Subject: VERY URGENT
Hello Sir,
Greetings to you Sir, i am capt Jossy Adekunle,a special duty officer in
Nigeria Army,a regular officer brigade of guild in presidency.
I am attacthed to the first Lady of the fedral repulic of Nigeria to serve
as confidential and chief security officer to Mrs stella Obasanjo the first
Lady. Unfortunately she died on 23rd of october 2005 after undergoing an
operation in Spain.
My purpose of writing you this day is tomake a freind who will offer a
helping hand tome in this trying moments. I want you to treat this
information i will give you today very confidentially.
The first lady deposited a sum of money in my name in a bank call banco
santada in spain on november 13 2003 and the money is till in the account
till date and the whole document is with me.the reason she did this is best
know to her because when ever i remind her about it she will smile and tell
me that she didnt forget.
Now that she is dead i can not defend or claim ownership of this 38 million
usa dollars if Nigerian government find out that a captain in the Army have
such money in his account.
So i need someone who i will transfer this money to his account and he will
be able to invest it in any good business on my behalf. I dont think is wise
for me to give out my Army number to you for security reseans as i dont know
if you will be able to do this with me but i will give you my number to show
my seriousness about this issue, my ARMY NUMBER IS = NA/901/78/13RE.
I dont mind if you will tell me what will be your reward or how much you
will take as your share from the total amount.I can send the account details
to you for your own verifications if the need arises.
I hope to get your reply soon.
Have a nice day Sir.
Capt J. Adekunle
