Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Hajia Amina Shettima Mohammed Bulama,the
eldest wife of Shettima Mohammed Bulama who was the
estwhile managing director of the Bank of the North
Nig Plc.
I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost
confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution
to a money transfer of $12M that is presently the last
resort of my family. My husband has just been retired
from office and has also been placed under survelience
of which he can not travel out of the country for now
due to allegations levelled against him while in
office as the Managing director of the bank of the
north Nig. Plc of which he is facing litigations right
now.
You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to
you but do not despair, I got your contact from a
business site on the internet and following the
information I gathered about you, I was convinced that
you could be of assistance to me. So, i decided to
contact you at once due to the urgency required for us
to immediately transfer the said funds out of the
country. During the time my husband was with the bank
he made several loans to various oil firms and
in return he was given various sums as gratifications.
The prominent amongst the deals was money that
emanated from funds set aside for the importation of
various ballot equipmemts for the just concluded april 2003
general elections. If you are conversant with world
news, you would understand better. During this period
my husband was able to make some good money for
himself and kept in a private security finance
accounts here as personal effects .
Out of the money my husband made, he left the sum of
US$12M (Twelve Mllion United States Dollars) which was
kept in a Private security firm here in Nigeria and he
kept it in the vaults of this firm as personal
effects.
The reason is because no names were used to lodge in
the consignment containing the funds. Instead, he used
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the
contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the
firm issued him with a certificate of deposit of the
consignment. Note that I have these information in my
custody.
Right now, my husband has asked me to negotiate with a
foreigner who would assist us lay claim to the
consignment, as the eldest wife of my husband, I
believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to
ensure that the US$12M is successfully transferred
abroad for investment purposes.
With the present situation, I cannot do it all by
myself. It is based on this that I am making this
contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and
fine-tuned the best way to create you as the
beneficiary to the consignment containing the funds
and effect the transfer of the consignment
accordingly. It is rest assured that the modalities I
have resolved to finalize the entire project
guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of
the funds. So, you will be absolutely right when you
say that this project is risk free and viable.
If you are capable and willing to assist,contact me at
once via this email for more details.
Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again.
All my husband?s friends have deserted us after
exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my
husband. As it is said, it is at the time of problems
that you know your true friends.
So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would
definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am
ready to give you as much as 25% of the total funds
after confirmation in your possession and invest on a
reasonable percentage into any viable business you may
suggest. Please, I need your assistance to make this
happen and please do not undermine it because it will
also be a source of up liftment to you also. You have
absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead,
you have so much to gain.
I will appreciate if you can contact me at once via this secured email:ashettima2001@yahoo.com
Awaiting your urgent and positive response.
Thanks and Allah be with you
Hajia (Mrs) Amina Shettima Bulama
