Interesting. After receiving the first of these announcements to me through my email, I started deleting them. They were coming at an average of one per day. The latest is reproduced for you in the following copy. It's compelling but requires you to give them $180. Up front to cover a Security Keeping fee. Take a look for yourself:

Greetings!
I have been waiting for you to contact me as regards your Bank Draft of $800,000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you. So I went and deposited the Draft with FedEx COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I traveled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till the end of March. 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. For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee for the Cheque showing that it is not Drug Money or money meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.
The only money you will send to the FedEx COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($180.00 USD) only; being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, do not be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $180.00 USD Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they do not know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact the FedEx COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information below;
Contact Person: Mr. Benny Blunt
Email Address: [email protected]. Hk
Customer care Telephone: 2348057547555.
Finally, make sure that you confirm your Postal address; Direct telephone number; Do send it to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number 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 $180.00 US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Virgil Storrs
This time, instead of asking for a lot of personal information as they have done in the past, they only asked for $180. Their catch praise to real in the unknowing is Fedex. Again, people like this should be caught and taken off of the internet forever.
