Good day
l am Mr. James Obi, Civil Servant in the Ministry of
Health. 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 father Chief Isama obi(Now Late) was the Royal Head
of my community, ELEME (an oil rich town) in Nigeria.
My community produces 5.8% of the total crude oil
production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of
each barrel is paid to my father as royalty by the
Federal Government. My father was
also the Chairman of ISAMA Special Oil Trust Fund. In
his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the Oil
Trust Fund, he made some money which he left for me
as the only heir toinherit.
The money is EIGHTEEN Million, Five Hundred Thousand
US Dollars(US$18.5 This Money originated from the
accumulated royalties between 1976-1998 . Due to poor
banking system in Nigeria and political
instability as a result of past Military rules
(1985-1999) , 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 when he
died late last year of HeartAttack.
Just before my father died 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 thisbusiness.
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
telephone/faxnumbers to enable me contact you
immediately. May the almighty God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
MR James obi
