I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise,
but as things unfold, we will know each other better, i will start
by introducing myself to you.
I am Mrs.Rosemary obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki,the
recently retired Managing Director, and Chief Executive, Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC).
I am really sure that you will be of a good assistance after going
thoroughly through this letter.For many years of marriage now between
me and my husband, I have not givenbirth, and this has really troubled
my husband.
As a result of the respect given to local tradition culture and custom
here in Nigeria, my husband has decided to break the marriage and I
have divorced from him.
As at now,I am
no longer Assured of a matrimonial home, hence I seek
your urgent assistance and help which I know will go a long way in
getting me settled finally.
I want to use this opportunity to move the sum of (US$18M) into your
custody for safe keeping, pending my arrival in your country. This said
amount was given to my husband as ratification from some ForeignOil
Companies he helped in getting Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in
Nigeria.
As a civil servant, he does not want to be exposed, hence he gave me
this money to keep so that he can be exonerated from the eyes of
government security operatives in Nigeria.
I contacted my direct sister who introduced an idea for mewhich I
followed.The money was then neatly packed in four boxes and tagged as
Diplomatic Documents and film materials(PERSONAL EFFECTS).
I then deposited the boxes for save keeping in a security/finance
company in Nigeria on January 3rd 2004. The security
company do not know that the four boxes contains money This was done
for my personal
security reasons. The deposit paper reads: four trunk boxes containing
film materials and diplomatic documents.
Please take proper note of this.Some top government officials in
Nigeria use this method to transfer money to their foreign partners outside
the country for confidential reasons.
The little money I use for personal expenses here has finished that is
why I needed your assistance to process the release of the boxes from
the security company where it was deposited.
I want these boxes to taken out of the security company to your
destination so that I can be able to open the boxes and retreive the
money for my expenses and to arrange myself for business nvestment.
Please hasten up and help me to recieve these boxes. Be informed that
this money is not connected with drugs; money laundry, firearms and
looting which I believe will put
fears in you to render the
required assistance needed from you and consequently withdrawing your
help for security reasons.
Hence the source of this said money is clean and clear,Rather,to help
me,kindly prepare your mind so that I can direct you to the Security
Company where the boxes were deposited for the necessaryrelease to your
destination on my behalf under diplomatic immunity.
During your contact with the Security Company,tell them that you are my
business associate and that I instructed that the boxes I deposited
with them be sent to your address.
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, and my husband
Will not raise any alarm because the depositedocuments was written in
my name and in my ossession now.
As soon as this money is moved to you, and you confirm to me that you
have received it, I will be coming to meet you up there in your country
where I wish to live the rest of my life.
I will be offering you 10% of this money if you show your personal
commitment in this transaction and 2.5% of the money will be used to
settle any personal expenses that have been incured along the line of
the transaction and for all your help at this time of need. Be informed
that this transaction will not last more than 14 working days
and it will be concluded because every arrangement has
been put in, place.
