Subject: PLEASE CONSIDER MY CONDITION
Dear Sir,
RE: CONSIDER MY CONDITION
I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things unfold,we
will know each other better and how I got your contact.I will start by
introducing myself to you, I am Mrs Tina Obaseki,the wife of Chief Jackson
Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) I am very sure that you will be of a
good assistance after carefully reading my letter. For many years of
marriage now between me and my husband,I have not given birth,and this has
really troubled my husband.This is as a result of so much respect attached
to local Tradition Culture and Custom in there community. And now my husband
is dead, In short to be sincere and honest with you,with the present
situation of things now, I am being treaten daily by my husband family to
get me out from the house. My husband parents and brothers are not left out
in this matter.This situation has really affected me psychologically, most
of the time I am in the church to pray and rest myself,because there is no
room for rest in my own home again.
As I am writing to you now,I am no longer assured of a matrmonial home,
hence I seek for your urgent assistance and help me out, which I know will
go a long way in geting me settled down finally.I want to use this
pportunity,since my husband family are tring to abandoned me because of
childlessness,to move this amount of (US$32M) million us dollars into your
custody for safe keeping,pending my arrival in your country. Be informed
that this said amount was given to my husband as gratification from some
foreign oil companies he helped in securing Allocation for the Drilling of
Crude Oil in Nigeria.
As a civil servant then,he does not want to be esposed, so he gave me this
money to keep in my personal account, this was when the going was okay
between us,so that he can exonerate himself from the eyes of Government
security operatives and the civil service commission(CSC)which is the body
that scrutinizes the activities of all civil servants in Nigeria as checks
and balances for official misconduct. Please i need your urgent assistance
because my husband family are tring to take all i and my husbnad has labourd
for and throw me out of the house, please don't let this happen to me come
and save me out of this truouble and i will be forever be geatfull to you.
To be sincere and honest with you,this money is never connected with drugs,
money aundry,firearms and looting,which I beleive might put fears in you and
consequently withdrawing your help for security reasons. Hence the source of
this said money is clean and clear.
This money was eposited in my personal Domicillary Account and I have
discussed with the bank manager who is very close to me, my intention to
transfer the money out of Nigeria and he promise to render to me all the
assistance I needed to transfer the money out of Nigeria.All I need now is
for you to send me your bank account and other informations,to enable my
bank apply for foreign exchange at the Federal Ministry of Finance with your
name as the beneficiary of the fund.
This is how my bank has planned it,to avoid any suspicion from our apex
bank. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, As soon as I
receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to his I will
furnish you on the next line of action to take immediately. Note,as soon as
the money is successfully transfered into your account, I will start coming
to meet you in your country.I romise to compensate you very well at the
successful end, this is the guranttee I am giving you from my heart of
heart.Be informed according to my bank manager,this transaction will not
last more than 7 working bank days and it will be concluded because every
necessary/vital arrangements has been put in place, take note. Your negative
or positive response will be highlyappreciated by me,Thanks and Godbless
your family.
