Subject: Re: Late First Lady Of Nigeria Last Wish.
CHUKS CHAMBERS ESQ & ASSOCIATES.
Dear Friend,
I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it
was borne out of desperation and current development. Please bear with me. I
am Barrister Chukwuma Peter a solicitor at law. I was the Personal attorney
to Her Excellency Mrs Stella Obasanjo, wife of the president of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria His Excellency President Olusegun Obasanjo, Herein after
shall be referred to as my client.
On the Sunday, October 23, 2005 , my client Her Excellency Mrs Stella
Obasanjo had traveled to Spain to undergo surgery and died from
complications resulting from that surgery. I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating the money she deposited with a finance security company with no
name of beneficairy, hoping she will use the money for her Good Works. I am
the only person who knows about this as her personal lawyer. Nobody knows
that she is the real owner of the fund, because i helped her to register the
fund with another name (Benard White) as the owner of the fund, so as to
prevent the Federal Ministry of Finance from probing the fund.
I seek your consent, to present you as the beneficiary of this fund, so that
the proceeds of this account valued at USD$81 million dollars can be paid to
you.
Secondly, this will give us the power to continue the Good work of our Late
first lady who was a Christian and love doing the WILL of God before she
Died, her fovourite quote is HEBREWS 11. God promises that His children will
struggle in this life, but He also promises to be faithful. She built many
motherless baby homes and homes for the old ones all over the world and her
Last Wish was to use this Fund to build one of the world biggest less
privilege home in Vietnam and other parts of the world . So i advice we put
this fund into her kind of Good life style. This means 10% for me, 10% for
you as our payment for carring out the Last Wish of a dead Woman and 80% for
her Last Wish which is building of ophanage homes, schools, churches and
others. I would get all necessary legal documents that would be needed and
used to back up this claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law. I have all documents backing the fund.
For further clearification about her death, see the site below.

Please get in touch with me through my private e-mail:
chuks_FedLaw@sify.com Moreso! Do not fail to send me your telephone number
with which I would be able to call you, so we can talk on how i can meet
with you in person, so that we can discuss extensively one-on-one as regards
this deal.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Barr. Chukwuma Peter (SAN).
