From: Mrs. Roseline Ogugua
Dear Friend,
I greet you in the name of our lord. My name is Mrs. Roseline Ogugua. I
am a widow and a mother of Two all girls. I know you will see my
letter to you as an embarrassment considering the fact that we do
not know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient with me I feel
very pleased to contact you for
some assistance and business relationship. I am a Citizen of
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, married to a Nigerian. I live in Nigeria with my
children. My late husband was a loving, caring and hard working
businessman who died unfortunately in a ghastly auto crash. Before
the sudden death of my beloved husband, and
father of my daughters, my late husband intended to establish a
business in the united states of America with the sum of$15 million
united states dollars, but unfortunately he died
before this proposed venture.
Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not
entitled to his property (Assets and money) since I am a woman and
my offspring's all girls as I do not have a male child for my
husband. Well, according to some barbaric traditional laws here in
Nigeria (Africa) which doesn't permit a woman to inherit a man's
property, as they are expected by tradition to take over the
management of his business and other properties including myself
who automatically becomes a wife
to one of his immediate brothers. Unfortunately to this wicked
family members, the $15 million united states dollars which my late
husband intended to use in establishing a business in the United
States was deposited in a bank account unknown to his family.I and
the Attorney is the only one aware of this money,so I have
discussed this matter with a staff of the bank that i want this
money personally so that I will be able to take care of my
children's educational needs since my husband's family members
vehemently opposed the furtherance of their education. According to
the staff of the bank, the best way to secure this money is to
transfer this money to a bank account out side Nigeria For
safe-keeping, later it will be used for business establishment
subject to the
Advise of whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I
therefore ask for your sincere assistance in providing us with your
bank details and the enablement to facilitate the
remittance of this fund into your nominated account. As soon as I
get your positive response, I shall provide you with all the
necessary detail for this transfer.
However, I have decided to to give you 30% of the total money as a
reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining 70% of the
money will be for my investment as I will want to keep aglow my
late husbands dream of investing in real estate. To be able to help
me, kindly send through myemail, your personal details including
your contact information for easy communication.
Thanking you for your anticipated response.
Mrs. Roseline Ogugua.
