(May peace be upon you)
I am Miss. Jen Tinubu the only daughter of late Dr. David
Tinubu. My father and mother were very wealthy farmers and
cocoa merchant when they were both alive. After the death
of my father, long ago, my mother was controlling his
business until she was poisoned by her business associates,
which she suffered and died.
Before the death of my mother recently in a private
hospital here in Dakar where she was admitted, she secretly
called me on her bed side and disclosed to me about the sum
of fifteen million US dollars.
($15 million) she left in a security firm; it was the
money she intended to use for investment before she was
stroked down by the effect. She also instructed me that I
should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my
choice who will assist me collect this money from the
security firm to oversea where the money will be save and
invested wisely. I am yet to collect the funds.
Because of the current political problem here in my
country, I decided to use the money abroad where it will be
save and invested. Therefore, I am crying and seeking for
your kind assistance in the following ways: (1) To contact
the security firm and collect the money deposited there (2)
To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am a lady of 27
years old. (3)To make arrangement for me to come over to
your country to further my education and to secure a
resident permit for me in your country.
As soon as I receive your urgent reply indicating your
interest to assist me to actualize the money from the
security firm then i will provide you with further details.
I will be waiting to hear from you.
Yours,
Miss. Jen Tinubu
