Dear sir/madam,

I believe that this whole thing will sounds strange to you, do not dismiss
this letter as a junk or one of the Internet scam mails because everything

only time that will vindicate me. I don't know how familiar you are with
the recent events that be fall the president of Nigeria Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo.I am the personal financial secretary to the late first lady of
federal republic of Nigeria late Mrs. Stella Obasanjo who died in a Spanish
hospital in the early hours of 22nd of October 2005, to read more about her
tragic death.
visit: www.thisdayonline.com or www.vanguardngr.com, I am writing this
letter in confidence that we should have a mutual understanding on this
information I am going to divulge to you, On several occasions I travelled
with the late first lady, we normally move huge amounts of money (CASH) out
of the country. Due to her diplomatic immunity coverage as the first lady,
our luggages are never searched at the airports. On our last trip to Spain
on 21st Oct 2005, we travelled with the sum of $10.5million United States
dollars (CASH), which she intended to invest in Spain because we normally
travel to Spain for her body care. Right now, as am writing you, I am in
position of this funds and am the one who knows about this fund and it's
arrangement, the plan was to deposit the luggage Containing the money into
a Security company in Spain and after her medication on Tuesday, she will
make arrangement to meet some people for the investment purposes, normally
the Consignment was deposited in my name into the security company.
Surprisingly on Sunday morning, the doctor called me and said that she is
dead, I didn't believe it, I have to call the president and pass on the
information to him. However am in Nigeria now.
Therefore on your receipt of this message urgently forward to me the
following to proceed: 1) your address andinformations 2) your
mobile/telephone numbers for easy contact when ever it
is necessary to communicate through phone. 3) your property of
identification (neither your internationalpassport or driving license)As
soon as I receive this from you tomorrow I would move into action.
No one else knows anything about this money, and I want to present you as
the beneficiary of the consignment so that we will meet in Spain, as I do
not want anybody to have a trace on this consignment, I have the deposit
certificate and shipment airway bill of the consignment with me I consider
this as an opportunity for me to make my fortune but this is not something
I will do alone to avoid suspicion. If you are interested to assist me,
kindly reply via my email address to adam_bello06@yahoo.com
This is highly confidential. I believe you will not expose this information
to anyone. Please email me back to confirm your acceptance of this offer.
