Good day friend
l am Victoria Douglas, the 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 commerce here in Nigeria and have no
doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money.
My husband is Chief Harry Douglas Chairman harries oil (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 2weeks to the April
19 2003 election the election that brought this present evil overnment to
power for the second time. My husband was killed because he wanted the
Nigerians to live a very happy live.
But the buccaneers that has been ruling this beautiful country for over
35years refuse to allow a change, so they decided 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 barrels 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 heir apparent.
The money is Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousands dollars(US$18.5).This
Money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998 . Due to
poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of long
stay of Military in government. He deposited this Money in a
strongRoom/"VAULTS"with an open beneficiary in a security company pending
when he could 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
came back from aso rock he told me this government might kill him if care is
not taken due to the differences he had with the government.
But he is not worried he says if they kill him since he is fighting the
couse 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
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 may incur during the
transaction.
To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially for more
information 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 telephone/fax numbers to enable
me contact you immediately for discussions.
May the almighty God bless you.
victoria douglas
