Hello,

I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise,
but as things Unfold, we will know each other better.
I will start by introducing myself to you. I am Mrs.
Doris Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius
Obaseki, the Managing Director, and Chief Executive,
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).I am
really sure that you will be of a good assistance
after going Thoroughly through this letter.

For many years of marriage now between me and my
husband, I have not given birth and this has really
troubled my husband. As a result of the respect given
to local tradition culture and custom here in Nigeria,
my husband has decided to break the marriage. With the
situation of things with me now, my matrimonial home
look bleak.

I am been threatened daily by my husband to get out
from my matrimonial home. My Husbands brothers are not
left out in this matter. This situation has really
affected me psychologically. As at now, I am no longer
assured of my matrimonial home, hence I seek Your
urgent assistance and help which I know will go a long
way in getting me settled finally.

I want to use this opportunity to move the sum of
(US$12M)into your Custody for safe keeping pending my
arrival to your country. This said amount was given to
my husband as gratification from some Foreign Oil
Companies he helped in getting Allocation for the
Drilling of Crude Oil in Nigeria. As a civil servant,
he does not want to be exposed,hence he gave me this
money to keep in my personal account so that he can be
exonerated from the eyes of government security
operatives and the Civil Service Commission (CSC)
which is a body that scrutinizes the activities of all
civil servants in Nigeria as checks and balances for
official misconduct.

Be informed that this money is not connected with
drugs, money laundry,Firearms and looting,the source
of this said money is clean and clear. This money was
Deposited in my personal name and there is no way it
can be transferred telegraphically under the banking
procedures here which could have been the easiest, but
because of monetary transfer restriction by the
Federal Government I have arranged with a diplomat
manager to move this money out in cash to any
destination where it will be easy for you to collect
the money under diplomatic immunity which he has
assured me of.

As a soon as I see your response and Willingness to
help as regards to this, I will furnish you on the
next line of action to take, but be rest assured that
this transaction is 100% risk free, and my husband
will not raise any alarm because he will not like to
put himself, his job and office in jeopardy, and if he
does, he stands the chance of loosing his job.As soon
as this money is moved to you, and you confirm to me
that you have received it, I will be coming to meet
you up there in your country Where I wish to live and
invest my own share of the money into a good business
through your assistance.

I will be offering you 20% of this money for all your
help at this time of need, while some percentages has
been set aside for my Brother to Complement His
efforts here.Be informed that this transaction will
not last more than 14 working Days and it will be
concluded because every arrangement has been put in
place with the diplomat. Your negative or positive
response will be highly appreciated.

NOTE: You should only reply me and always contact me
on this my private email address:
obasekidoris@yahoo.co.uk

Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Doris Obaseki
