My lad is supposed to be sending me an ATM card so I can, at long last, get possession of the fund he has promised me.
The latest email from the bank, however...

We are happy to inform you about our progress in securing the necessary paper needed to finalize the delivery of your atm card the accredited attorney of this bank obtained in your favour due to your unability and delay in your delivery. It is important to inform you that the banking laws and the recent I nternational/United Nations laws does not allow such atm packages to be airlifted and if it does,it must be confiscated and the pepetrators be prosecuted under the International/United Nations laws.The Galvanized package contains the sum of US$2,600,000 atm card payment avalaible at any atm withdraw center. |
My ATM card (measuring approx. 80mm x 55mm x 1mm) is being shipped to me in a galvinized envelope, apparently. I'm not surprised the delivery charges are so high. |

Well, if it has to be sent as Sea Cargo then I'm not surprised the container is galvanized to prevent corrosion.
You wouldn't want a rusty old card that gets stuck in the ATM slot, would you? |

Everyone knows that galvanized containers with ATM cards inside are exceedingly dangerous. No wonder the airlines refuse to carry them.
My bank only allows withdrawals of $200 a day. At that rate it would take 35 years to collect the full payment. |
