I received the same e-mail informing me about the same parcel. All I had to do was send $175 for cetificates to release it to me and I would have it in as little as two days. This package is supposedly already at customs. I was also asked to send my phone number and address so the package does go to the wrong person. This was asked after it has already gotten to customs. If there was a package with all this money in it, wouldn't you think they would wire it to an account for you? After all, it is already in their bank. Why not wire it to an open account and save the hassle of a package through customs with money in it?
i believe almost all of such stories were made by Muslim
