Subject: Re: Could You Be Trusted?
Attn: Concerned One,I am making this contact to you on the fact that we may be of
assistance to each other in developing a long lasting cordial business
relationship. I was moved by the recommendations made of your sincerity to handle a business relationship that involves huge money on trust. I was constrained by the sudden death of my husband, a private business man, a philanthronpist,who was leader in the shipping and aviation industry and previously before his death, Chairman of the Youths sports Federation of Nigeria in 1980, he died of Cancer.I am Mrs. Amina Dokun Adidoye, the only wife of the late Prince Dokun Adidoye . Prince Dokun Adidoye who died on December 14th 2004 after suffering from Cancer. With heart full of grief, I regret to inform you of the inhumane and harsh conditions which my husband's brother's have subjected I, and my Children. Since my husband's death, last year, the relatives have been wicked to us because of the following reasons:1. I am not from the same tribe with them.
2. My refusal to learn and speak their tribal language and dress like
other women from their tribe (Yoruba).
3. My refusal to accept their religion.
4. Because I have only one male child.
5. Because I was specially loved and favored by my late husband.I am absolutely tired of all these threats from my husband’s relatives
since the death of my husband. I am no longer in their Family house. I
am now in my husband's guesthouse, with my Family, I seriously need your kind assistance and co-operations. Few weeks before my husband's
death, he entrusted the cash sum of $75 million U.S dollars to my care for safe keeping in my apartment. After his death I acted fast to deposit it into a security vault in the village to avoid my husband's relations getting to see it in the house. This sum is secretly concealed in boxes.Now I solicit your assistance to accept this sum for self-keeping.
This I cannot lodge into a local bank account to avoid suspicion from the Government, my husband's brother's since they have Confiscated all that is left by my husband and still places eyes on me if they could lay hands on more including cash as they have left me and my children
without any cash. If you can accept this, I urge you to contact us
immediately for us to brief you on arrangement on how we can possibly
handle this. As a necessity you will also assist us in buying a good
building in your city as we are presently in the guesthouse. Since I am
interested in investing on Farm, Estate development, Shares/stock exchange market and in the shipping Industries. I will like you to
educate me on your country's companies Income -tax policies, as a citizen since my husband's oil allocation from Federal Government is still in force.
Considering what you will take from the total sum as commission, you
will have to discuss this with my personal lawyer. Obviously, you will be our (Myself and family) next of kin while in your country.I expect you to give this a quick and urgent attention while I expect
your response for more briefing from me, But if on the other hand you
consider your self not capable and fit of handling this because of the
volume of cash involved, you can hold confidential by informing me,
hence I may approve your contact of any of your trusted close confidant you feel can keep this confidential and capable of handling such because of his level of knowledge in investment and cash flow in business.Remember the confidentiality, as this is not for any third party,
hence this should remain between you, my personal Attorney and myself alone. As I said before, I regret to inform you of the inhumane and harsh conditions which my husband’s brother's have subjected I, and my Children. Since my husband death, the relatives have been wicked to us in that family.
Please on your readiness to assist us, since i cannot communicate with
you by phone, due to where I am now with my family, so for secrecy and
privacy, kindly respond to this proposal by communicate to my lawyer,
Barrister Harms .H. Heersmink at: harms_heersmink@mail.azfor detail procedures and arrangements so far. I hope to hear from you soon.Best regards,Mrs. Amina Dokun Adidoye
