Need Attention (ASAP) (10/12/2005)
l am Lilian Whyte, the wife of chief executive of Whyte 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 Whyte, Chairman Whyte 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.
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. Please I will appreciate that you send your full name
and telephone/fax numbers to enable me contact you immediately for
discussion.
