ATTN:
I am susan james, the wife of late Dr. Michael james, the financial director
of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I got your contact address
when I was looking for somebody in U.S.A or Europe or Asia I will transact
his deal with me in U.S.A.or Europe or Asia My husband, late Dr. Michaeljames
was the financial director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation NNPC),
he died on 27th August 2002 after a brief illness and left me and my two
daughters. Now, his assistant took over his position and since September,
when he took that position, he started writing petition against my husband
that he looted $95 million dollars, because when my husband was alive, he
was not in good terms with him.
Although, there was a deal my late husband did with the Federal Government
and the money was not up to that amount and he has invested almost half
of the money in building houses here in Abuja and Lagos and because of the
petition from the present financial director of Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), the government have seized the whole money we have in
the bank here in Abuja and Lagos, even the whole houses the government have
also seized because the government asked me about the money and I told them
I didnt know any thing about the money.
My main reason of contacting you is that my late husband left $10.5 million
US dollars in a security company here in Abuja which nobody know about except
me, my late husband and my two kids. And it was only last week I told our
family lawyer about the money in the security company and he advised me
that the best thing I should do is to find a way on how to transfer the
money out of the country before it will be too late.
For that reason, I decided to transfer this money out of the country as
soon as possible because That is our only hope; I met one of my friends
working with a courier service and told her about my problem. Then, she
agreed to help me if I can keep it a secret between the two of us and pay
her $100,000 dollars for her settlement then, $27,500 dollars for courier
service charge to transfer the consignment from Nigeria direct to .S.A,or
Europe or Asia even the lady who will carry the box from Nigeria to U.S.A
,or Europe or Asia dont?t know the content of the box because she was told
by my friend Mary working with the courier service that the content of the
box is computer accessories, because Mary is in charge of all cargos traveling
out of the country.
In fact, I have finished the whole necessary rangement on how this consignment
will be sent direct to u.S.A.or Europe or Asia What I only need from you
now is to use your name and your address and send this consignment arrives
in U.S.A.or Europe or AsiaThen, immediately the lady arrives in U.S.A, EUROP
or Asia she will contact you and you will meet with her and clear the consignment
and my friend gave me full assurance that their airways donÂ?t have any
problem, when they get to your country.
I would like to hear from you as soon as possible to know how much you will
collect from me for assisting me, because you will equally direct me on
how to invest the money there in your country without any problem. Mind
you that the said amount in the one box is $10.5 m Dollars. Expecting to
hear from you for more clarification. Your assistance is highly needed or
you should contact our family lawyer by name barrister k.c matthew, Through
his direct telephone line,tell 234-1-4704983 OR :234-1-8124566,for more
clearification because my movement is restricted by the present govrnment
Thanks and God bless.
MRS SUSAN JAMES
