Greetings,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable Source and the choice of your country I wish to introduce myself .I am Prince Mark Duke the first son of His Royal Majesty, WIWA DUKE (LATE) the traditional ruler of Eleme Province in the oil area of Rivers State of Nigeria. I am making this contact to you in respect of (US 65,000,000.00) sixty-five million dollar. which I inherited from my late father. This funds was accumulated from royalties paid to my
father as compensation by the oil firms located in our area as a
result of oil presence on our land which hamper agriculture which is
our major source of livelihood. Unfortunately my father died from
protracted diabetes. But before his death he called my attention and
informed me that he lodged some funds with a security firm and
Security Code Numbers and other documentations was also revealed to me
by my late father before his death, he then advised me to look for a
reliable business partner abroad, who will assist me in investing the
funds in a lucrative business as a result of economic instability in
Nigeria.So this is the main reason why I am contacting you to seek
your assistance for us to move this funds from the diplomatic security
firm to any country of your choice for investment purposes. So I will
like you to be the person taking delivery, so that the funds can be
moved in your name and particulars to any country of your choice where
it will be claimed and invested. Hence my father have had intimated
the security firm personnel that the owner of the consignment is his
foreign partner whose particulars will be forwarded to the firm when
due.But I will guide you accordingly. As soon as the fund reaches, I
will then come over to meet you in person, so that we can discuss
physically on Investment details. Based on this instance I and my
family have unanimously decided to give you 20% of the total funds, 2%
for charity homes and 3% for expenses, which may arise during the
transaction, fax and phone bills inclusive. The balance of 75% you
will invest and manage for my family. I hereby guarantee you that this
is not government funds, it is not drug funds and it is not funds from
arms deal or have any terrorist origin.I will give you all proof of
deposit and existence of funds once fully satisfied with your
capability and honesty.Mail with this mail address (markduke_73@yahoo.it). I hope this will be the beginning of a
prosperous relationship between my family and yours Nevertheless if
