Subject: Hello! ( this would be of great interest to you, pay ATTENTION Please)
The Palace of King of Ogoni Kingdom,
Ogoni Oil producing community,
Rivers State Nigeria.
Attn: Sir / Ma,
I am Dr.(Mrs) Vivian obasiek, the last wise of HRH King Abonime obasiek the
king of Ogoni Kingdom. I am 39 years old and former Minister on Petroleum
Resources Federal Republic of Nigeria, My husband was the king of Ogoni
Kingdom the highest oil producing area in Nigeria.
He was in charge of reviving royalties from the multi-national oil
companies and government on behalf of the oil producing communities in
Nigeria.
After the hanging of the Ogoni Nine(9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by the late
dictator General Sani Abacha, my husband suffered stroke and died in August
27th last year 2003 But before his death, he called me and told me he has
Twenty Three Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars
(USD23,560,000.00) cash in his possession, specially deposited in a Security
vault company here.
He advised me not to tell anybody except my first son (PRINCE) whom just
graduated from the University of Nigeria Nsukka, because it is polygamous
family as my late husband married (8) eight wives.
However, I am expanding my search to your country because reports reaching
me from a consortium of marketers and business men across the world has
revealed that they are many trustworthy business men and women in your
Country and as such I think they deserve to be incorporated into bigger
ventures as an opportunity for expansion. Considering the fact that I have
children left under my care and other diversified responsibilities, I want
to invest this money into a very reliable and good business in your Country
with the aim of maximizing profit.
I therefore solicit your assistance to help me out in selfguarding the fund.
I pray that God would bless you mightily as you sincerely assist me in
geting and invest this money wisely and have a way to compensate you
reasonably afterwards.Please you can also can contact me in my priavte
email:
