Dear sir/madam,

MY name is prince martinslise of the Oloibiri Community in Rivers
State of Nigeria. I am a civil servant presently working with the State
Ministry of works as supervisory officer II. My community produces thirty
percent (30%) of the entire crude oil produced in Nigeria. Two percent
(2%)of the Dollar value of this crude oil per barrel is usually paid to my
people as compensation and 0.5% is paid to my father (the Royal Head of
Olobiri) as royalty. My late father, His Royal Highness Chief Odogwu olise
was a member of Board of Directors of an oil company and also the chairman
of the communities, Special Oil Trust Fund. Unfortunately he died in the
middle of last year and was buried according to the local customs.
My late father made in his position as a Traditional Ruler and Chairman of
the special Oil Trust Fund alot of money and left the entire sum for me as
the eldest son to manage it with my mother. This money he instructed me in
his WILL to invest overseas due to the unstable political and economic
situation in Nigeria. He advised I look for an experienced overseas partner
who could assist me to invest this money. And this is how I came to know
your address through the help of my Uncle that works with Federal Ministry
of external affairs. This money is sixty-eight million United States Dollars
(USD 68,000,000.00) and is presently deposited with a security company.
This fund shall be released to me immediately I conclude arrangement with
you on how to move it out of Nigeria. so I would be very happy if you could
help me to move and secure this money in your country for investments.
To discuss in details to effect the transfer. I promise to give you thirty
percent (30%) of the total sum for your assistance while 5% will be for any
expenses incurred during the transaction.
I expect your immediate response either by phone or on this electronic email
address
