Subject: My Dear Friend,
My Dear Friend,
l am George Grace Marshal, the Chief Executive of Harrison oil’s 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 commerce here in Nigeria and have
no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of
money. My husband is Chief Harry Marshal Chairman Harrison oil (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 Men just a 2weeks to the
April 19 2003 election the election that brought this present evil
government to power for the second time. My husband was killed because he
wanted the Nigerians to live a very happy live. But the buccaneers that
have been ruling this beautiful country for over 35 years refuse to allow
a change, so they decided to kill him in order to have their way. View
this web site for more information about what i am talking about
( http://www.buhari2003.org/PDP%20_is_responsible_for_death.htm )
Meanwhile we are from Eleme (an oil rich town) in south south 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 since he is from oil rich region.
My Husband was also the Chairman of ELEME Special Oil Trust Fund. In his
position as the Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made some money which
he left for me as the only heir apparent. 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 long stay of Military in government. He deposited this Money in
a Strong Room/"VAULTS" with an open beneficiary in the (Central Bank of
Nigeria) pending when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad.
He was planning this before they murdered him inside his living room. Just
before my husband was murdered, one day he called me just immediately he
comes back from Aso rock he told me this government might kill him if care
is not taken due to the differences he had with the government.
But he is not worried he says if they kill him since he is fighting the
cause of 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/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 20% of the total funds transferred
to your vital Bank Account as compensation for your assistance.
Five percent (5%) will be 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 together. I would require from you by
returning fax and phone confirmation as a matter of urgency the following:
1. Beneficiary/ Account Name and or Company Name,
Address office and home phone and fax #.
2. Name, Address, Phone and Fax # of your Bank.
3. Account # of Beneficiary, Routing, Swift or
Telex # of your Bank.
The above information would be used to make formal applications as a
matter of procedure for the release of the money for onward transfer to
your account. It does not matter whether your company does contract
projects of the kind described here. The assumption is that your company
won the major contract bid and subcontracted it out to other companies.
More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields
win major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for
execution. We have strong and reliable connections and contracts at the
Apex Bank (Central Bank of Nigeria) and the Federal Ministry of Finance
and I assure you that the fund will be released and transferred if we get
your co-operation to assist us in this deal. As soon as the transfer is
concluded we shall, through our contract, withdraw all documents used from
all the relevant Government Ministries and parastatal for 100% security.
May the almighty God bless you.
George Grace Marshal.
