He was buried on Friday the 3rd of December 2004.
I have a different problem now, apart from my husband's death. The
future of my children and I, are in serious danger, base on circumstances
around the family in relation with the tradiction of my husband's home
town. We are from Aja Ojobo, Ekurede Itsekiri, Warri of Delta state of
Nigeria. The tradition of this part of Nigeria, have it that once a man
dies, the family members, are entitled to all his assets, including
the wife and kids. This very ackward tradition, has caused alot of
problems between widows, their children and the husband's family.
I am married to a family of high intergrities and respected men in this
society, who I can not face physically in terms of problems over their
late brother's assets. I am civilized woman, I will not allow a rubish
tradition to rubish our future.
Seven days after my husband's burial, I was called before the whole
family to submit documents of my husband, including his bank accounts to
the family base on this babaric tradition.
Base on my late husband good intension for his children, I secured one
thing which will sustain us in life. My late husband made a wise
provission to make sure that in case of death, I and the kids will not face
the babaric effect of the useless tradition. My husband made a deposit
of us$45million with a finance firm in Europe. Like he used to tell me
when he was alife, He told me times without number that death is
inevitable, if he is no more for us, that i must make sure i protect his kids
from any failure to bring them up in the normal way both educationally
and otherwise. He adviced me to make sure I do not let his brothers get
to this dopsit in his absence. He instructed me to seek for a good
foriegner, that will assist me secure the money and assist us move away
from this country build up a new life. He charged himself while he was
alife that our children must have the best of educations in life.
My husband made money while he was alife and our kids should not suffer
in the hands of the family for tradition sake. It is only for this
reason that he made this secret offshore deposit outside his family
knowledge.
Already, my late husband kept the documents of this deposit in the
custody of our lawyer friend in Benin. So there is no way the family will
get to know this. Please base on the sensetivity of this matter, I will
please plead you to keep this as a top secret. The air they said, has
ears. We may not know who is by the side.
What I need from you is your full consent to present you to the
financial firm as the beneficiary to the deposit. In this way, the finance
firm will transact with you directly as the beneficiary release the
deposit to you. Once you retrieve the fund, you will Keep the money with you
until we arrenge for our coming over to meet you there in your country.
When we come over, we will look for a lucrative business to invest the
money.
Every other arrengments concerning this, will be after you reply to
this mail, give me your full contact detail and phone number, and private
email where the need be.
I will gladly offer you a good percentage of the money for your kind
assistance.
Note that your immediate reply is needed so that i will not look for
another person.
Thank you while I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Mrs. Marry Agbeyegbe
