Dear Friend,
Although i know this proposal might seem strange
to you or as a surprise because we have not met
before either physically or through correspondence.
We do not know or have seen before, First and
foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you
am Victoria Marshal (Nee George) the chief executive
of harrison oil. I got your contact based on
recomendations, from a very reliable source 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
Harry Marshal Chairman harrison oil (Now Late) he
was the chairman of the opposition party in nigeria
(ANPP) in south south nigeria. Though was murdered
in cold blood by unknown gun men just few weeks to
the april 19th 2003 election, the election that
brought this present evil government to power for
the second term. My husband was killed because he
wanted the nigerians to live a very happy life. But
the bucanneers that has been ruling this beautiful
country for over 35years refuse to allow a change,
so they decided 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 78.8% of the total crude oil
production in Nigeria yet we are beign marginalised
however due to my late husband educational
background and his rising political image 0.5% of
the Dollar value of each barrell is 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 (ESOTF.) In
his position as the Chairman of the Oil TrustFund,
he made some money which he left for me and my two
little kids as the heir apparent. 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 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 our 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
differences he had with the government. But he is
not worried, he says! if they kill him since he was
fighting for the poor masses, then he must have died
a hero, there he called my attention to the money
and charged me to look for a reliable foreigner who
would assist me in the transfer/investment of the
fund abroad. So I would be very grateful if you could
accept to help me achieve this great offer. I promise
to give you 20% of the total funds transferred to your
preferred 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.
The followings are my specifications for your
consideration and immediate attention: I wish to
invest in a stable economy, my interest is a company
with potentials for rapid growth in long term business
if your country`s bi-laws allows foreign investment.
Provide me the following Informations:

(2)Your Residential Address
(3)Your Age
