Subject: GOOD DAY FRIEND.
Good day friend
l am George Alice Marshal, the chief executive of harrison oil
l know this proposal will come to you as a surprise because we have not
met before either physically or through correspondence.
I got your contact from our chamber of commerce here in Nigeria and have
no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of
money.
My husband is Chief Harry Marshal Chairman harrison oil (Now Late) he was
the chairman of the opposition party in nigeria (ANPP ) in south south
nigeria. But was murdered in cold blood by unknown gun men just two weeks to
the
april 19 2003 election, the election that brought this present evil
government
to power for the second time..
My husband was killed because he wanted the nigerians to live a very
happy life.
But the bucanneers that has been ruling this beautiful country for over
35years refuse to allow a change,so they decided to kill him in order to
have their way .
Meanwhile we are from eleme (an oil rich town) in south south Nigeria.
My community produces 5.8% of the total crude oil production
in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrelis paid to my
husband as royalty by the Federal Government since he is from oil
rich region.
My husband was also the Chairman of Eleme Special Oil Trust Fund(CESOTF.) In
his
positionas the Chairman of the Oil TrustFund, he made some money which he
left
for me as the only heir apparent.
The money is Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars (US$18.5).
This Money originated from the accumulated royalties between
1976-1998.
Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as
a result of long stay of Military in government. He deposited this Money in
a
Strong Room/"VAULTS"with an open beneficiary in a security company pending
when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad .
He was planning this before they murdered him inside his living room .
Just before my husband was murdered, one day he called me just immediately
he
comes back from Asso Rock he told me this
government might kill him if care is not taken due to the differences he
had with the government.
But he is not worried, he says! if they kill him since he is fighting the
cause of the poor masses, then he had died a hero, there 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 fund
abroad.
So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this
great offer, I promise to give you 20% of the total funds
transferred to your preferred bank account as compensation for your
assistance.
Five percent (5%) has been 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 Transaction,
All the legal Documents concerning this Money will be sent to
you as soon as we agreed together.
Please I will prerogated you send your telephone/fax numbers to
enable me contact you immediately for more discussion.
looking forward to your great assistance,
George Alice Marshal.
