This is a scam. Please do not send £160. The promised cheque does not exist. You will not receive any money.
Note also that FedEx does not use a telephone number beginning +4470 as this scam mail pretends. A telephone number beginning +4470 is a Redirect number, redirecting your call to the scammer's own phone - in this case, probably in Nigeria, where this email was sent from.

Subject: Contact Fedex for the Delivery of your Cheque
I am Mother Emilly Olivier, 87 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir Jackman Olivier who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva.Please see site below for more information.http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair. ... index.html. After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now I am old. Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several charity homes/less privilege in different countries. I and my husband also agreed to render support to an unknown individual we have not met before due to the fact that when we were still young in life we received an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not being able to know till date.
Three weeks ago I deposited a cheque in the sum of £800,000.00 British Pound with FedEx EXPRESS COURIER SERVICE to deliver to you upon your contact with them, but I was unable to notify you timely because of my ill health, Contact the COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date on the cheque. I have paid the delivering cost, the Insurance premium and clearance Certificate fee. The only money you are expected to pay is £160 British Pounds for the Security Keeping of the cheque for three weeks. I would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don't know when you will be contacting them and to avoid further cost.
