Subject: BEST REGARDS
I want to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you as I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise. I am, Mrs Aminat Moussa the personal adviser to the late Chief Mrs Stella Obasanjo ( first lady of the federal republic of Nigeria) who died on Sunday 23rd of October 2005 after a surgery in Spain.
After her departure to Spain for the surgery, I received a call on Sunday from Spain that the first lady died at early hour on Sunday, after some necessary arangement then I decided to travel to Ivory Coast, a neighbouring country to Nigeria on the West Coast of Africa to one of her bank in Ivory Coast meanwhile I discovered a week before her death she deposited a draft of $1.5 Million dollars into her offshore account in Ivory Coast bank. I decided to arange with the bank manager (Dr. Konte Diarra) since nobody is aware of this money except me & the bank manager.
We both concluded to look for a foreign partner immediately who will assist us to receive this money by sending us your full name, address, telephone or the photocopy of your international passport/ identity card with an account for transferring of the money to your nominated account since the first lady is dead. We found this as a great opportunity & mutual benefit for both of us.
We have decided to map out 30% of the total amount involved after the succession of the money transferred into your account in your country. While I & the bank manager will arrange for our own share of the 70% after you receive the money in your nominated account. This transaction is 100% risk-free.
So declare your interest immediately by forwarding me your account details for the transfer to be effected without delay. Bear in mind that the money will be transferred after receiving your account information with other requirements. Please take heart & keep this confidential with you.
Best Regards
Mrs Aminat Moussa
