Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Barr.Idris Kuta, A personal assistant to the late Mrs Stella Obasanjo
(Nigeria's first lady) who died last month in Spain while undergoing a
plastic surgery. I am taking a bold and urgent step and needs an assistance
from you.
Before the untimely death of the first lady, i was her closest confidant. I
know her secrets and she had the trust on me as i was never a sell out to
her for once. she was nursing the ambition of a senatorial seat for Edo
Central Zone (her birth place) come 2007. and based on this, we were
preparing our strategies financially b/cos the first lady wanted to buy over
even the camp of her "would be opponents".
We deposited a sum of $5m (five million dollars) to a finance security
company through the office of the first lady as money for the payment of a
foreign contractor who supplied furniture to the Govt. house. This money was
meant to be used in by Dec 1st for our party's national convention to buy
over majority of the delegates, but now the first lady is no more and this
money will be trapped in the security company if no foreigner comes to claim
it before Dec 1st as was told them when we were depositing the money and
also contained in the deposit documents.
What i need from you now is to assist me to pull out this money from the
security company by applying as the contractor who executed the contract of
furniture supply. this money will be paid to you as i have all the relevant
documents that will needed to claim this money. You may not necesarily need
to come here in person to claim this money, you can apply from your
country and submit an account into where this money will be paid into any
where you may wish. We will share this money at a ratio which will discuss
later on. i will give you other vital informations concerning this
transaction as soon as i hear from you.
Remember to keep this piece of information confidential until we have
succeeded.
Thank You,
