Subject: FROM ME,OLUMUYIWA...URGENT PLS.
Dear Friend,
I am Olumuyiwa Obasanjo,28,the only son of Chief Mrs,Stella Obasanjo,the
first lady of the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria,Chief olusegun
Obasanjo.And as you know,my mother died on 20th of Oct;2005 in a Spanish
hospital during a surgical operation.
I am writing you in tears and soaked emotions and I expect a fraction of
consolation from you by positively responding to this request without fear
or delay.As you know that my father, Olesegun Obasanjo was the military
president of Nigeria between 1976-1979 before becoming the present
democratic President,so the family have been living in an atmosphere of firm
and favour acquiring almost everything they ever wanted.
Fortunately,my late mother,Stella was not only the first lady on the mere
formality.She was simply my dad's favourite among the bary of other wives in
our competitive polygamous family.Yes competitive indeed!That's why my late
mother did everything to acquire most of her personal properties on my name.
She has always taken steps further to distract everyone from the traces of
her treasure locations.Early this year,she prepared a reasonable sum and
packaged it as a diplomatic immunities and deposited it in a Security
Commission in Europe,all on my name.Now, she is dead! She was finally
committed to mother earth last Friday,28th Oct;2005 and Thanks-giving
service was held on her honour yesterday,Sunday 30t to bid her final
farewell.Sycophants,you know, will want to reap where they did not sow! It
is optimistic that the other family members MUST lunch a trail of
persecution and preassure to dispose me of what belongs to me,and above
all,my father,the president might be selfish in keeping my interest since
the other wives are there to instigate him.
Now,this is the deal.The total amount lodged in the British Storage
Commission is US$22.5M and all the documents are intact,all on my name.If I
can trust you,kindly indicate interest by replying with your full contact
details and I shall instruct my attorney to change all to your name for
claim so that before my detractors start hunting for me,I will be a bonafide
owner of independent values.I was with my attorney at the
inter-denominational Thanksgiving service and I confided this in him and
even this morning,still;I did not let him know that I am looking for a
foreign partner but I told him that I have a tested and trusted foreign
friend from States whom I would like him to change all documents to his
names for an immediate retrieval of the consignment.He nodded in approval as
he has no option.
Your remuneration? 15% of the total deposited funds shall be yours and if
your sincerity is not shaken,we shall do more transactions together in the
nearest future because I want to relocate to America and settle as her
citizen and I want my dividend of this transaction to be invested into any
lucrative business you may advise me.I took this decision because I know
that few months after my mother's burial,this family will certainly be too
hot for me and this I will not like.
Relying absolutely on your confidentiality,honesty,transparency and above
all,sincerity of purpose.
Waiting to hear from you.
Olu.
