Good Day,
l am Mr.Chris Kolade, Civil Servant in the Ministry of Health. l
know this proposal will come to you as asurprise 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 father Chief Isama Kolade (Now
Late) was the Royal Head of my community, ELEME (an oil rich
town) in Nigeria. My community produces 5.8% of the total crude
oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each
barrel is paid to my father as royalty by the Federal Government.
My father was also the Chairman of ISAMA Special Oil Trust Fund.
In his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the Oil Trust
Fund, he made some money which he left for me as the only heir
to inherit.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 past Military
rules(1985-1999) ,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 when he died late last year of Heart
Attack. Just before my father died 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 funds abroad. So l would be
very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this great
objective.I promise to give you 15% of the total funds
transferred to your vital 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 business. All
the legal Documents concerning this Money will be sent to you as
soon as we agreed ether.Please I will appreciate that you send
your telephone/fax numbers to enable me contact you immediately
for discussions.
May the almighty God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Chris Kolade.
