Subject: MY DEAR CONFIDANT.
Mrs. Zendy Mozart Obaseki,
Flat 8 Block 12 NNPC Quarters,
Garki Abuja Nigeria.
My Dear Confidant,
I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things
unfold, we will know each other better and how I got your contact.I will
start by introducing myself to you, I am Mrs Zendy Obaseki, the wife of
Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief
Executive of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
I am very sure that you will be of a good assistance after carefully
reading my letter. For many years of marriage now between me and my
husband,I have not given birth,and this has really troubled my husband.This
is as a result of so much respect attached to local Tradition Culture
and Custom in there community, so my husband has decided to break the
marriage. In short to be sincere and honest with you,with the present
situation of things now,my matrimonial home look broken.I am being treaten
daily by my susposed legitmate husband to get me out from the home.My
husband parents and brothers are not left out in this matter.This
situation has really affected me psychologically,mostof the time I am in the
church to pray and rest myself,because there is no room for rest in my
own home again.
As I am writing to you now,I am no longer assured of a matrmonial
home,hence I seek your urgent assistance and help me out,which I know will
go a long way in geting me settled down finally.I want to use this
opportunity,since my husband has abandoned me because of childlessness,to
move the $18 million US Dollars into your custody for safe
keeping,pending my arrival in your country. Be informed that this said amount was
given to my husband as gratification from some foreign oil companies he
helpede in securing Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in Nigeria
..As a civil servant he does not want to be esposed,so he gave me this
money to keep in my personal account,this was when the going was okay
between us,so that he can exonerate himself from the eyes of Government
security operatives and the civil service commission(CSC)which is the
body that scrutinizes the activities of all civil servants in Nigeria as
checks and balances for official misconduct.
To be sincere and honest with you,this money is never connected with
drugs,money laundry,firearms and looting,which I beleive might put fears
in you and consequently withdrawing your help for security reasons.
Hence the source of this said money is clean and clear.This money is been
deposited in a SECURITY COMPANY as a raw materials which i wanted to
send abroad. all i needed from you so that you will stand and claim this
fund from the security company as follows.
(1) YOUR FULL NAME.
(2) YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
(3) YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER.
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free and my husband
will not raise any alarm,because he will not like to put himself and
his position in NNPC in jeopardy,and if he does,he stands to loose his
job. As soon as I receive your response and your willingness to help as
regards to this,I will furnish you on the next line of action to take
immediately.
I will start coming to meet you in your country.I promise to compensate
you very well at the successful end,this is the guranttee I am giving
you from my heart of heart that this transaction will not be more than
14 working days and it will be concluded because every necessary/vital
arrangementshas been put in place,take note.
Your negative or positive response will be highly appreciated by me
Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Zendy Obaseki
