Attn:
Dear Sir,
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. Roseline Obaseki, the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki, the
recently retired Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I pray that you will be of great
assistance after going through this letter.
For many years of marriage with my husband, I did not give birth to any
child and this has really affected my marriage to a great extent. As a
result of the respect given to local custom and tradition here in Nigeria,
my husband was forced to marry another woman, thereby breaking my marriage
with him and I have no option than to divorce him.
I am now left without a husband after many years of marriage; hence I am
seeking for your urgent assistance and help, which I know will go a long way
in helping my situation. I want to move the sum of (US$35.5M) into your
custody for safe keeping and investment purposes, pending my arrival in your
country or anywhere we may agree to meet. The said amount was given to my
husband as gratification from some Foreign Oil Companies he helped in
getting Allocation for Drilling of Crude Oil in Nigeria. My husband
subsequently gave this money to me for keep.
As a civil servant, my husband was not allowed to be seen with huge sums of
money; hence he left the money in my custody, to avoid the eyes of the
government security operatives, who are always investigating retiring civil
servants. Following my present predicament, I discussed with a close sister
who introduced an idea to me. The money was then neatly packed in Trunk
Boxes and tagged Diplomatic Documents and Film Materials(PERSONAL EFFECTS).
I have deposited the funds for safe keeping in a security/finance company in
January 2003. The security company does not know the actual contents of the
boxes. This I did for security reasons as the deposit documents read: Trunk
Boxes containing Film Materials and Diplomatic Documents.
I am actually aware that some top government officials in Nigeria used to
send money to their foreign partners for investment in confidence, hence I
embark on this. Now, the little money I am using for my personal expenses
has finished, resulting to my need for your urgent assistance. I want to
process the release of the funds from the security company to you
immediately. This will enable me to come over for the good purpose of
investment. I can only have access to the money only when it is taken out of
the Security Company and of course out of Nigeria.
Please indicate your interest to help me in this situation. Be informed that
this money is not associated with Drug or Money Laundering. It is also not
connected with Looted Funds as it was given to my husband as appreciation
for job well done. Therefore the funds are not questionable and there is no
risk attached to it, hence the source of funds is clean and clear. Please
kindly make up your mind to help me so that I can direct you on how to
proceed with the Security Company, which will get the funds release to you
on my behalf. You would only need to inform the Security Company that you
are my business associate and that you are receiving the boxes to study the
contents and develop on them.
My husband will not raise any alarm because the eyes of the government are
on him and besides, the deposit documents were issued in my name and are in
my possession now. In short, he has used the money to settle me! For now, it
is only my personal lawyer that is aware of this matter with me and I will
allow him to take over the communication when I have agreed with you. His
name is Barrister Isa Bello.
Please understand that I will be ready to offer you 20% of this money for
your assistance and commitment in this transaction while 5% will be used to
settle any expenses that may arise in the process of this transfer to you.
Also note that this transaction will not last more than 14 working days to
be concluded because every arrangement has been put in place. You can also
contact me through my alternative email address (roseline_oba54@ny.com)
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs roseline obaseki.
