From: Mrs. Zik Ogugua
Dear Friend,
I greet you in the name of our lord. My name is Mrs. Zik
Ogugua. I am a widow and a mother of Two all girls. I know
you will see my letter to you as an embarrassment considering
the fact that we do not know ourselves. I plead with you to
be patient with me I feel very pleased to contact you for
some assistance and business relationship. I am a Citizen of
Philipine, married to a Nigerian. I live in Nigeria with my
children. My late husband was a loving, caring and hard
working businessman who died unfortunately in a ghastly auto
crash. Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, and
father of my daughters, my late husband intended to establish
a business in the united states of America with the sum of$15
million united states dollars, but unfortunately he died
before this proposed venture.
Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not
entitled to his property (Assets and money) since I am a
woman and my offspring's all girls as I do not have a male
child for my husband. Well, according to some barbaric
traditional laws here in Nigeria (Africa) which doesn't permit
a woman to inherit a man's property, as they are expected by
tradition to take over the management of his business and
other properties including myself who automatically becomes a wife
to one of his immediate brothers. Unfortunately to this
wicked family members, the $15 million united states dollars
which my late husband intended to use in establishing a
business in the United States was deposited in a bank account
unknown to his family.I and the Attorney is the only one
aware of this money,so I have discussed this matter with a
staff of the bank that i want this money personally so that I
will be able to take care of my children's educational needs
since my husband's family members vehemently opposed the
furtherance of their education. According to the staff of the
bank, the best way to secure this money is to transfer this
money to a bank account out side Nigeria For safe-keeping,
later it will be used for business establishment subject to the
Advise of whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I
therefore ask for your sincere assistance in providing us with
your bank details and the enablement to facilitate the
remittance of this fund into your nominated account. As soon
as I get your positive response, I shall provide you with all
the necessary detail for this transfer.
However, I have decided to to give you 30% of the total
money as a reward for your sincere assistance and the
remaining 70% of the money will be for my investment as I
will want to keep aglow my late husbands dream of investing
in real estate. To be able to help me, kindly send through my
email, your personal details including your contact
information for easy communication. Thanking you for
your anticipated response.
Mrs. Zik Ogugua.
