Subject: PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT OF MAIL TO ME,
Dear Friend,
When I picked up your contact today i have this desire to go through
your profile though not even enough in giving me the detailed
information to access your capability of a cordial relationship and
confidentiality,though it is risky trusting a total stranger with
such a huge amount, However,after going through your little profile
with due deliberation and considering your personality I decided it
is wise to contact you directly and seek your assistance in a very
legal business dealing that will be of mutual benefit to both of us.
I think I still believe you will not disappoint me,
I am Princess Joy Asari (a Medical Doctor with the Federal Ministry of
Health) here in Nigeria.
The Subject: My father Chief Martin Dokubo Asari (Esamma xxii of
Eleme Kingdom) (Now late) was the Royal head of my community, Eleme
(Eleme Kingdom an oil rich town is a tract of densely inhabited forest and
farmland lying along the fringes of the Niger Delta wetlands north and east
of the oil city of Port Harcourt. It is home to massive and proven oil and
gas reserves.)
in Nigeria. My community produces 5.8% of the
total annual Oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value
of each is paid to my father as royalty by the federal government.
In his position as the royal head and chairman of the Eleme Oil trust fund,
he made some money, which he kept behind, for his family. The money is
Fifteen Million, Five Hundred thousand US Dollars (US$15.5m).
This money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1998.
Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a
result of past military regimes (1985-1999), he deposited this money
with an open beneficiary in a local security firm 2004, He told the
Security Company to safeguard the fund until he finishes arrangement
to transfer it abroad. He was planning this when he died last year of heart
Attack.
The Proposal: Just before my father died, he called my attention in
respect of the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist
me in the transfer/investment of the fund.
And that led in contacting you. So I would be very grateful if you
could accept to help me achieve this great objective.
I promise to give you 25% of total fund transferred as compensation
for your assistance, Five percent (5%) will be set aside to take care of all
expenses we may incure during the transaction.
Best regards,
Miss. Joy Asari.
