Dear friend,
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.
Find FedEx Contact Information Below: ==================================== Contact Officer: Mr. Collins Oliver E-mail: fedexdispatchcenter@live.com Tel: +234 802 943 2675
Shipment Code: CPEL/OWN/9856 Parcel Number: EG2272-NG
Kindly Re-confirm the Dispatch Information for the Delivery by providing the Information stated Below:

Once again,Insurance and delivery charges have been paid for, but the only fee remaining is the security safe keeping fee of $198 USD which you will be required to pay. Also note that Fedex Services do not know the content of the parcel,I registered it as an African magazine,they do not know it contains ATM MASTERCARD inside. The ATM MASTERCARD has pin number 8346.
Best Regards Barr. Greg Williams
