searching for a reliable and reputable person to handle this
transaction,which involves the transfer of the sum of thirty-five
million United States dollars to a reliable account abroad. Your role

amount was secured from excess oil sales from Nigeria crude oil.

shell petroleum development company for the month of august 2005 by
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Crude oil
price was peg at $22.00 per barrel and fortunately for oil producing
countries like Nigeria, there was rises in oil price to about $27.00
and $28.00 per barrel and as a result there was excess oil sales and I
believe you would be aware of this rise in Oil price in last two
years. Out of this $1.2 billion excess oil funds, my colleagues and
