l am mrs favour Divine, the wife of chief executive of Federick 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 commerce here in Nigeria and have no doubt in your ability
to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money.My husband is Chief
Federick Divine 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 2 weeks 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 bucanneers that has been ruling this beautiful country
for over 35 years refuse to allow a change,so they ecided 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
production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrelis paid to
my
husband 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 heirapparent.] The money is Twenty Million,
US
Dollars (US$20USD).
This Money originated from the accumulated 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
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
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 defferences 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%) has been set aside to take care of all expenses we
may incure during the transaction.

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 your full name and
