Good day friend
l am Fredick lucas, 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 commercehere in Nigeria and have
no doubt in your ability to handle thisproposal involving huge sum of
money.
My father is patrick lucas Chairman harrisonoil (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 menjust a 2weeks to the
april19 2003 election the election that brought this present evil
government
to power for the second time.
My father was killed because he wanted thenigerians to live a very
happy live.
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
productionin Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrelis paid
to
my
father as royalty by the Federal Government since he is from oil
rich region.
My father was also the Chairman of ELEME SpecialOil Trust Fund.
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 ThousandUS
Dollars(US$18.5).This Money originated from theaccumulated royalties
between 1976-1998 .
Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and politicalinstability as
a result of long stay of Military in government. He deposited this
Money
in a
StrongRoom/"VAULTS"with an open beneficiary in a security company
pending
whenhe would finisharrangement to transfer it abroad .
He was planning this before they murdered him inside his living room .
Just before my father was murdered, one day hecalled me just
immediately he
comes back from aso rock he told me thisgovernment might kill him if
care is
not taken due to the defferences he had with the government .
But he is not worried he says if they kill him since he is fighting the
causeof the poor masses.Then he called my attention to the money
and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the
transfer/investmentof the funds abroad.
So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this
greatobjective.I promise to give you 20% 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 ofall
expenses
we may incure during the transaction.
To indicate your interest, contact me urgently andconfidentially 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 together.
Please I will appreciate that you send yourtelephone/fax numbers to
enable me contact you immediately for discussions.
May the almighty God bless you.
