The delivery charges are a little high because of the comprehensive insurance cover we have undertaken in case of loss, damage or theft of your highly sensitive parcel. We shall assume all responsibilities in case of any eventualities.

Be informed that we do not operate a Cash On Delivery {COD} service for parcels of this nature because of the required insurance.
Also Note that your parcel is bonded and protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to make any deduction before it is remitted to you. This means that our courier charges cannot be deducted from the prize. This is in accordance with section (13) 1n of the National Gambling Act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3rd July 1996 by the Constitutional Assembly, this is to protect winners and to avoid misappropriation of funds.
Do act accordingly and provide the requested information as soon as possible so that we can avoid any further delays in the delivery of your parcel.
On acknowledgement of this email, I will furnish you with information on how to make the required payments.
Thank your for your patronage and anticipated co-operation.
Warm regards,
Mr. Ken Bill
Head of Deliveries.
International Bonded Couriers.
This has to be a total ripoff according to other reports posted on this site.
