Shortly before her death the First Lady, Chief Mrs. Stella Obasanjo gave me a very huge amount of money to be transferred to an off-shore Security Company abroad. In any case the fund was successfully transferred and it is currently in a safe deposit abroad. All the papers to legally claim the funds are with me but safely put in a place that nobody can discover except if I say so, the amount involved in this transfer is US$12.5m (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). I need your urgent assistance in getting this fund out of the Security Company before her husband begins to find a way of recovering her funds abroad.
Furthermore, I ask for your assistance so that upon my retirement, we can successfully invest this fund together in your country under your supervision. Therefore, I sincerely need your help in this area of investment opportunities in your country. In my Research, Real estate, computers and other things that will bring good returns for our investment worth. Please, can you help me by receiving this fund as the beneficiary? I assure you that there is no risk involved as the funds is already out of Nigeria.
All you need is just an affidavit of change of ownership to put forward before the Security Company and they will inform you on what next to do to receive the fund. This affidavit will be send to you immediately I procured it so I will need your personal information to enable me swear the affidavit on your behalf.
