Subject: Good Day From Mrs. Juliet Obaseki!!!!!
Mrs. Juliet
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. Juliet Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki, the recently
retired Managing Director, and Chief Executive, Nigerian National Petroleum
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$25M) 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 eyes 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 box and tagged as Diplomatic Documents and film
materials(PERSONAL EFFECTS).I then deposited the box for save keeping in a
security/finance company on January 3rd 2004.
The
security company do not know that the four boxes contains money This was done
for my personal security reasons. The deposit paper reads: The box 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 outside the 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 box 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 box and retrieve the money for my expenses and to
arrange myself for business investment. Please hasten up and help me to receive
the box.
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 box 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 deposit 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 20% of this money if you show your personal commitment in this
transaction and 5% of the money will be used to settle any personal expenses
that have been incurred 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 14 working days and it
will be concluded because every arrangement has been put in place. Your negative
or positive response will be highly appreciated.
Yours
faithfully,Mrs. Juliet
Obaseki.
