Dear Sir/Madam,
How are you today? I hope my letter meet you in good health. My name is Hajia Municat Ismail Abdulsalami wife of late Alhaji Abdulraman Ismail Abdulsalami who was assassinated on the 2nd of April 2006 by unknown assassins whom we believe to be government paid agents on his way back from the federal capital territory after attending a mass rally organized by the Civil Liberty Organization (CLO) protesting the attempt by the former government under the leadership of President Olusegun Obasanjo to amend the constitution to suit their tenure elongation bid in other to perpetuate themselves in office.
My late husband was a strong member of the CLO who had strongly registered their opposition to the tenure elongation bid. I am reaching you to please assist me and my three children left behind by my late husband receive on our behalf our consignment deposited in one of the secret vaults of a Security Company.
The consignment contains a total sum of US$9.8Million (NINE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND USA DOLLARS ONLY). My late husband made this money when he served as the chairman contract award committee under the regime of Gen. Ibrahim B. Babangida Rtd.
The government has descended so hard on me and the entire family by confiscating our properties, seizing our traveling documents and as well had all our accounts here frozen. I would want you to assist me for the future of my children receive this consignment. Even as the new government under the new President Umar Musa Yar Adua has taken office, there is still no ray of hope for us.
I would appreciate you to invest this money in any lucrative business there in your country and as well manage it on our behalf pending when will be able to come over.
Please understand that there is nothing to fear in this case since the money is not an ill-gotten wealth nor government stolen fund, it is neither a proceed from sales of drug nor money for sponsoring terrorism. I would direct you on what to do and as well forward to you all the documents to enable you have access to the consignment containing the fund.
You should endeavor to make available to me your complete names, private phone and fax numbers and your current contact/mailing address so that our family lawyer will draft a power of attorney to you on our behalf empowering you to legally stand as the real beneficiary/owner of the consignment.
I sincerely appeal to you to treat this matter with absolute confidentiality and utmost secrecy because I wouldnt want involving another person into this since we dont know who is for nor against us. On receipt of your acceptance, we can then discuss the percentage. I will instruct the security company to release the consignment directly to you.
Please delete this immediately after reading if you are not interested and make sure it does not get to another person to avoid publicity. I am sincerely counting on you for our survival. We do not know what the next day turns out to be for us. I implore you to come to our rescue as quickly as possible.
Anticipating your urgent/favorable response.
Best regards
Hajia Municat Ismail Abdulsalami
