Trust Proposal From Mrs.Nelly Obodo

Dear Friend,


I greet you in the name of our lord. My
name is Mrs.Nelly Obodo. I am a widow and a mother
of Two all girls. I know you will see my letter to you
as an embarrassment considering the fact that wedo
not know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient
withme I feel very pleased to contact you for some
assistance and business relationship. I live in
Nigeria with my children. Mylate husband was a
loving, caring and hard working businessman who died
unfortunately In a ghastly auto crash. Beforethe
sudden death of my beloved husband, and father ofmy
daughters, my late husband intended to establisha
business in the united states of America with thesum
of$15 million united states dollars, but unfortunately
he died before this proposed venture. Following his
death, his family members insisted that I am not
entitled to his property (Assets and money) since Iam
a woman and my offspring's all girls as I do not ha ve
a male child for my husband. Well, according to some
barbaric traditional laws here in Nigeria (Africa)
which doesn't permit a woman to inherit a man's
property, as they are expected by tradition to take
over the management of his business and other
properties including myself who automatically becomes
a wife to one of his immediate brothers. Unfortunately
to this wicked family members, the $15 million united
states dollars which my late husband intended to use
in establishing a business in the United States was
deposited in a bank account unknown to his family.I
and the lawyer is the only one aware of this money,so
I have discussed this matter with a staff of the bank
that i want this money personally so that I willbe
able to take care of my children's educationalneeds
since my husband's family members vehemently opposed
the furtherance of their education. According tothe
staff of the bank, the best way to secure thismoney
is to transfer this money to a bank account out side
Nigeria For safe-keeping, later it will be usedfor
business establishment subject to the Adviseof
whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I
therefore ask for your sincere assistance in
providing us withyour bank details and the enablement
to facilitate there mittance of this fund into your
nominated account. As soonas I get your positive
response, I shall provide you with allthe necessary
detail for this transfer. However, I have decided to
to give you 30% of the total money as a rewardfor
your sincere assistance and the remaining 70% ofthe
money will be for my investment as I will want to keep
aglow my late husbands dream of investing inreal
estate. To be able to help me, kindly send through my
email, your personal details including yourcontact
information for easy communication. Thanking you for
your anticipated response.

Mrs.Nelly Obodo.

Nigerian scam baiting is lots of fun, keep us updated.
Tell her that investing in real estate is a money loser currently, and she should invest in Diesel Powered Nuns as they're the next big thing.

got another one !!!!! two in the same day

FROM THE DESK OF
Mr. Tony Marawa
(Auditor Manager)
Fax: 27-11-507-6383
Email t_marawa@tiscali.co.uk )


STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL


Dear Sir/Madam,

With great pleasure I am writing this proposal on behalf of my partners. I got your email address from the South Africa On-line information database.
And I hereby wish to seek your partnership in a transaction of mutual benefit. I am Mr. Tony Marawa, an Auditor Manager in my Bank in South Africa. In the bank where I work as an Auditor Manager, there is an account opened in this Bank in 1990 and the account has been dormant since 2000.


After going through some old files in the records, we discovered that the owner of this account is DR. H. PAUL JACOBI, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Co. A Geologist by profession and he died since 1999. He and his wife were among those that died in an Egypt airline 990 that crashed in 1999.You can confirm this information from the website below from publisher by CNN.WEBSITEPUBLISHEDONCNN. http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.hhtm.
air990.list/index.html


Further enquiring into the records of the account shows that no one knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation further reveal to me as well that his company does not know anything about this account, and the amount involved is (US$ 12.5) Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.


I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local Bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account-holder with proof of documentations because the money is in US Dollars and hence the former owner of the account DR. H. PAUL JACOBI is a foreigner too. Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee pending our visit since our period of disengagement from the civil service is near.


We are presently affected by the South Africa civil service code of conduct laws that prohibits civil servants from operating private foreign accounts.
I have the authority of my partners in office to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your compensation shall be negotiated.


This transaction is 100% risk free provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Furthermore, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. Further details and documentations will be made available to you once you indicate your willingness to work with us.


Kindly contact me through my personal email address ( t_marawa@tiscali.co.uk
) , telephone or fax numbers to indicate your willingness in working with us for security reasons.



Thank you,



Yours faithfully,



Tony Marawa
