Subject: DEAR FRIEND.
REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend,
I am MRS SUSSAN WILLIAMS the FINANCIAL ADVISER to LATE MRS STELLA OBASANJO
WIFE OF THE PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO of the Federal Republic of NIGERIA.
I am contacting you in confidence to help me in collecting the two trunk
boxes deposited by my boss LATE MRS STELLA OBASANJO in a SECURITY COMPANY IN
Europe the consignment contains US$30,500,000.00(THIRTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND U.S DOLLAR)which was secretly sealed in one big metal box for
security reasons.
My boss LATE MRS STELLA OBASANJO deposited this money in a security company
in Europe before her untimely death in SAPIN. I personally therefore appeal
to you for your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where
I believe it will be safe. since i cannot leave Nigeria due to the
restriction of movement imposed on me as the FINANCIAL ADVISER TO THE LATE
MRS STELLA OBASANJO.Every arrangement has been being made by me for a lawyer
to meet with you face to face for the completion of this transaction.
Presently I can not go to the Security Company in Europe to claim the funds
because of the restriction of movement imposed on me right now. My lawyer’s
friend here in Nigeria has asked me to make contact and get a reliable
person that can help us claim the consignment. It has been resolved that 30%
will be the person's share for nominating an account for the purpose and any
other assistance you will give in this regard,10% has been slated for the
reimbursement of all local and international expenses which may be incurred
in the transfer process. Finally, 60% will come to myself, which is to buy
shares and stock in country to secure my children's future, To facilitate
the conclusion of this transaction if accepted, do send me promptly by email
the following:
(1)Your full name and address
(2)Your Company’s name and address
(3)Your Telephone and Fax number
(4)Your Age
Please note that I have assured that the transaction will be concluded
within 14 working days upon my receiving from you the above listed
information. The lawyer shall commence the process by contacting the
Security Company in Europe informing them that you will be coming to pick up
the consignment where the Security Company has it office for easy
collection. This will happen as soon as I hear from you. May I at this
point, emphasis the high level of confidentiality, which the business
demands and hope you will not betray the trust and confidence, which I
repose in you. However, you may need to give me sufficient assurance that
you will not sit on this fund when this is finally remitted into your
account. As soon as I receive your response shall forward to my attorney the
information to enable Him contact you for more details. You will have to
liaise with him for a smooth transfer of the fund. I shall forward to you
the certificate of deposit and other vital document to enable you clear the
funds.
Best regards
Mrs.Sussan Williams
