This guy goes as far as calling you “friend” — when in reality, you don’t even know him at all. Anyway, you’re supposed to contact a “director” with your personal details before sending your funds. It’s a scam.

Below is a copy of the email:

My friend, what happened?
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $1.5Million Dollars, but I did not hear from you since for a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and Mr.Wilson the Director EcoBank told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire.So I told him to Convert the $1.5Million DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid loosing the funds under expiration as I will be out of the country tomorrow for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till ending of January 2009.
All the delivery arrangement has been made with FEDEX COURIER SECURITY COMPANY AGENCE BENIN So you have to contact them and send your information to DIRECTOR of the Company MR GODWIN BOLAJI to enable him instruct on the Delivery to your Address, as you can understand that government of the country will seize the fund if I transfer it direct to your account.
Contact them with the below information and they will instruct you on how you will receive the box, do complywith them and let me know when you receive the box.
Name: Mr.GODWIN BOLAJI
