Goodday Friend
My name is Hilda Idowu Williams i am the widow of the late engineer
FUNSHO WILLIAMS the director general of NIGERIAN MARITIME AUTHORITY
(NMA).
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 ourCHURCH DIRECTORY here in Nigeria and have no doubt in
your
ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money.
My late husband engineer funsho williams was a man of honour and
integrity but his life was cut short by his political party members
because
he notified them of his interest to contest for the gubernitorial seat
in LAGOS STATE OF NIGERIA.
You may have head of political killings in Nigeria but the one that
involves my husband was the most gruesome because the blood thirsty
tied
him up before they stabbed him to death.
The Nigerian police force has done all they can in order to bring the
culprit to book by arresting all the contestant in the PEOPLE
DEMOCRATICAL PARTY (PDP) but they have not been able to unearth the
killers after
two months.
Rightnow the PRESIDENT CHIEF OLUSEGUN OBASANJO and the VICE PRESIDENT
ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR are now at each other's neck because both of
they
are using the masses money to enrich themselves which is not healthy
for the nation.
I know that you may have been recieving several mails like this but you
will have to differenciate the truth from the hoax by viewing this
website.
