Subject: THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE
Mrs. Roseline Obaseki
Flat 10 Block 12
NNPC Quarters, Garki Abuja Nigeria.
ATTN: DEAR CONFIDANT,
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things unfold,we will know each other better. I will start by introducing myself to you. I am Mrs. Roseline Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki,the Former Managing Director, and Chief Executive, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I am really sure that you will be of a good assistance after going thoroughly through this letter. For many years of marriage now between me and my husband, I have not given birth, and this has really troubled my husband. As a result of the respect given to local tradition culture and custom here in Nigeria,my husband has decided to break the marriage.With the situation of things with me now, my matrimonial home look bleak. I am been threatened daily by my husband to get out from the home.
My Husband's brothers are not left out in this matter, this situation has really affected me psychologically. As at now,I am no longer Assured of a matrimonial home, hence I seek your urgent assistance and help which I know will go a long way in getting me settled finally. I want to use this opportunity to move the sum of ( US$5 MILLION ) into your custody for safe keeping, pending my arrival in your country. This said amount was given to my husband as gratification from some Foreign Oil Companies he helped in getting Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in Nigeria.
As a civil servant, he does not want to be exposed, hence he gave me this money to keep in my personal account so that he can be exonerated from the eyes of government security operatives and the Civil Service Commission(CSC) which is a body that scrutinizes the activities of all civil servants in Nigeria as checks and balances for official misconduct. Be informed that this money is not connected with drugs; money laundry,firearms and looting which I believe will put fears in you to render the required assistance needed from you and consequently withdrawing your help for security reasons.
Hence the source of this said money is clean and clear, this money was deposited in my personal domiciliary account and there is no way it can be transferred telegraphically under the banking procedures which could have been the easiest,but because of monetary transfer restriction by the Federal Government of Nigeria, that is defeated. Rather I have arranged with my bank manager to move this money out in cash to a private Finance company under diplomatc immunity where it will be easy for you to claim \ collect, this he has already done, as soon as I see your response and willingness to help as regards to this, I will furnish you with the informatons \ documents and I will equally send you my picture in confirmation of my sincerity of purpose in this transaction.
This is exactly why I am seeking a GOD fearing person who can save me from this predicament and humiliation from my husband because I could not mother a child for him, presently I am under the care of the Catholic church community here n Abuja since he has thrown me out of our matrimonal home for another woman. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, and my husband will not raise any alarm because he will not like to put himself, his position and in jeopardy.
As soon as this money is moved to you, and you confirm to me that you have received it, I will be coming to meet you up there in your country where I wish to live the rest of my life. I will be offering you 30% of this money for all your help at this time of need.Be informed that this transaction will not last more than 7 working days and it will be concluded because every arrangement has been put in place. Your response will be highly appreciated, please do have a place in your heart to assist me and GOD will surely reward you handsomely.
All the same you can also reach me through my alternative email mailroseline@bulgaria.com
Kind Regards,
MRS.ROSELINE OBASEKI
