HELLOO
I am Princess ozigi okafor, daughter of Chief Oti okafo the king of Ogoni
Kingdom. I am 28 Years old and a graduate of Mass Communication.
My Father was the king of Ogoni 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 Ogoni Nine (9) including Ken Saro Wiwa
by the late Dictator General Sani Abacha, my father suffered Stroke and
died November 15th last year. But before his death, he called me and told
me he has twenty Twelve Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars
(USD 23,560,000.00) cash in
his Possession, Specially deposited in a Security 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 fathers' properties, companies' e.t.c, we have no share in them because
my mother has
No male child according to African Tradition.
My father there fore 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's 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 in Will live with my mother and two younger sisters and Further advise
me where and how I will invest the balance money overseas, 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 to any country of your Choice where 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.
Please reply through my e-mail Looking Forward to hear from you as soon
as possible. Best regard.
Princess
