnitedStates 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

your
country.

However, you will have to pay a sum of ?100 GBP which is equivalent to
$200 USD to the FedEx Delivery Department being full payment for the

Security Keeping charges, but we do not accept such payments considering the

the package or even respond to us. So we cannot take the risk to have
accepted such a payment incase of any possible demurrage. Kindly note
that your colleague did not leave us with any further information.
