From: Albert Omole <bert_om@yahoo.co.in>
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 08:35:46 +0000 (GMT)
Subject: Your Partnership
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Albert Omole, personal assistant to Late Chief Mrs. Stella Obasanjo, (first lady and wife of Nigeria President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo) who died in Spain after cosmetic surgery. Her death was blamed on complications but we believed that it was plotted. Before her death on the 23/10/2005 she deposited the sum of eight million dollars ($8m) with a security company in Ghana in the pretence of trying to promote the Child Care Trust (an organization which she founded) in Ghana but was actually meant for transferred to her account oversea. She had been hiding under the promotion and advancement of the Child Care Trust in West Africa to launder money. Unfortunately as fate would have it, she did not live to make this particular transfer.
I am in possession of the needed documents to lay claims on this fund but cannot do it alone due to my position as her Personal Assistant. I therefore ask for your total cooperation and assistance in the transfer of this fund oversea.
You will receive a negotiable percentage of the total sum if you can help me to lift this fund oversea by standing claim as the original depositor and providing an account where this fund will be transferred in your country. I want to live and invest this money in your country for economic reasons. Please assume this letter never got to you if you are not interested in the offer, as it requires utmost confidentiality. But if you can assist, do get back to me immediately so that I will give you all the details on how we are going to carry out this transaction successfully. I assure you we shall both rejoice at the end of the day. Waiting for your expected urgent reply. Thanks
Yours truly,
Albert Omole
