      Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to

      pay any other money except 200 United state dollars.
      I would have paid that but they refused, because they don't know when you will contact

      them and in case of demurrage.

      Lucky you - a trunk box. I always thought you had either a trunk or a box but hey! You have both.

      Well, Robert,

      The second one is obviously genuine because it mentions West Africa and it wouldn't do so if it was a scam :rolleyespink::happydance:

      But I wouldn't trust the first one because National Geographic is in Regent St and not in a shopping centre in Richmond Way. Also the phone number is a known Nigerian scam number. :mad:

      See, you have to be able to spot them like what I do! :heehee:

      Your not the only one. I ordered a sewing machine from a Midland firm, it arrived damaged. I sent it back and they say they didn't receive it. I didn't get my £70 back either. I bought an identical one (except for the name) from ALDI for £40.

      On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the Estate of late Luciano Pavarotti, I hereby attempt to reach you again. I wish to notify you that late Luciano Pavarotti made you a beneficiary to his will. He left the sum of Thirty-one Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only (USD$31,500,000.00 ) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will. This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true.

      Luciano Pavarotti was known for his humanitarian work. He was the founder and the host of the'Pavarotti & Friends' annual charity concerts and related activities in Modena, Italy. There he sang with international stars of all styles to raise funds for several worthy UN causes and charity homes. Pavarotti sang with Bono and U2 in the 1995 song Miss Sarajevo and raised $50,500,000 in his charity project 'Concert for Bosnia'.

      He also established and financed the Pavarotti Music Center in Bosnia, and raised funds in charity concerts for refugees from Afghanistan and for refugees from Kosovo. Pavarotti made two Guinness World Records one was for receiving the most curtain calls at and the other was for the best selling classical album of 'The Three Tenors in Concert' with Pl?cido Domingo and Joseph Carreras.

      Late Luciano Pavarotti until his death was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time, late Luciano Pavarotti died at the age of 71 years. According to him this money is to support your activities and to help the poor and the needy.

      Robert, you're certainly popular :). Everyone is leaving you money.

      Don't you find that a lot of people get jealous?

      It's interesting that Derek Woods from Falcon Chambers has sent you the email. Derek is head of Chambers and specialises only in residential and commercial property law. If he was handling that sort of bequest I would have thought he would offer it to me. :mad:

      I'll have a word with him about it when I see him at the Palace this afternoon.

      I don't want to do you out of your money but don't you think you have enough by now?
