Executive of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) I am very sure
that you will be of a good assistance after carefully reading my letter.
For many years of marriage now between me and my husband,I have not given
birth,and this has really troubled my husband.This is as a result of so
much respect attached to local Tradition Culture and Custom in there community.
And now my husband is dead, In short to be sincere and honest with you,with
the present situation of things now, I am being treaten daily by my husband
family to get me out from the house. My husband parents and brothers are
not left out in this matter.This situation has really affected me sychologically,
most of the time I am in the church to pray and rest myself,because there
is no room for rest in my own home again.

hence I seek for your urgent assistance and help me out, which I know will
go a long way in geting me settled down finally.I want to use this opportunity,since
my husband family are trying to abandoned me because of childlessness,to
move this amount of (US$32M) million us dollars into your custody for safe
keeping,pending my arrival in your country. Be informed that this said amount
was given to my husband as gratification from some foreign oil companies
he helped in secu7ring Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in Nigeria.
As a civil servant then,he does not want to be esposed, so he gave me this
money to keep in my personal account, this was when the going was okay between
us,so that he can exonerate himself from the eyes of Government security
operatives and the civil service commission(CSC)which is the body that
scrutinizes the activities of all civil servants in Nigeria as checks and
balances for official misconduct.
Please i need your urgent assistance because my husband family are tring
to take all i and my husbnad has labourd for and throw me out of the house,
please don't let this happen to me come and save me out of this truouble
and i will be forever be geatfull to you. To be sincere and honest with
you,this money is
never connected with drugs, money laundry,firearms and looting,which I beleive
might put fears in you and
consequently withdrawing your help for security reasons. Hence the source
of this said money is clean and clear.
This money was deposited in my personal Domicillary Account and I have discussed
with the bank manager who is very close to me, my intention to transfer
the money out of Nigeria and he promise to render to me all the assistance
I needed to transfer the money out of Nigeria.All I need now is for you
to send me your bank account and other informations,to enable my lawyer
apply for foreign exchange at the Federal Ministry of Finance with your
name as the beneficiary of the fund.
This is how my bank has planned it,to avoid any suspicion from our apex
