Subject: HELLO CAN WE TALK?
Hello friend,
I do recognize the surprise this urgent and confidential mail will bring to you especially as it came from a stranger, but be rest assured that it came with best of intentions. And I am sending you this message from home because I am presently on a working live from Abuja FTC -Nigeria to my state in Abia state all in Nigeria here.
First of all, I must introduce myself to you, I am Mr. Joe Milton the Personnal legal adviser to Late Chief (Mrs.) Stella Obasanjo (Wife of President Olusegun Obasanjo) the founder of a non-governmental organisation, Child Care Trust Vocation Center, to take care of the underprivileged, the motherless, physically and mentally retarded children, with a focus on girls. She died at Molding Clinic in Puerto Banus, near Marbella-Spain. Early morning of Saturday, October 22, 2005, she died following post-surgery complications. Her body was been flown back home and has been given a state burial. You can read more here

Three weeks earlier before her death we deposit the $8.5 million USD with a Finance and Security Company here in Nigeria stated that the money will be use for the payment for a contractor for procurement of materials for her pet project; Child CareTrust Vocation Center in Bwari, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
There are certain reasons that made it mandatory that she must make secret her plans. One she did not want the $8.5 million deposit to be of public knowledge due to earlier scandal, which dealt "a blow in the belly" to the president's fight against corruption. Public knowledge of the existence of this deposit will call for a lot of Questioning and will further bring untold scandal to the President and the Nation.
Late Stella Obasanjo did not mention the contractor's name of address before she died. Now I am contacting you to as to transfer this funds into your account in your country or outside. I am therefore soliciting your cooperation to front you as the contractor to enable you claims this deposit. We will share it 30% for you, 30% for the other person a member of the Tender Committee (The Contract Awarding Dept.) while 30% for me and the remaing 10% will be for any expense along the transaction.
This operation requires that we will forward your name to the Finance and Security Company, which they will make a contact with you to enable you lay claims of the fund.
Please consider this secret and urgent transaction and if you are sure you can handle it, reach me back for final negotiations and details.
Kindly reply me with jmilton00001@ny.com
Thanks for your kind cooperation.
Regards.
Mr. Joe Milton.
