Dear friend
I am Usman Dagogo, it is true that we have never meet
each other before and I believe that this name sounds
strange to you, do not see this letter as a junk or
one of the Internet scam mails because everything I am
going to tell you here has prove and evidence and we
believe that only time will vindicate the just.
I don’t know how familiar you are with the recent
events that befall the president of Nigeria Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo.
I am personal financial secretary to late first lady
of federal republic of Nigeria late Mrs. Stella
Obasanjo who died in Spanish hospital on early hour of
22nd of Oct 2005,
Please to read more about the un-sudden death of late
Mrs. Stella, please visit: www.thisdayonline.com <http://www.thisdayonline.com> or
www.vanguardngr.com <http://www.vanguardngr.com>
I am writing this letter in confidence that we should
have a mutual understanding on this news I am going to
pass across to you,
On several occasion I traveled out side the country
with the late first lady, we normally move a huge
amount of money of the country through her diplomatic
immunity coverage as the first lady, our luggage’s are
not been search by any law enforcement agency at the
airport, our last trip to Spain on 21st Oct, 2005, we
travel with a sum of $15million united states dollars
which she intended to invest in Spain because we
normally travel to Spain for her body surgery.
Right now, I am writing you, I am in position of this
fund and only me knows everything about this fund and
it’s arrangement, our arrangement is that the luggage
contained the mention money will be deposited to a
security company in Spain and after her medication,
that is on Tuesday, she will make arrangement to meet
some people for the investment purposes, I took the
consignment to the security company and deposit it
with my name and on Sunday morning, the doctor called
me and said that she is dead, I can’t believe it, I
have to call the president and pass the information to
him.
Now, nobody knows anything about this money, and I
want to now present you as the beneficiary of the
consignment so that we will meet in Spain, as I do not
want anybody to have a trace on this consignment,
I have the deposit certificate and shipment airway
bill of the consignment with me now,
Please, I consider this as an opportunity for me to
make my fortune but this is not something I will do
alone to avoid suspicious since the management of the
company knows nothing about it,
Please I am in Nigeria now, if you are interested to
assist me, kindly send to me now your private phone
number and address so that I will call you for further
discussion,
This is highly confidential. I believe you will not
expose this information to anybody.
Mr. Usman Dagogo
