Subject: Good day to you,
Good day to you,
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 Rose Oparah the wife of Chief John
Oparah who worked with the Petroleum Resources Ministry here in Nigeria.
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 was
not able to give birth,and this has been the problem since the death of my
husband .This is as a result of so much respect attached to local Tradition,
Culture and Custom in there community that either of his relatives has to
remarry me,as it stands they have all married and I can not see myself being
a second or third wife.
I am being treaten daily by my husband's relatives to get me out from the
home and have succeeded in taking away all that I suffered with my husband
to acquire.This situation has really affected me psychologically, 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
your urgent assistance and help me out,which I know will go a long way in
geting me settled down and start up a new life.
I want to use this opportunity,since my husband has died and do not have a
child of my own,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 helped in securing Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in
Nigeria.As a civil servant he does not want to be exposed,so he deposited
this money with one of the banks and 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 believe might put fears in you and consequently withdrawing your
help for security reasons hence the source of this said money is clean and
clear.
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free and as soon as I
receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to this,I will
inform my lawyer to contact you immediately. As soon as the money is in your
possession ,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.
Thanks and God bless your family.
Mrs Rose Oparah.
