Save my soul
I am Miss Funmi Idaho the daughter of the late Chief Mrs. Stella Obasanjo, I
was born out of wedlock between my mother and the President Obasanjo.
I accompanied my late mother to Spain where she died as a result of
complication from surgery in a specialist hospital in Spain.
We left Spain with the sum of $18.5m (Eighteen million, five hundred
thousand United States Dollars) in a modern security diplomatic seal and the
money was made to be deposited in one of the local banks in Spain after all
other things were done. My late mother Stella got this money from various
donation made by international agencies for the benefit of her pet project
called child care trust foundation which the presidency supported immensely.
She decided to use this method to siphon this excess to her account in
Spain and from undergone her annual surgical operation.
Mind you this money is sealed in security diplomatic case to avoid the
dreaded EFCC Security outfit to dictate what was involved.
The money was kept with a security company pending her operation but
unfortunately she died.
As I and her personal aid are the only person who knows about this deal, we
want to approach you to come forward to open an account in your name where
we can transfer this money and lodge it into your account for mutual benefit
of all of us involved.
You are to get 20% for all your involvement. 5% for logistics and other
sundry expenses.
Please direct your mails and calls to Barr. Mathew Njoku who will liaise
with the security Company in Spain for immediate execution. E-mail:
mathewnjoku@uk2.net
Regards.
Miss Funmi Idaho
