Subject: IMPORTANT PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
Dear Sir/Madam,
Good-day to you. Let me start by intorducing myself to you, and I hope you
will keep my identity very confidential to yourself only.
name is Olumuyiwa Obasanjo, the only surviving son of Mrs. Stella Obasanjo
the wife of the president of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria and the first
lady who died on the 22nd of October 2005 in Spain while undergoing surgical
operation.
To cut my long story short, I want to secretly have a business relationship
with you. I want you to provide a safe account in a safe place where we can
jointly make a transfer of about US$9.5million. It MUST not be in the United
States and United Kingdom because of their strong financial policies to
check-mate terrorism. I will not want any form of government interference so
we do not suffer confiscation of the fund.
As you may have known, my family is a polygamous one and as such, I have to
be very careful and be very wise now that my mother is no more because she
has always being my source of strenght.
before the untimely death of my mother, she had so many pet-projects (NGO)
she was handling including the CHILD CARE TRUST which is the most popular
and has more international recognition. I must confide in you that my late
mother made me a signatory to the account. The other wives of my father and
their children have already started giving me problem because my late mother
was chosen by my father as the first lady being his favourite.
I want to get this money overseas so that I can start up something very
meaningful on my own before the other family members get to know about it.
If you are willing to do this with me, please indicate in your reply to me
via this email: olumuyiwaobasanjo001@yahoo.com or you call me on
+234-802-8878424.
so we can proceed.
It is important to note that you must be God-fearing, you must keep all our
communications confidential for security reasons, and you MUST show total
dedication and commitment in terms of putting in TIME, ENERGY and RESOURCES
to actualize this project.
While thanking you for your patience and anticipated cooperation, I await
your response.
Yours Sincerely,
Olumuyiwa Obasanjo.(Mr.)
