Subject: Re: Update me.
Dear Friend,
crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but
it was borne out of desperation and current development. Please bear
with me. I am Barrister Ben Lino a solicitor at law. I was the
Personal attorney to Her Excellency Mrs Stella Obasanjo, wife of the
president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria His Excellency President
Olusegun Obasanjo, Herein after shall be referred to as my client.
On the Sunday, October 23, 2005 , my client Her Excellency Mrs Stella
Obasanjo had traveled to Spain to undergo surgery and died from
complications resulting from that surgery. I have contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money she deposited with a finance security
company, hoping she will use the money for her Good Works. I am the
only person who knows about this as her personal lawyer. Nobody knows
that she is the real owner of the fund, because i helped her to
register the fund with another name as the owner of the
fund, so as to prevent the Federal Ministry of Finance from probing
the fund.I seek your consent, to present you as the beneficiary of
this fund, so that the proceeds of this valued cash of USD$81 million
dollars can be transfer to you.
Secondly, this will give us the power to continue the Good work of our
Late first lady who was a Christian and love doing the WILL of God
before she Died, her fovourite quote is HEBREWS 11. God promises that
His children willstruggle in this life, but He also promises to be
faithful. She built many motherless baby homes and homes for the old
ones all over the world and her Last Wish was to use this Fund to
build one of the world biggest less privilege home in Vietnam and
other parts of the world . So i advice we put this fund into her kind
of Good life style. This means 10% for me, 10% for you as our Legal
fee for carring out the Last Wish of a dead Woman and 80% for her
unwritten WILL which is building of ophanage homes, schools, churches
and others. I would get all necessary legal documents that would be
needed and used to back up this claim we may make. All I require is
your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of law. I have all documents
backing the fund., see the site below to see Madam's death
www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/10/23/obasanjo.obituary
Moreso! Do not fail to send me your telephone number with which I
would be able to call you, so we can talk on how i can meet with you
in person, so that we can discuss extensively one-on-one as regards
his deal.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Barr. Ben Lino (SAN).
