Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT REPLY
Mrs. Quine E Obaseki
Flat 8 Block 12 NNPC Quarters
Garki Abuja Nigeria .
Hello Dear ,
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.Quine E Obaseki, the wife of Chief 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 given
birth, and this has really troubled my husband. As a result of the respect
given to local tradition and our 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 gratification from some Foreign Oil
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 me which 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 2003. 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 retrieve the money for my expenses and to arrange myself for
business investment.
Please hasten up and help me to receive 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 necessary release 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 deposited documents was written in my name
and in my possession 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 30% 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 incurred
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.
Your negative or positive response will be highly appreciated.I will like
you to contact me through my private email address: quine_eze@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
Miss.Quine E Obaseki
