Subject: Dear Friend Urgent..
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 onfidential 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 igeria 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 igeria 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
informati! on 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.I promise to give you 20% of the total funds as
compensation for your 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 for easy documentations. Please, now that all
eyes are on me ,I would want you to please contact my eldest son Vincent
Alamieyeseigha,who is going to be working with our lawyer as regards this
transaction.Please feel free to give him a call so that he can brake down
the modalities involved in transaction.Below is his phone
number+234 8028 7793 73
I am willing to give you a reasonable percentage of the fund for your
assistance.
Yours sincerely,
