Though I have not considered this medium to be the best manner to have
approached you on this issue being that the internet has been greatly abused
over the recent years and is very unsecured for information's of vital
importance. I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other means
could have been faster and more efficient than here
My Dear I know this message will come to you as a surprise, I have already
thought of what will come to your mind or how you will feel when you see my
message, but because of the persuasion I have in the spirit, and the
conviction God has placed in my mind, I picked up courage to write you
knowing that it is Gods wish.
I am Stella Evans, daughter of Chief Lucky Evan, the King and paramount
Ruler of Delta Kingdom. I am 25 years old and a graduate of Mass
Communication. My father was the king of Delta 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 Delta Nine (9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by the late
dictator General Sani Abacha, my father suffered stroke and died in August
27th last year. 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 mother who
is the last wife of the (8) eight wives that he married.
My mother did not bear any male child for him. Which implies that all my
father's properties, company's e.t.c., we have no share in them because my
mother has no male child according to African Tradition. My father therefore
secretly gave me all the relevant documents of the said money, and told me
that I should use this money with my mother and my younger sisters because
he knows that traditionally, if he dies we cannot get anything, as
inheritance. He importantly advised me that I should seek foreign assistance
and that I should not invest this money here in Nigeria because of his other
wives and male children who happen to be my elders.
I am soliciting for your immediate assistance to get a Bungalow for us,
where I will live with my mother and two younger sisters and further advise
me where and how I will invest the balance money in any developed country
like yours, and I want to know if there is any way we can invest these
funds possibly on
products of your company and other profitable ventures.
I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this money
out of Nigeria here we can invest this money judiciously with you. You are
entitled to a reasonable part of this money based on our agreement, and God
will bless you as you help us,
