Subject: COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY
My name is HON.ADENIYI JONES, I was the personal assistant to Late Mrs.
STELLA OBASANJO, the former wife and first lady to President Olusegun
Obasanjo.
As you might have already heard on air, my late boss died on the 22nd of
October 2005,after an unsuccessful surgery at a Spanish Hospital. The whole
nation and the world at large had been thrown into mourning as we mourn her
exit.
This sad event occurred 14 days to her proposed birthday anniversary that
had already been planned and every machinery put in place for this great and
extra-ordinary occasion, as it would never be again.
Due to my closeness to the late First Lady, and the trust she had on me, I
was made the Organizing Committee Chairman of this great occasion. A
whooping sum of $9.5M had been set aside for this 1-week occasion. A total
of $3.5M had already been spent on logistics and preparations toward this
occasion, and some part spent during her sad burial ceremony leaving the
committee with a balance of $6M which has been lodged with two separate
security companies in Europe and Asia respectively at $3M in each.
I am writing this mail to you to solicit for your assistance in transferring
this said sum of $6M out of these security companies. This is as a result of
the imminent redundancy that awaits all of us under the office of the First
Lady, as we have been asked to vacate our offices with immediate effect.
My fate now lies in your hands, as on successful completion of this business
will help me come over to your country, invest and start up a new lifetime
relationship with you, as I am ready to come over to your country and live
permanently.
I ready to give you 30% of the total sum, 60% will be for me while 10% will
be for any expenses that might be incurred in the course of the transfer.
Please treat this as confidential as ever as this will surely improve our
welfare. I strongly hope on you and believing you to be my saving grace on
imminent redundancy that awaits me as a result of this irreparable loss.
As soon as I get your reply to this mail, we will proceed with the business,
PLEASE HAVE NO FEAR AS ALL ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE.
I also look forward to your experienced advice as to any viable business
that I can embark on in your country. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
HON.ADENIYI JONES
