Company to know when they will deliver your package. I have paid for
the delivering charges and insurance fee.The only money you have to
send to them is there security keeping fee which is $96.00 Us Dollars
to received your package.

This is their Contact Address, Contact Hon.Odiriga Mike.
Director of the courier delivery company Benin Republic.
E-mail:(info_royalcourriercompany@yahoo.fr )
Phone number 229-93413717.

Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increasing the
security keeping fee and also give them your contact delivering address
to avoid any mistake on the delivering. Let me know immediately you

haha, I get tons like that, but I don't read them very often. You can usually tell by the names people makeup as a sender , like it will say a famous name or if you put both names together it spells something dirty, etc. Most business also, do not have an email at yahoo, like that one above. It will be a corporate email address. But they are funny to read, the sad thing is that some people actually fall for them.
