Greetings to you,
I am Mrs. Mshelia Alamieyeseigha, the wife of the Bayelsa state
Governor. Following the sudden issues of the money lundering in
united kingdom in septermber 2005, I have been thrown into a state of
utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the British and
Nigeria government. This tribulation of life is gradually wearing me
down to my early grave and the urgent need for this letter arise with
great consideration for my well being and that of my entire family .I have no doubt about your capacity and goodwill to assist me in
receiving into your custody (for safety) the sum of $17.4M (united
state dollar) , deposited in my favour by my husband governor
Diepreye Peter Alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa State. The money is
currently kept in a Trust Deposit Account a West African Sub-
Regional Finance & Security Co. As it is legally required, the
administration of my husband is under the authority of the family's
lawyer named Barr.Gaga Kufur.
However, the British and Nigeria Government has set up a panel of
inquiry to probe the financial activities of my husband with a
decision to freeze all his assets.
The British high Commission in
Nigeria and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).
Fortunately, our family Lawyer had secretly protected the Personal
will of my husband from the notice of the investigators and have
strictly advised that the willed money be urgently moved into an
overseas account of trusted foreign partner without delay.
The Government had earlier placed foreign travel embargo on all our
family members, and seized all known Local and International outfits
of our business empire.
My husband was put in custody by the london metropolitan police under the law of money lundering(financial crime)
The situation has been so terrible that we are virtually living on
the assistance of well wishers. In view of this plight, I therefore,
expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this call
(S.O.S) to save my children and me from a hopeless future.
I hereby agree to compensate you with a reasonable sum (based on
negotiation)for your assistance in this regard, when the fund is
finally received into your bank account. Our Attorney has perfected
arrangements with the manners to effect complete dislodgment of this
money within a week of the receipt of your response through his email
address below. They have equally guaranteed a safe and smooth
transfer.
May the Grace of God be with you.
