Aw, man. All I'm getting is $1.95 million. Or $1.95, it's hard to tell.

Dear friend,

How are you today ?.I'm writing to inform you that I have Paid the fee for your Draft Cheque. Yesterday, I went to the bank to confirm if the Cheque has expired or getting near to expire and Mr.Allen Thomas the Director of HSBC BANK told me that before the cheque will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to cash the $1.950,000.00, to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of December 2009.. What you have to do now is to contact the DHL Express Courier as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you immediatey.For your information, I have paid for the yellow tag fee and delivery Charge.

The only money you will send to the DHLCourier to deliver your Consignment Package direct to your postal Address in your country is US$106 One Hundred & Six United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee for the DHL Service so far. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of dumourrage on your Package with them.

Please write a letter of application to the given address below:

Company Name: DHL EXPRESS COURIER
Manager.Nelson kessier Febian
Email: dhl.express@administrativos.com
Contact Tel: +229-93-80-66-48

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address,nearest local and international airport, Direct telephone number contact address and picture or id to avoid wrong delivery, they will issue you a delivery code#, to enable you track your consignment box 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 $106.00 for their immediate action to deliver urgently. Note this. The DHLCourier don't know the contents of the Box Package. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not know the contents was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don't let them know that box contains money ok.

Thanks and More Blesssing.

Well, I don't rate millions (apparently) but I have gotten about 50 Emails (from DHL...) about a Sony laptop that I never ordered that isn't/hasn't/can't be delivered.

They're all quite insistent that I open the attached shipping document (.zip) to read/print/infect myself with the details.

The one I posted looks to not be a typo - I have gotten several emails with the same odd typing. I'm betting if I send the people in that message the $106, DHL may indeed deliver a box to me with a check for $1.95 in it! New day, new scam!

I thought I was being taught a new word dumourrage. But really I was just reintroduced to an friend of a word, demurrage. Some much for Sesame Scam.
