FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL
ADVICER TO THE NIGERIAN FIRST
LADY (LATE MRS STELLA OBASANJO)
ABUJA FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Sir,
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Adenuga, Special adviser to the wife of our
President,
Mrs. Stella Obasanjo who just died after unsuccessful surgery in Spain.
I am
contacting you for an urgent and confidential business partnership.
This is a matter of urgency. I just got your contact from the net as I
was
searching for a reliable person whom I will go into partnership with,
as I
don't want anybody known to me for this transaction as a result of the
source of my income which I want it to be a secret of my lifetime. Even
my
husband is not aware. In June 23rd, Mrs. Stella Obasanjo(LATE) gave me
$15.6M USD for safe keep in a Bank in Bangkok Thailand for fear of the
security agents/ Political opponents in Nigeria that are seeking the
means
to tarnish the image of her family as her husband (THE PRESIDENT) has
brought most of the government functionaries that acquired illegal
wealth to
book. If you are conversant with the Nigeria news in any of the world
media
like cnn, you will understand me better. I am still with all the
documents
of the fund. She intended using the fund for investment in real estates
and
purchase of five star hotels before her sudden death.
This fund was deposited in Thailand bank in my name to avoid any trace
to
her family name. And as it is now, I cannot go to Thailand to claim
this
money because of the fact that she is no longer alive to cover secretly
my
trip to Thailand with the power bestowed on her as the wife of the
President
of this Country. What I want now is a foreign partner who will enter
into
agreement with me as the investor so that the fund will be transferred
into
his account for investment. I need someone who is not known by anyone
here
to receive the fund for investment. The fund is right now in one of the
Banks in Thailand. On the receipt of your reply, I will give you all
the
necessary data to apply for the release of this fund into your account.
There is no much procedures and sincerely no risk as I am convinced
that the
bank will transfer the fund into your account once you apply for the
release
of the fund into your account based on my instruction and direction. If
you
are interested to co-operate with me, contact me immediately with your
full
names, contact address, telephone and fax numbers including your Bank
co-ordinates.
I await your timely response.
Regards
Elizabeth Adenuga
