Subject: YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!!
Dear Sir/madam,
This letter might surprise you because we have met neither in person nor
by correspondence, but I believe that it takes just one day to meet or know
someone either physically or through correspondence. I got your contact
through my personal search, you were revealed as being quite astute in private
Entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in your ability to handle a financial
business transaction. However, I am the first son of His Royal Majesty Pepple
Y. William, the traditional ruler of Bonny province in the Oil rich area
of Rivers state in Nigeria. I am making this contact to you in respect of
USD28, 000,000.00 (twenty_eight Million United States Dollars), which I
inherited from my late father.
As You may be aware that my country is the third largest oil producing
country in the whole world. My father is the ruler of the richest community
in Nigeria. My community produce 5.8% of the total annual Oil production
in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my father
as royalty by the Federal Government to our community. In his position as
the royal head and chairman of the Bonny Oil trust fund. Foreigners often
refer to his kingdom as the Gas/Oil Land. This is because the island floats
atop one of the largest gas and oil deposits anywhere in the world. This
explains is why the island is home to several Multinational oil companies,
such as Shell, Exxon-Mobil, Chevron and one of Nigeria's most expensive
ventures in recent time, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG), these
companies also offers my father a lot of gratifications as the royal father
of the kingdom where they operate.
Some of this money was accumulated from royalties paid to my father as
compensation by the Oil firms located in our area, for hampering Agriculture
which is our main source of livelihood. Unfortunately my father died from
protracted diabetes. Before his death secretely he deopisted the sum of
USD28, 000,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million United States Dollars)in a finance
firm with my name. My problem actually started when my stepmother said that
the next king must be her son instead of me as the heir to the throne but
my stepmother has used her position and influence to convince some members
of the council of elders that my biological mother was not properly married
to my father because my mother is not living in the palace due to some problems
within the family before the death of my father. This action by my step
mother is just a bid to deny me of my right, which I challenged. In the
process there was confusion that divided the communi ty into two factions.
This led to a revolution by the youths and women who are solidly behind
me. Consequently, my international passport was seized just to stop me from
traveling outside the country.
Now I need help. I need someone who will claim the fund my father deposited
with the financial security company and deposit it in his/her personal account
pending when I will be free again. Please, help me to salvage the only hope
of survival that I now have of which my step mother an d the children do
not know about this money. I am in need of help to safe guide this money
so as to settle down and fight for my rightful throne. Right now, I am in
hiding and I do not want this money to stay much more in the security company
because I don't want to incur extra cost on the deposit since I don't know
how long my problem will last. If you can help me in this my time of need,
I will give you 20% of the total sum, while 80% will be kept for me. I look
forward to your helping me.
Yours sincerely,
Prince Yobo William
