Dear Sir,
I am Usman Dagogo, it is true that we have never meet each other before and I believe that this name sounds strange to you, do not see this letter as a junk or one of the Internet scam mails because everything I am going to tell you here has prove and evidence and we believe that only
time will vindicate the just.
I don’t know how familiar you are with the recent events that befall the president of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.I am personal financial secretary to late first lady of federal republic of Nigeria late Mrs.Stella Obasanjo who died in Spanish hospital on early hour of 22nd of Oct
2005.

amount of money of the country through her diplomatic immunity coverage as the first lady, our luggage’s are not been search by any law enforcement agency at the airport, our last trip to Spain on 21st Oct, 2005,we travel with a sum of $15million united states dollars which she
intended to invest in Spain because we normally travel to Spain for her body surgery.
Right now, I am writing you, I am in position of this fund and only me knows everything about this fund and it’s arrangement, our arrangement is that the luggage contained the mention money will be deposited to a security company in Spain and after her medication,that is on Tuesday,
she will make arrangement to meet some people for the investment purposes, I took the consignment to the security company and deposit it with my name and on Sunday morning, the doctor called me and said that she is dead, I can’t believe it, I have to call the president and pass the
information to him.
Now, nobody knows anything about this money, and I want to now present you as the beneficiary of the consignment so that we will meet in Spain, as I do not want anybody to have a trace on this consignment,I have the deposit certificate and shipment airway bill of the consignment with
me now,Please, I consider this as an opportunity for me to make my fortune but this is not something I will do alone to avoid suspicious since the management of the company knows nothing about it,Please I am in brazil now,Just for 5 days visit,if you are interested to assist me,
kindly send to me now your private phone number and address so that I will call you for further discussion,This is highly confidential.I believe you will not expose this information to anybody.Please you can get back to me via my private email address at -(usman-dagogo@hotmail.com)
