Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP
Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. The message could be strange, but real if you pay some attention to
it.I could have notified you earlier about it, at least for the sake of your
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies.In bringing this message of
goodwill to you,I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any
pains. I apologize if I infringed on your privacy.
I am Mrs.Gloria Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, wife of the formal governor of
Bayelsa state an oil producing state in Nigeria. I got your email address
from network directory in the time I was desperately looking for a
trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business. My husband
Mr. Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is also on the run from the UK authorities
after he jumped bail last month in London, where he has been charged with
money laundering.
Presently,he has been arrested and taken to Abuja the federal capital
city,Bayelsa State police commissioner, Hafiz Abubakar Ringim, said he
personally took my husband into custody and met no resistance,Seventeen out
of the state assembly's 24 members voted in favour of impeachment after
considering the report of a panel that has been investigating my husband,The
cover of immunity has been taken away from him by the impeachment.while in
office was able to deposit a large sum of money in different banks in
europe. My husband is presently facing trials and the movement of his family
members (including me) is highly restricted. We are forbidden to either
travel abroad or out of our localities.Unfortunately his plans has been
twarted by his sorbodinates who framed him up,the case is presently in court
and he is presently in a house arrest,hense his movement is being restricted
pending on the out come of the investigations by the ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL
CRIME COMMISSION (EFCC).In my last visit to him,he confided in me that I
should not make any attempt to travel out of the country that he has
gathered that my movement and my activities is being monitored.Right now as
I am writing you this letter,my husband comes out of the national news every
9:oopm everyday if you wish to see news papers carrying my husband's story
please kindly let me know.
My husband,during his tenure,deposited the sum of $25,000,000.00 TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS with a security firm abroad (oversea).Presently, the US$25
million my husband transfered out of Nigeria is safe with the security
firm.Before you can get access to it,I have to
give you the password.
I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money transfered into
your account before my government gets wind of this fund,as you know my
husband was a governor in Nigeria before his arrest. My reason for doing
this is because it will be difficult for the Nigerian government to trace my
husband's money to an individual's account,especially when such an
individual has no relationship with anybody in Nigeria.I decided to keep
that money for my family use because it is what is left of my huband's
property ,alot of my husband's assets and bank accounts have been seized
including the money that was seen with him by the British government. At
present the money is safe with the Security Company abroad (oversea).I am
currently and temporarily living in Nigeria with my family' Moreover the
political climate in Nigeria at the moment being so sensitive and
unstable.With this password and informations ,I will send you a power of
attorney to the security firm; When you are ready,I will give you the
information needed before you can get access to the fund. You will then
proceed tothe security firm where the consignment containing the funds will
be released to you.

assistance 5% will be set aside to take care of all expenses that we may
incure during this transaction.Please ,reply by furnishing me with your full
names and complete home address so that I can pass them to my family lawyer
