PAUL OSOBA CHAMBERS
SOLICITORS AND ADVOCATES OF
FEDERAL REP OF NIGERIA,
PLOT 224 MOSHUD ABIOLA CRECENT
LAGOS,NIGERIA.
With due respect Sir/Madam,I am Barr.Paul Segun Osoba,the executor to the
Estate of the late wife of the President of Nigeria,Mrs Stella Obasanjo who
died in a Spanish hospital on the 22nd oct 2005 after surgical treatment.
I got your address through the Chambers of commerce and Industry in your
Country who infact guarranteed your trustworthiness in handling magnitude
business transaction like such;hence my willingness to contact you.
Before my client died,she made known to me that she has about the sum of
$52,000,000 deposited with a Spanish Security Company for safe
keeping.However,this sum of money was not reflected in the last WILL of my
client as she had instructed me to prepare all necessary documents to back
up her WILL before tragic sudden death.
This money is now lying unclaimed with the Spanish Security Company as there
is no next of kins or beneficiary nominated for this claim.I was on the
process of formalizing the necessary documents before her death struck.
With my personal position as the executor of the WILL to my client,I have
decided to use your name as the beneficiary of this money to help me secure
the release of this safe which we will share between 2 of us.I have decided
to give you 30% of the total sum,I will keep 60% for myself and the
remaining 10% will be set aside for both local and international expenses.
The whole transaction is expected to be concluded within 21 working
days.Please note that there is no form of risk involved in this as I remain
the only person that knows about this.
I await your urgent response through mail.Please this is Confidential.
Kind Regards
Barr.Paul Segun Osoba
