Dear Friend,

medium,with heartfelt hope that you will sincerely
respond passionately to my urgent cry and need for your
assistance. I am afraid you may see this letter as one of the numerous scam
emails that is floating all over the internet this days, but please kindly
find out if what I am telling you herein is the truth or not.

Chuba Okadigbo the former senate president of the Federal
Repoblic of Nigeria and also renowned businessman and
a devoted Christian, whom we lost couple of weeks ago as a
result of political struggle in the country at present.
Since the death of my husband, I have been highly
disturbed mentally, psychologically and physically. In fact,the
death of my husband has affected me greatly,the worst of it
all is that barely one week after his death, my husband's family
members have been disturbing and compounding my present sober mood,
demanding that I should declare all my husband's assets and surrender
all his bank accounts to them.
Being a young widow with son's and daughter's, I have
considered it right to secure my future and that of my
surviving children with my husband's assets as it is
done else where in the world.
This is why I have decided to contact you, for you to
assist me receive the sum of US$27.5 Million which my
husband secretly deposited in a Private Trust Firm in
Europe for safe-keeping few months before his untimely death.
Already, I have declared all my late husband's local accounts to them,
for me to have peace of mind and start a new life all over again, but
they still persist that I have not surrendered everything to them
yet. I am contacting you through this medium specifically for
you to act as my late husband's Foreign Associate who can go to the
Trust Firm and retrieve the consignment of the funds with all
documents of deposit which I will give to you.
Though this message would have been sent to you via
surface mail, but for the Worldwide scare of Anthrax and
delays.Hence, I decided to contact you via your email
address. I want you to act fast because I want to join you as soon as you
have
secured the money, to ease this mental and psychological
depression which I am experiencing since the death of my husband.
I equally want you to asist my children and myself in acquiring a residence
permit in your country, to enable us have hope and guarantee for a permanent
future.
On receipt of your response, I will send you all the
documents of the deposited funds so you can make arrangement to go to
the Trust Firm and secure the money with my authorization.
Please contact me immediately through my private
Attorney via email barristerokoduwah@portugalmail.pt because of the
confidentiality required to enable me give you further clarifications.
Please do not give this information to any body so as to avoid my late
husband's relatives from knowing about this development.
God Bless You For Your Co-operation
I remain Yours Faithfully,
Mrs.Ngozi Okadigbo.
