Subject: HELLO
SAVE A SOUL.
I write this letter with a heavy heart knowing very well that I am being
victimized and oppressed by my step-mother yet there is no one to help. My
father died leaving me behind to ascend the throne as the "Amayanebo" the
king of the Ogoni people. On knowing this, my step-mother used her political
powers to prevail on some corrupt community leaders to deny me of the
kingship. As a result of that the youths embarked on angry protest
destroying things. This made the government to institute a commission of
inquiry to investigate the cause of the violent protest. Consequently, I
have been placed on a house arrest pending when the commission of enquiry
will finish their investigations.
All these are happening to me because my biological mother did not live with
my father until his death. Also my country derives the highest percentage of
Crude Oil from my community. For this the oil companies are paying royalties
to the king. So my step mother would not want me to inherit the thrown. She
would rather prefer her own son which is contrary to our tradition to be the
king. So she has used her position and power to buy the elderly people in
the community who are supposed to install me as the king. They have
installed her son, my junior as the "AMAYANOBO", king of the community.
My problem now is that before the death of my father he willed some amount
of money to me. This money was deposited with a security company outside my
country for safe - keeping. I am still under house arrest and my travel
documents have been seized. I don't just know what to do. The only option I
have right now is to give someone the LETTER OF AUTHORITY to enable him or
her transfer the fund on my behalf into his / her account. I am doing this
because I don't have any foriegn account. Also the rate at which my
step-mother is going after me she will do more harm to me if she notices
that my late father left so much for me. I am not financially ready for all
the troubles this woman is giving to me. However, with this money in my
possesion I can seek redress in a law court. I am very sure that I will be
vindicated at last.
Your commission for helping me is negotiable in addition to that you stand
to gain more when they will crown me the king of my community. Your
commission is beyond the immediate gain so please, do not charge much as
commission. As soon as we conclude negotiation on your commission we will
sign a memoradum of understanding and then proceed without delays.
Please, help me to safeguard this money by transfering it into your account
pending when I will be free again. If I leave it still in the security
company I will not have the fund to seek redress for the injustice that has
been done to me. Please, help me out and save a soul. The fund amounts to
US$16,000,000.00(Sixteen Million United States Dollars).
If you are interested in saving a soul please, reply me and send me your
phone number for further communication. I will also give you more
information.
Stay blessed.
Prince Dagogo Williams
