Subject: HELLO DEAR
Mrs. Roseline Obaseki
Flat 8 Block 12 NNPC Quarters
Garki Abuja Nigeria.
Hello Dear,
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. Roseline Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius
Obaseki,the recently retired 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 ure and custom here in Nigeria, my husband has
decided to break the marriage and I have
divorced from him. As at now,I am no longer Assured of a
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$18M)
into your custody for safe keeping, pending my arrival in
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 so that he can be exonerated
from the eyes of
government security operatives in Nigeria.
I contacted my direct sister who introduced an idea for me
which I followed.The money was then neatly packed in four
boxes and tagged as Diplomatic Documents and film
materials(PERSONAL EFFECTS).I then deposited the boxes for
save keeping in a security/finance company in Nigeria on
January 3rd 2000. The security company do not know that the
four boxes contains money This was done for my personal
security reasons.The deposit paper reads: four trunk boxes
containing film materials and diplomatic documents.Please
take proper note of this.Some top government officials in
Nigeria use this method to transfer money to their foreign
partners outside the country for confidential reasons.
The little money I use for personal expenses here has
finished that is why I needed your assistance to process
the release of the boxes from the security company where it
was deposited.
I want these boxes to taken out of the security company to
your destination so that I can be able to open the boxes
and retreive the
money for my expenses and to arrange myself for business
investment.Please hasten up and help me to recieve these
boxes. Be informed that this money is not connected with
drugs; money laundry, firearms and looting which I believe
will put fears in you
to render the required assistance needed from you and
consequently
withdrawing your help for security reasons. Hence the
source of this said money is clean and clear, Rather,to
help me,kindly prepare your mind so that I can direct you
to the Security Company where the boxes were deposited for
the necessary release to your destination on my behalf
under diplomatic immunity.
During your contact with the Security Company,tell them
that you are my business associate and that I instructed
that the boxes I deposited with them be sent to your
address. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk
free, and my husband will not raise any alarm because the
deposite documents was written in my name and in my
possession now.
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 the rest of my life. I will be
offering you 30% of this money if you show your personal
commitment in this transaction and 2.5% of the money will
be used to settle any personal expenses that have been
incured along the line of the transaction and for all your
help at this time of need.
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.
Your negative or positive response will be highly
appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Roseline Obaseki
