Dear Friend,
My name is Barrister Adeyemi Martins, I am a legal practitioner here in
Abuja Nigeria and i am registered under the Nigerian Bar association of
lawyers. I was , until her tragic death the personal lawyer of the of late
Chief (Mrs) Stella Obasanjo wife of the president of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria Mr Olusegun Obasanjo; Who recently passed away in a spanish hospital
in spain due to a surgery. She was born November 8th, 1945 and died october
23rd, 2005.
Late Chief (Mrs) Stella Obasanjo , known for her love and support for
children and women all over the world was a major blessing from God for her
reaching out to these children and women all over the world from variuos
countries and races. Out of the her quest for supporting these children and
women she made a special benefitiary listing of children and women to whom
where awarded $45,000usd each, just before her death. A copy of this list
was submited to the court of law and anotehr to the the bank for futher
confirmation.
Futhermore, she deposited this money in Citizens International Bank plc, and
ordered that this money be awarded to these women and children. I am wirting
to inform you that your family name is included in this list and should come
forth to make your cliam. The award was nominated to either a female or a
child, (cousin,nephew, or relative who bears or answers to your last name).
However, if you wonder how the late Chief (Mrs) Stella Obasanjo got to know
you or decided to favour you out of the blues, then i guess she must have
come incontact with one of your well wishers who talked to her about you or
this migth also have resulted from the Lucky people Draw that took place
earlier this year in which names of families all over the world where
randomly selected and chosen to me nominated this cash price for assistance
of the family in terms of education and personal provision.
Finally, if i have been able to reach out to you through this email then,
please reply as soon as possible, my personal email address is writen below
through which you can also contact me so as to enable you file your cliam
and receive your money(Congratulations).
