Dear Sir,
I would like to use this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is George Osagie, i am 45 years of age, and from Isoko community of Warri in the Delta State of Nigeria.I am the Sole Representative to the community in matters concerning our welfare.
My reason of getting in contact with you, pertains the sole aim of accommodation, in Funds transfer.
My community in the Delta State of Nigeria is the area with the largest oil deposit in Nigeria, 75% of the oil export of Nigeria originates from my local government, inspite of this fact my community has been all the while neglected by the federal Govt. of Nigeria and Shell Petroleum PLc. (the main oil Co. in the area) The community Chief ( Abed Ogbemudia) sued the Govt. and Shell Plc. at the international court of justice in the Haag, Netherlands; we were asking for Compensation, we however got a judgement asking the Govt for compensation, which offcourse was not honoured, hence we took to arms. It is a battle ground now in my local govt.
The Shell PLc. however decided to settle out of court and agreed to pay a sum of 22,7million USD (Twenty two point seven million US Dollars) as reperations to my community. We as the financial body of the community decided to accept the widow`s mite we were offered, hence my anticipated contact with you.
Principally i need an honest man with just an account where this fund could de deposited and the assurance of getting it when it is done. I and my associates will retrieve this fund on your confirmation of it`s arrival in your account. I must vehemently underline the fact that i do not need anything except an assistance from you, i only need an accommodating account for this fund.offcourse you will be adequately rewarded for your time and efforts.
We have decided on a total of 10% ( 2,27 Million USD ) of the fund as your renumeration,which i believe will be worth your while, the rest ( 20,230,000.00 USD ) we will thankfully take and distribute amongst my community members.
This proposal is from my point of view risk free for you.and please handle it as confidential, the details i will put at your disposal as soon as i am furnished with your tel. and fax numbers.
For any questions you might have or need to ask, please contact me through my e-mail address ( osageo@luxmail.com ), i will gladly answer and will be at your disposal as soon as i can communicate with you.
I wish to reiterate the fact that the possibility of your confirmation of my genuity through the appropriate authorities is very welcome by me, details you will recieve when the time comes, i am only a representative of my community which deserves this renumeration.
Thanks for your anticipated co-orperation.
Yours sinscerely,
George Osagie.
