Subject: STELLA OBASANJO FUND
FROM MR. WILLIAM FOSU.
Greetings to you,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a
hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must come to you
as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and
become great friends and business partners. My name is Mr. William Fosu,
the present branch Manager of a bank here in Nigeria. I write you this
proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the
information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction
that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a
foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in Abuja
who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered
a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of
$7,500,000 million that has not been operated on for the past 5 years.
>From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to Stella
Obasanjo, who was the wife of president olusegun obasanjo and also the
first lady of the nation who died after undergoing surgery. You shall read
more news about the crash on visiting this site which I got during my
investigation;

The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank
and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of
the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money
as next of kin to the late Mrs Stella Obasanjo meaning that no one is
aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this money without the
help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance
to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank
branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any
foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the
correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to yous.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work
together, so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and may
God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your
urgent response.
Regards,
MR. WILLIAM FOSU.
