We have been waiting for you to contact us for your Confirmed Package containing an ATM Debit Cash Card Number 7876310003001420 Valued at $2.3 Million United States Dollars that was registered with us for shipping to your residential address in your country. We thought that the United Nations/World Bank Organization gave you our contact details and that you would have contacted us by now. We would also let you know that a letter is also attached to your package which the United Nations/World Bank Organization stated to this company that you should present to the Bank alongside your ATM Debit Cash Card Number 7876310003001420. However, we cannot quote its content to you via E-mail for security reasons. We understand that the content of your package itself is an ATM Debit Cash Card Number 7876310003001420 Valued at $2.3 Million United States Dollars only; in FedEx we do not ship money in CASH or in CHEQUES.
The package was registered with us for mailing by the United Nations/World Bank Organization, We are sending you this E-mail because your package is been registered on a Special Order.
