Mrs.Rekia Hamza Al'Mustapha
#12, Alhaji Sheu Danbaba Avenue
Off Airport Road
Lagos State
Nigeria
I have decided to write to you to help me because I can no longer cope with my problems on my own. I need you to help me in the name of Almighty Allah, the beneficent and merciful. I know you can assist me if only you are prepared to understand. I am very much interested in you and your nationality and would like to trust you and work with you.
I am Rekia Hamza Al' Mustapha, wife of detained Major Hamza Al'Mustapha, the Chief Security Officer to late General Sani, a past Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Since the death of the said Head of State, my husband has been incarcerated and is presently facing trial for the crimes committed by his administration. He is being punished for the crimes of the office he occupied. The charges against him are so much that I greatly fear for his life.
Since that time my family has been subjected to several persecutions by the government of the day. All my husband's money and properties have been confiscated and his bank accounts frozen. I have also made numerous attempts to travel out of the country with the money my husband kept in our country home, but it was seized before I could conclude arrangements. This actually gave me serious psychological problems. You can read more details from this web page http://dawodu.com/coup3.htm
As a result of these problems, I decided to tactically move some of the funds through my trusted lawyer, Barrister Fedricks Okoli and deposited it with a Finance and Security House here who in turn moved it to their head office in Europe. We did this without the knowledge of the government. These funds are in a total of USD$45m (Forty Five Million United States Dollars) sealed in security boxes and kept in a deposit vault.
Presently I cannot travel out of the country because the government has since confiscated my passport and also because my husband needs my support at his ongoing trial for the malicious allegations against him for the crimes committed by his office and administration.
It is in the light of the above that I am compelled to solicit for your kind assistance in helping me claim the funds from the security company in Europe and keep same safe for me in a good business investment. l know you would wonder why l am not soliciting for assistance from well placed Nigerians, it's really sad. You see, all my husband's 'friends' whom we have asked for assistance absconded with our money, later returned and used it to win the gubernatorial election in my country and are now powerful and untouchable figures. Deceit, hatred and greed are the order of the day in Nigeria. This disgraceful act by Nigerians has made it necessary for me to seek foreign assistance.
Since I am constantly watched by Security agents and my movement is some how restricted, I have directed my lawyer, Barrister Fedricks Okoli to handle this business with you. If you should find it in your heart to help me, please email, phone or fax your response directly to him on Telephone number +234-802-458-3108 or fax number+234-9-272-2670. His email address is: fedricks_okolichambers@yahoo.com and he will direct you on how to collect the funds from Europe for safe keeping. Also enclose your telephone and fax numbers to enable him send you an agreement that you must sign as an assurance for me that my family's money would be well taken care of by you.
For your assistance, I hereby authorize you to deduct 20% of the $45m after you have claimed the money from the Finance and Security House. This shall serve as your commission; please note that all expenses that you may personally incur in the process would be returned to you as soon as you have claimed and cleared the consignment from the Finance House.
Once again, I want to appeal to you in the name of the God you serve to sincerely and honestly render this assistance to me and to also treat this information with utmost confidentiality as I would not want the funds to be confiscated by those in authority because that would be the final shock of our lives.
Kindly include your fax number to enable us fax the relevant documents with which you shall proceed to claim the consignment from the Finance House in Europe.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Rekia Al'Mustapha
