Subject: I HUMBLY SEEK YOUR INDULGENCE.
ATTN: The President / Director.
I am MRS. MARY ABDULLAHI the wife of BRIGADIR GENERAL JOSEPH ABDULLAHI the
former director peace keeping operations in the defense head quarters of the
NIGERIAN ARMY, who was found guilty of defrauding the military of
$35MILLION. And has been sentenced to 10years imprisonment.
I am contacting you because of my present Need to engage in a mutually
beneficial business Relationship with person whom I have not had dealings
Before and who do not have any political indignation In my country, Nigeria.
Since the imprisonment of my husband my family has been subjected to all
sorts of harassment, intimidation and Persecution by the Nigerian
government. This is because the people in the government now are people who
believe that my husband victimized them while director peacekeeping
operations in the defense head quarters of the NIGERIAN ARMY. They have
frozen numerous bank accounts and seized monies and assets running into
hundreds of Millions of naira belonging to my family under the Excuse that
my imprisoned husband stole the money. It is in View of this that I seek the
assistance of honest, God Fearing people like you to help me secure my
family's Estate.
Presently I have with me the sum of US$35MILLION, which I wish to transfer
abroad as discreetly and as Expeditiously as possible and I wish with your
help to apply this fund towards investment purposes in your country. This
money is the money my husband is being imprisoned.
With the intensification of the Nigeria Government Probe into my family's
finances and the consequent Detention of my husband on trumped up charges, I
have decided that we act fast to withdraw this money from an aluminum silver
coated trunk box dogged and buried the money in our family guest house which
is unknown to outsider. My husband made this arrangement because he know
that if he should deposit this money in his bank account, it would easily be
traced by the government. Since I have declared my self-Bankrupt. No
records whatsoever exist concerning this money.
Now I wish to solicit for your assistance to transfer this money out of
Nigeria into your account to be applied towards investment in your country.
For your Assistance I propose to give you a commission of 30% of the total
sum involved, which you shall deduct immediately the money is paid into your
account.
Please on your reply. Do send me your full name and address private tel:
/mobile/fax number including your country code. Please, I implore you to
exercise the utmost Discretion in keeping this matter very confidential,
whatever your decision will be. Contact me immediately through email:
Yours faithfully,
MRS. MARY ABDULLAHI
NB: TO BUTRESS MY POINT FURTHER I CAN SEND TO YOU A NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION OF
MY HUSBAND’S ORDEALS.
