Realizing now the picture is small, this is what it says

Hello,
It is my pleasure to inform you that I have carried out the payment of $575.00 via PayPal, i just got a receipt from Paypal so if you haven't please check your spam now, am sure you must have been notified also. I want to sent it to my Sister for her Birthday present. she works in the american embassy in Nigeria. I would have asked you to post it to my eBay address but am currently on a business trip. Here is the delivering address.

Adetoun jessy
12,Hope street,
Agege,
Lagos State.
23401
Nigeria

I want you to ship the item to the address via USPS EXPRESS MAIL FIRST CLASS SERVICE today before the post office is closed so that the item will get there as soon as possible and i added $100 for posting to Nigeria but i think shipping to Nigeria shouldn't be up to that. Please get back to me ASAP with the shipping tracking number of the item shipped.

NOTE: Please wrap the item carefully, write GIFT on the paper. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience I might cause you.
