and that notwithstanding, we

are being frozen by the Nigerian
Civilian Government. Furthermore, my elder son is in detention by the Nigerian
Government for more
interrogation about my husband?s assets and some vital document. for your

Following the recent discovery of my husband?s Bank Account by the Nigerians
Government with Swiss Bank
in which the huge sum of US$700 Million and Dutch 450 Million was logged.
I therefore decided to contact you
in confidence that I was above to move out the sum of US$15 Million Dollars,
which was secret and is
sealed in two Metal Boxes for security reasons.
I personally therefore appeal to you seriously and religiously for your
urgent assistant to move this
money into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave
the country due to the
restriction movement imposed on the members of my family by the Nigerian
Government.
Once you indicate your interest to assist me in this transaction I will
give you my family Lawyer contact
phone and fax numbers with the Chambers address who will arrange with you
for face to face meeting outside
Nigerian in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of this
transaction since my movement is
restricted and my telephone conversation is being monitored.
However, arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the
country in the secret vault
through a security company to abroad and as soon as you indicate your interest,
my
Lawyer shall send you the Air Bill of the Luggage and other related documents
so that you can help to claim
the Luggage. Subsequent to our free movement has been restrickted by the
Nigerian Government .
Please, reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum, while 60%
is to be held on trust by you
until we decide on a suitable business investment in your country and more
also 10% is mapped out For internal and external expenses.
