Subject: HELLO PLEASE BE MERCIFUL TO MY CONDITION !!!
Dear Friend,
RE: CONSIDER MY CONDITION
I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things unfold,we
will know each other better and I got your contact after searching through
the books of your country's chambers of commerce and industries here in
Nigeria believing God you will be of great help to me. I will start by
introducing myself to you, I am Mrs Mercy Obaseki,the wife of Chief Jackson
Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief 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 their 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. As I am
writing to you now,I am no longer assured of a matrimonial home, hence I
seek for your urgent assistance and help me out, which I know will go a long
way in getting 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$22M) 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 securing Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in
Nigeria.
As a civil servant then,he does not want to be exposed, 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 trying to
take all i and my husbnad has laboured 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 grateful to you. To be sincere and honest with you,this
money is never connected with drugs, money aundry,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
bank. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, As soon as I
receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to this I will
furnish you on the next line of action to take immediately. Note,as soon as
the money is successfully transfered into your account, I will start coming
to meet you in your country.I Promise to compensate you very well at the
successful end, this is the guranttee I am giving you from my heart of
heart.
Be informed according to my bank manager,this transaction will not last more
than 7 working bank days and it will be concluded because every
necessary/vital arrangements has been putten in place, take note. Your
negative or positive response will be highly appreciated by me,Thanks and
Godbless your family.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Mercy Obaseki
