Hello,
I have to be sincere with you on this urgent need. My names remain
undisclosed for now for security reasons. I was the personal legal advisor

Obasanjo, who passed away on the 22nd Oct.,2005. Been a wife to the
president, and I was the closet person to her in terms of personal advice
and about her investment proceed which was all in secret.
We always have a secret running which she deposited sum amount in a security
firm in Europe. That was only known between us. This fund was moved on the
15th September, 2005 through a director in central bank of Nigeria, Abuja to
a security firm in Europe. Though I know a lot people don't seems to
believe in any deal as such that originated here in Nigeria but, I am
willing to indemnify my personality for anyone who would willingly want to
indulge himself to doing this transaction which I belief can change someone
life for a betterment of our tomorrow at eased. The amount is 100,000.00
million pounds. (One Hundred Thousand Million Pounds) This money was meant
to finance a project in Chad republic which was make known to only me and a
director in central bank of Nigeria and it was deposited there as treasure
box containing personal treasures on my name. I have all it takes to claim
this money and at risk free proceeds.
I need trustworthy and responsible person who will arrange an account that
can accommodate this fund as a matter of urgency for the money to be
transfer into and then we talk on percentage ratio. This is deal. Please if
