Subject: GOOD DAY
Mrs. florence Obaseki
Flat 8 Block 12 NNPC Quarters
Garki Abuja Nigeria.
Hello Dear,
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. florence Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki,the
recently retired 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 ure and custom here in Nigeria,
my husband has decided to break the marriage and I have
divorced from him. 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$18M) 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 so that he can be exonerated from the
eyes of
government security
operatives in Nigeria.
I contacted my direct sister who introduced an idea for me
which I followed.The money was then neatly packed in four boxes and
tagged
as Diplomatic Documents and
film materials(PERSONAL EFFECTS).I then deposited the boxes for save
keeping
in a security/finance company in Nigeria on January 3rd 2000. The
security
company do not know that the four boxes contains money This was done
for my
personal security reasons.The deposit paper reads: four trunk boxes
containing film materials and diplomatic documents.Please take proper
note
of this.Some top government officials in Nigeria use this method to
transfer
money to their foreign partners outside
the country for confidential reasons.
The little money I use for personal expenses here has finished that is
why I
needed your assistance to process the release of the boxes from the
security
company where it was deposited.
I want these boxes to be taken out of the security company to
your destination so that I can be able to open the boxes and retreive
the
money for my expenses and
to arrange myself for business investment.Please hasten up and help me
to
recieve these boxes. 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, Rather,to help me,kindly prepare your mind so that I can direct
you
to the Security Company where the boxes were deposited for the
necessary
release to your destination on my behalf under diplomatic
immunity.During
your contact with the Security Company,tell them that you are my
business
associate and that I instructed that the boxes I deposited
with them be sent to your address. Be rest assured that this
transaction is
100% risk free, and my husband
will not raise any alarm because the deposite documents was written in
my
name and in my possession now.
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
if you show your personal commitment in this transaction
and 2.5% of the money will be used to settle any personal expenses that
have
been incured
along the line of the transaction and for all your help at this time of
need. Be informed that this transaction will not last more than 14
working
days
and it will be concluded because every arrangement has been put in
place.
Your negative or positive response will be highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. florence Obaseki
