Mrs victoria Marshal.
l am victoria Marshal (NEE douglass) , 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 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 ''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 husband as royalty by the
Federal Government since he is from oil rich region.
My husband 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 political
instability as
are resultof long stay of Military in government.
He deposited this Money in a StrongRoom/"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 hecalled me just immediately he
comes back from aso rock he told met his 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.
