From Evangelist Lindy Mike(Widow).
l am Evangelist Lindy Mike,A member of Christ Apostolic Church of
God(C.A.C). l know this proposal will come to you as a surprise
because we have not met before either physically or through
correspondence.I got your contact from our chamber of commerce here
in Nigeria and have no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal
involving huge sum of money.
My husband is Chief John Mike Chairman, JohnMiky Oil (Now Late)he was
the chairman of the opposition party in nigeria ANPP in South South
Nigeria. But was murdered in cold blood by unknown gun men just a two
weeks to the April 19th 2003 election the election that brought this
present evil government to power for the second time.
My husband was killed because he wanted the nigerians to live a very
happy live.But the bucanneers that has been ruling this beautiful
country for over 35years refuse to allow a change,so they decided to
kill him in order tohave their way.Meanwhile we are from eleme (an
oil rich town) in south south Nigeria.My community produces 5.8% of
the total crude oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar
value of each barrelis paid to my husband as royalty by the Federal
Government since he is from oil rich region.
My husband was also the Chairman of ELEME Special Oil Trust Fund.In
his position as the Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made some
money which he left for me as the only heir apparent. The money is
Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars(US$15.5). This Money
originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998 Due to
poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result
of long stay of Military in Government.He deposited this Money in
UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA UBA PLC with an open Beneficiary to be a
foreigner when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad .
He successfully carried or executed this plan before they murderedhim
inside his living room . Just before my husband was murdered, one day
he called me and told me this government might kill him if care is
not taken due to the differences he had with the government. But he
is not worried he says if they kill him since he is fighting the
cause of the poor masses.Then he called my attention to the money and
charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the
transfer/investment of the funds abroad.
So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve
this great objective.I promise to give you 30% of the total funds
transferred to your vital bank account as compensation for your
assistance. Five percent (5%)has been set aside to take care of all
expenses we may incure during the transaction.
I am currently in the hospital taking treatment on my kidney effection
which I do not know if I will survive after my final heart operation
which is coming up soon.
Please I will appreciate that yousend the following information to
enable my Lawyer commence with the procuring of the necessary
document that will back you up as next of kin to my late Husband.
1. your full name.
2. Your contact address.
3. Your telephone/fax numbers for prompt communication.
I wait your response to enable me direct you to my late Husband lawyer
for immediate arrangement with the UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA UBA Plc on
how the Fund will be claimed by you on my Late Husbands Behalf as his
Next of Kin and New Beneficiary.
May the almighty God bless you.

Evangelist Lindy Mike
