Greetings
I am making this contact to you on the fact that we may be of assistance
to each other in developing a long lasting cordial business relationship,
if you put your trust in God, that this will work out for the benefit of
your own family and my family.
I was moved by my personal inspriation to entrust on your sincerity to
handle a business relationship that involves huge money on trust.
I was constrained by the sudden death of my husband, the former Minister
of Power and steel and currently before his death, the Minister for Justice
of my country, whom was assassinated by an unknown men.
I am Mrs. grace Bola Ige, the second wife of the late Mr. Bola Ige who died
on December 23rd 2001. With heart full of grief, I regret to inform you
of the inhumane and harsh conditions which my husband's first wife and the
brother's have subjected me and my two daugthers.Since my husband's death,
the relatives have been wicked to us because of the following reasons:
1. I am not from the same tribe with them.
2. My refusal to learn and speak their tribal language and dress like other
women from their tribe.
3. My refusal to accept their religion
4. Because I have no male child.
5. Because I was specially loved and favoured I am absolutely tired of all
these threats from my husbands relatives since the death of my husband.
I am no longer in their Family house. am now in my husband's guesthouse,
with my daugthers, I seriously need your kind assistance and co-operations.
Few weeks before my husband's death, he entrusted the cash sum of $55
million U.S dollars to my care for safe keeping in my apartment in Abuja.
After his death I acted fast to deposit it into a local bank here in the
country to avoid my husband's relations getting to see it in the house.
This sum is secretly concealed in the bank.
Now I solicit your assistance to accept this sum for self-keeping. This
I cannot lodge into a bank account here in my name to avoid suspicion from
the Government, my husband's brother's and wife since they have Confiscated
all that is left by my husband and still places eyes on me if they could
lay hands on more including cash as they have left me and my children
without any cash.
If you can accept this, I urge you to contact us immediately for us to
brief you on arrangement on how we can possibly handle this. As a
necessity you will also assist us in buying a good building in your city
as we are presently in the guesthouse. Since I am interested in investing
on Farm, Estate development, Shares/stock exchange market, computers and
in the shipping Industries.
I will like you to educate me on your country's companies Income -tax
policies, as acitizen since my husband's oil allocation from Federal
Government is still in force. Considering what you will take from the total
sum as
commission, we shall discuss it face-to-face on our arrival to your place.
Obviously, you will be our (Myself and daugthers) next of kin while in your
country. I expect you to give this a quick and urgent attention while I
expect your response for more briefing from me, But if on the other hand
you consider your self not capable and fit of handling this because of the
volume of cash involved, you can hold confidential by informing me, hence
I may approve your contact of any of your trusted close confident you feel
can keep this confidential and capable of handling such because of his
level of knowledge in investment and cash flow in business. Remember the
confidentiality, as this is not for any third party, hence this should remain
between both of us alone.
I hope to hear from you soon.
MRS GRACE BOLAIGE
