INTRODUCTION: l am Mrs. dorcas obasi l know this proposal will come to you as a surprise because we have not met before either physically or through correspondence. I have no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money. THE SUBJECT: MY HUSBAND CHIEF D.OBASI (Now Late) was the Royal Head of my Community, JESSE (an oil rich town)in Nigeria. My late husband'S community produces 3.5% of the total crude oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my husband as royalty by the Federal Government.My husband was also the Chairman of OMPADEC,Jesse branch.


In his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the OMPADEC, Jesse
branch,he made some money which he left for me and our children as the only thing to inherit. The money is Twelve Million US Dollars($12M). Though this said fund accumulated between the period 1976-1998. Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of past Military rules (1985-1999), he deposited this Money in a Strong Room/safe with an open beneficiary in Apex Bank of Nigeria pending when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad as a CONTRACT PAYMENT. He was planning this when he died late last year of Heart Attack.

THE PROPOSAL: Just before my husband died he called my attention to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the transfer / investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me archieve this great objective.


I promise to give you 20% of the total funds transferred to your vital bank
account as compensation for your assistance. Five percent (5%)would be set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction. To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially for more information and the roles you will play in this business. All the legal information concerning this Money will be sent to you as soon as we agree together.

Yours faithfully,

Surely, they don't get any takers any more? Or does greed overtake common sense?
