"My Dear Friend.

This is to bring to your notice that, I have paid the re-activation

fee and the delivery of your ATM Card. I paid it because the ATM-7221

US$4.2MILLION dollar, has less three weeks to expire and when it

expires, the money will divert and forfeited into Government purse

(account).With that I decided to help you pay the money so that, the

ATM will not expire, because I know when you get your ATM definitely

you must pay me back my money and even help me out.

Now I want you to contact DHL Express company 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 the demurrages might have being

increase. They told me that their keeping fees are $105 per day and I

deposited it yesterday. Below is their contact information,

Company Name: DHL Express Shipping Company

Email: ( dhlcompny@aol.com )

Contact Person: Mr OlayemI Olusona.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this

mail to avoid adding of the security keeping fee of $105 dollar per

day, please do contact them today to avoid increase of their keeping

fees and let me know once you receive your Card. Finally, make sure

that you reconfirm your mailing address and direct telephone number to

them to avoid wrong delivery or any mistake also send them their

security keeping fee of US$105 today to avoid increase of their

keeping fees.

I registered it as a wedding gift and they don't know it contents

valuable ATM Master Card this is to avoid them delaying with the

package. Don’t let them know that it contents valuable material.

SHIPMENT CODE: FDB 33XZS

PACKAGE REGISTERED CODE NO: XGT0283.

SECURITY CODE: SCTC//562326.
