From: PRINCESS TINA EZEGUMBA.
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am Princess Tina Ezegumba daughter of Chief DIKE EZEGUMBA, the King of
Ogoni Kingdom. I am 21 Years old and a graduate of Mass Communication. My
Father was the King of Ogoni Kingdom the highest oil Producing area in
Nigeria. He was in charge of Receiving Royalties from
the Multi-national oil Companies and government on behalf of the
oilProducing communities in Nigeria.
After the hanging of The Ogoni Nine (9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by the
former Military President of Nigeria, Late General Sani Abacha,my father
suffered Stroke and eventually he died November 15th last year.
But before his death,he called me secretly and told me in confidence that he
has the sum of Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars(US$10,500,000.00)
cash in his Possession,and that this fund was
secretly deposited in a Security company here.
He advised me not to tell anybody except my mother who is the last wife of
the (8) eight wives that he married. My mother did not bear any male child
for him. Which implies that in all my father's
inheritance, properties and companies we will have no share in them because
my mother has No male child for the father and according to African
Tradition.
My father therefore secretly gave me all the relevant information and
secret codes of the said fund deposited in the Security Company, and told
me that I should use this fund with my mother and my younger sisters
Because he knows that traditionally, if he dies we Cannot get
anything, as inheritance.
He personally advised me that I should seek foreign assistance and that I
should not invest this fund here in Nigeria Because of his other wives and
male children who happen to be my elders ones.
Hence, I am soliciting for your immediate assistance to enable us move
this fund from the Security company here to your Country, if you can
promise to be Reliable and Trustworthy. Then once the fund gets to your
hands,you will first procure a home for us wherein we will live with my
mother and two younger sisters and Further advise me where and how I will
invest the balance of the fund in your Country, possibly on products of
your Company or any other profitable ventures.
I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this
fund out of the Security Company to your country where we can invest this
fund judiciously with you. For this reason you are
entitled to a reasonable part of this fund based on our agreement, and
God will bless you for helping us. My Mother and I suggests to give you 30%
of the total sum as compensation for your expected
earnest help/assistance in this transaction.
Please if really you are interested and want to assist me, kindly send your
full name, and your direct telephone number to me via this email so that I
can forward it to my Attorney who will contact you with the full details of
the transaction and update you with process on how you can be able to claim
this fund on my behalf.
This business is Risk free and everything shall be concluded within seven
days of receiving the needed information from you.
May God bless you.
Best regard,
Princess Tina Ezegumba
