Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP
Mrs. Roseline Obaseki
Flat 8 Block 12 NNPC Quarters
Garki Abuja Nigeria.
Hello Dear,
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things
unfold,we will know each other better. I will start by introducing
myself to you.
I am Mrs. Roseline Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki,the
recently retired Managing Director, and Chief Executive, Nigerian
NationalPetroleum Corporation (NNPC).
I am really sure that you will be of a good assistance after going
thoroughly through this letter.
For many years of marriage now between me and my husband, I have not
given birth, and this has really troubled my husband. As a result of
the
respect given to local tradition culture and custom here in Nigeria, my
husband
has decided to break the marriage and I have divorced from him. As at
now,I
am no longer Assured of a matrimonial home,hence I seek your urgent
assistance and help which I know will go a long way in getting me
settled
finally.
I want to use this opportunity to move the sum of (US$22M) into your
custody
for safe keeping, pending my arrival in your country.
This said amount was given to my husband as gratification from some
Foreign Oil Companies he helped in getting Allocation for the Drilling
of
Crude Oil in Nigeria.
As a civil servant, he does not want to be exposed, hence he gave me
this money to keep so that he can be exonerated from the eye of
government
security operatives in Nigeria.
I contacted my direct sister who introduced an idea for me which I
followed.
The money was then neatly packed in two boxes and tagged as Diplomatic
Documents and film materials(PERSONAL EFFECTS).
I then deposited the boxes for save keeping in a security/finance
company in
Tradis Finance Company in Republic of Benin Cotuni on January 3rd 2004.
The security company do not know that the two boxes contains
money This was done for my personal security reasons.
The deposit paper reads: two trunk boxes containing film materials and
diplomatic documents.Please take proper note of this.
Some top government officials in Nigeria use this method to transfer
money to their foreign partners outsidethe country for confidential
reasons.
The little money I use for personal expenses here has finished that is
why I needed your assistance to process the release of the boxes from
the security company where it was deposited.
I want these boxes to taken out of the security company to your
destination so that I can be able to open the boxes and retreive the
money
for my
expenses and to arrange myself for business investment.
Please hasten up and help me to recieve these boxes.
Be informed that this money is not connected with drugs; money
laundry,firearms
and looting which I believe will put fears in you to render the
required
assistance
needed from you and consequently withdrawing your help for security
reasons.
Hence the source of this said money is clean and clear, Rather,to help
me,kindly prepare your mind so that I can direct you to the Security
Company where the boxes were deposited for the necessary release
to your destination on my behalf under diplomatic immunity.
During your contact with the Security Company,tell them that you are my
business associate and that I instructed that the boxes I deposited
with them be sent to your address. Be rest assured that this
transaction is
100% risk free, and my husband will not raise any alarm because the
deposite
documents was written in my name and in my possession now.
As soon as this money is moved to you, and you confirm to me that you
have received it, I will be coming to meet you up there in your country
where I wish to live the rest of my life. I will be offering you 25% of
this
money if you show your personal commitment in this transaction and 25%
of
the money will be used to settle any personal expenses that have been
incured along the line of the transaction and for all your help at this
time
of need.
Be informed that this transaction will not last more than 14working
days and it will be concluded because every arrangement has been put in
place.
Your negative or positive response will be highly appreciated.
