Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things unfold,we
will know each other better and how I got your contact.I will start by
introducing myself to you, I am Mrs Blessing Obaseki,the wife of Chief
Jackson
Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) I am very sure that you will be of a
good assistance after carefully reading my letter. For many years of
marriage now between me and my husband,I have not given birth,and this has
really troubled my husband.This is as a result of so much respect attached
to local Tradition Culture and Custom in there community. And now my husband
is dead, In short to be sincere and honest with you,with the present
situation of things now, I am being treaten daily by my husband family to
get me out from the house. My husband parents and brothers are not left out
in this matter.This situation has
really affected me psychologically, most of the time I am in the church to
pray and rest myself,because there is no room for rest in my own home again.
As I am writing to you now,I am no longer assured of a matrimonial home,
hence I seek for your urgent assistance and help me out, which I know will
go a long way in geting me settled down finally.
I want to use this pportunity,since my husband family are tring to abandoned
me because of
childlessness,to move this amount of (US$8.2M) million us dollars into your
custody for safe keeping,pending my arrival in your country.
Be informed that this said amount was given to my husband as gratification
from some
foreign oil companies he helped in securing Allocation for the Drilling of
Crude Oil in Nigeria. As a civil servant then,he does not want to be
esposed, so he gave me this money to keep in my personal account, this was
when the going was okay between us,so that he can exonerate
himself from the eyes of Government security operatives and the civil
service commission(CSC)which is the body that scrutinizes the activities of
all civil servants in Nigeria as checks and balances for official
misconduct.
Please i need your urgent assistance because my husband family
are tring to take all i and my husbnad has labourd for and throw me out of
the house, please don't let this happen to me come and save me out of this
truouble and i will be forever be geatfull to you. To be sincere and honest
with you,this money is never connected with drugs, money aundry,firearms and
looting,which I beleive might put fears in you and consequently withdrawing
your help for security reasons.
Hence the source of this said money is clean
and clear. This money was deposited in my personal Domicillary Account and I
have discussed with the bank manager
who is very close to me, my intention to transfer the money out of Nigeria
and he promise to render to me all the assistance I needed to transfer the
money out of Nigeria.All I need now is for you to send me your
informations,to enable my bank apply for foreign exchange at the
Federal Ministry of Finance with your name as the beneficiary of the
fund.
This is how my bank has planned it,to avoid any suspicion from our apex
bank. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, As soon as I
receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to his I will
furnish you on the next line of action to take immediately. Note,as soon as
the money is successfully transfered into your account, I will start coming
to meet you in your country.I romise to compensate you very well at the
successful end, this is the guranttee I am giving you from my heart of
heart.
Be informed according to my bank manager,this transaction will not last more
than 7 working bank days and it will be concluded because every
necessary/vital arrangements has been put in place, take note. Your negative
or positive response will be highly appreciated by me,Thanks and Godbless
