Good Day Friend!!
l am Rebbeca George Marshal,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 George Harry Marshal Chairman, Harrison 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
two weeks to the April 19th 2003 election the election that brought
this present evil government to power for the second time.
My husband was killed because he wanted thenigerians to live a very
happy live.But the bucanneers 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 fromeleme (an oil richtown)
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 heir apparent. The money is Twenty
Million, Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars(US$20.7). This Money originated
from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998 Due to poor banking
system in Nigeria and political instability as a resultof long stay of
Military in Government.He deposited this Money in a Strong Room/VAULTS with
an open beneficiary in asecuritycompanypending 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 meand 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 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 30% 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
incure during the transaction.
