Subject: RE: CONSIDER MY CONDITION
RE: CONSIDER MY CONDITION
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things unfold,
we will know each other better and how I got your contact. I will start by
introducing myself to you, I am Mrs. Tessy Obaseki, the wife of Chief
Jackson Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) I am very sure that you will
be of a good assistance after carefully reading my letter.
For many years of marriage now between me and my husband, I have not given
birth, and this has really troubled my husband. This is as a result of so
much respect attached to local Tradition Culture and Custom in there
community.
And now my husband is dead, In short to be sincere and honest with you, with
the present situation of things now, I am being threatened daily by my
husband family to get me out from the house. My husband parents and brothers
are not left out in this matter. This situation has really affected me
psychologically, most of the time I am in the church to pray and rest
myself, because there is no room for rest in my own home again.
As I am writing to you now, I am no longer assured of a matrimonial home,
hence I seek for your urgent assistance and help me out, which I know will
go a long way in getting me settled down finally. I want to use this
opportunity, since my husband families are trying to abandoned me because of
childlessness, to move this amount of (US$32M) million us dollars into your
custody for safe keeping, pending my arrival in your country. Be informed
that this said amount was given to my husband as gratification from some
foreign oil companies he helped in secu7ring Allocation for the Drilling of
Crude Oil in Nigeria.
As a civil servant then, he does not want to be exposed, so he gave me this
money to keep in my personal account, this was when the going was okay
between us, so that he can exonerate himself from the eyes of Government
security operatives and the civil service commission(CSC)which is the body
that scrutinizes the activities of all civil servants in Nigeria as checks
and balances for official misconduct.
Please i need your urgent assistance because my husband family are trying to
take all I and my husband has laboured for and throw me out of the house,
please don't let this happen to me come and save me out of this trouble and
i will be forever be grateful to you. To be sincere and honest with you,
this money is never connected with drugs, money laundry, firearms and
looting, which I believe might put fears in you and consequently withdrawing
your help for security reasons. Hence the source of this said money is clean
and clear.
This money was deposited in my personal Domiciliary Account and I have
discussed with the bank manager who is very close to me, my intention to
transfer the money out of Nigeria and he promise to render to me all the
assistance I needed to transfer the money out of Nigeria. All I need now is
for you to send me your bank account and other information, to enable my
lawyer apply for foreign exchange at the Federal Ministry of Finance with
your name as the beneficiary of the fund.
This is how my bank has planned it, to avoid any suspicion from our apex
bank. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, As soon as I
receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to his I will
furnish you on the next line of action to take immediately.
Note, as soon as the money is successfully transferred into your account, I
will start coming to meet you in your country. I Promise to compensate you
very well at the successful end, this is the guarantee I am giving you from
my heart of heart.
Be informed according to my bank manager, this transaction will not last
more than 7 working bank days and it will be concluded because every
necessary/vital arrangements has been put in place, take note. Your negative
or positive response will be highly appreciated by me, Thanks and God bless
your family.
