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,
