Subject: ABOUT MRS. HILDA WILLIAMS.
CHALLENGE SECURITIES AND FINANCE LIMITED
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DR. KAREEM ADAMS
ADDRESS: 16 ADESHINA STREET AGUDA LAGOS
TELEPHONE 234-1-8133107.
EMAIL: challengesecfin@challengesecfin.cjb.net
Attn: Dear Friend.
I am contacting you having considered you highly reputable and capable of
assisting my group, in our understated prudent
business proposal, I got your email contact through the national chambers of
commerce directory and decided to contact you.
I am Dr. Kareem Adams, the Executive Director of Challenge Securities and
Finance Limited, the personal accountant to Mrs. Hilda Williams, the wife of
late chief (Engr). Anthony Olufunsho Williams, a Nigerian international
business guru, top politician and a gubernatorial aspirant for Lagos state
2007, but was murdered by other Guber aspirants in his residence by
assassins. Please view these web pages for further reference:
http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2006/july/28/national-28-07-2006-01.htm
The fund for the gubernatorial campaign of the late politician valued at:
twenty two million five hundred united states
dollars, (US$22,500,000.00) has brought serious misunderstanding among other
relations of the late politician and his wife Mrs. Hilda Williams, although
the police have started to unravel those behind his killing, but while this
goes on, we would like to transfer this sum out of the reach of the
relations of the late politician. This amount is currently deposited with my
security and finance company by the testator for his campaign, with relevant
documents kept with Mrs. Hilda Williams.
I and Mrs. Hilda Williams have concluded arrangements to contact a
trustworthy and viable foreigner who would assist to
facilitate the processing of this amount into his private account.
It is very important however that the foreigner would be required to
negotiate and purchase a very comfortable residential home in his country
upon receipt of the fund, which would serve as a shelter for the widow and
her children to settle down for life, as soon as the children complete their
education.
The rest of the amount would be put into investments on behalf of Mrs. Hilda
Williams and her children. You would be adequately compensated for this
great assistance.
Please note that this family is very popular and thus, we should maintain
the secrecy of this project to avoid protest from other family members and
the public in the course of processing the fund into your account.
Please let me know your acceptance of this proposal so that we can commence
process of the transfer.
Best regards.
Dr. Kareem Adams
