Subject: GOOD TO KNOW YOU
*
Dear Sir/Madam,
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 Tessy 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.
And now my husband is dead, In short to be sincere and honest with you,with
the present situation of things now, I am being treaten daily by my husband
family to get me out from the house. My husband parents and brothers are not
left out in this matter.This situation has really affected me
sychologically, most of 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
for 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 family are tring to abandoned me because of childlessness,to move
this amount of (US$32M) 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 helped in secu7ring Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in
Nigeria.
As a civil servant then,he does not want to be desposed, 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. Please i need your urgent assistance
because my husband family are tring to take all i and my husbnad has labourd
for and throw me out of the house, please don't let this happen to me come
and save me out of this truouble and i will be forever be geatfull to you.
To be sincere and honest with you,this money is never connected with drugs,
money aundry,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 was deposited in my personal Domicillary Account and I have
discussed with the bank manager who is very close to me, my intention to
transfer the money out of Nigeria and he promise to render to me all the
ssistance I needed to transfer the money out of Nigeria.
All I need now is for you to send me your bank account and other
informations,to enable my lawyer apply for foreign exchange at the Federal
Ministry of Finance with your name as the beneficiary of the fund. This is
how my bank has planned it,to avoid any suspicion from our apex bank. Be
rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, As soon as I receive
your response and your willingness to help as regards to his I will furnish
you on the next line of action to take immediately.
Note,as soon as the money is successfully transfered into your account, 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. Be informed according to my bank manager,this transaction
will not last more than 7 working bank days and it will be concluded because
every necessary/vital arrangements has been put in place, take note.
