l am Jane Marshall, the wife to chief executive of Harrison oil . l know
this proposal will come to you as a surprise because we have not met before
either physically or through correspondence. I got your contact from our
chamber of commercehere in Nigeria and have no doubt in your ability to
handle this proposal involving huge sum of money.My husband is Chief
Federick Marshall Chairman harrisonoil (Now Late) he was the chairman of the
opposition party in nigeria ANPP in south south nigeria. But was
murdered in cold blood by unknown gun men just a 2 weeks to the april 19
2003 election the election that brought this present evil government to
power for the second time.
My husband was killed because he wanted the nigerians to live a very happy
live .But the bucanneers that has been ruling this beautiful
country for over 35 years refuse to allow a change,so they ecided 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 5.8% of the total crude
oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrelis 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. In
his position as the Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made some money which
he left for me as the only heirapparent.] The money is Twenty Million, US
Dollars (US$20USD).
This Money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998 . Due
to poor banking system in Nigeria and politicalinstability 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 his 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 defferences he had with the
government. But he is not worried he says if they kill him since he is
fighting the cause of the poor masses.Then he called my attention to the
money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the
transfer/investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if you
could accept to help me achieve this great objective.I promise to give you
20% of the total funds transferred to your vital bank account as
compensation for your assistance. Five percent (5%) has been set aside to
take care of all expenses we mayincure during the transaction.
To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially for
moreinformation and the roles you will play in this business. All the legal
Documents concerning this Money will be sent to you as soon as we agreed
together. Please I will appreciate that you send your full name and
telephone/fax numbers to enable me contact you immediately for discussions.
May the almighty God bless you.
Mrs Jane Marshall
