I have a new email address!You can now email me at: ben_lino_lino@yahoo.com
Dear Friend,
I 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, 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

I will appreciate if you reply to me through this my private email:
benlino2@excite.com
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 this deal. I look forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Barr. Ben Lino (SAN).
