Greetings To You !!!
Hope this mail find's you in a perfect health,

Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I travelled out of the country for a 3 Months refresher Course and I will not come back till end of April 2010.
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date.
For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country except the security keeping fees which will be paid by you.
The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($150 USD) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.
Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $150 US Dollars.
I have to let you pay this yourself because I dont know when you will contact them and in case of dumorrage.
You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information below:

To avoid any mistake on the Delivery. And ask them to give you the tracking number after payment to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $150 US Dollars for their immediate action.
You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.
Sincerely,

Scam: Enter this sweepstakes but there is an entry fee.
These people pray on the needy. I could win a million and it only cost me 20 bucks. Play the lottery and I mean the state lottery. At least least you know you'll be paving roads in your state.
Scam: I need your help please.
This one is sick! You will receive an email from a church or pastor and ask you in the name of God to help them. Its just amazing to think there is somebody that low on the food chain. Other examples or excuses, I have cancer, a limited time to live, my wife is dying. It goes on and on and on. Here is a good example. This is a person I really know. They publish a magazine I advertise in. She is in the UK and was robbed. She needs money fast. See how tricky they get. They just worked a little harder to get at my heart and wallet. This one came to my inbox, not junk mail.
