Greetings, aim writing this letter in confidence believing that if it are the wish of God for you to help my Mother and me. God Almighty will bless and reward you abundantly and you would never regret this. I am Princess Amy Harry Marshall 27 years old a student in the University of Lagos Nigeria in the city of Lagos.

I am the only Daughter of Dr Marshall Harry from the Southern part of Nigeria, port Harcourt Rivers state, in EMENE VILLAGE, one of the biggest town where oil is been produced in the country.


My father was a contractor to the Chevron Petroleum Oil Company; from the year 1999 to 2002 he was one of the members Board of Trustee to NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC). Under Mr. Jackson E.Gaius Obeseki (JP) Group Managing Director (NNPC) and as an elected chief in our community he was also directed to be in charge over the fund realized from the SHELL PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT COMPANY (SPDC) and Chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of our youth and community development in our jurisdiction.

In month of Feb 14, 2003 he was appointed as a chairman ALL NIGERIA PEOPLES PARTY (ANPP), to become the Senate President for the year 2007. But today, it was a thing of sorrow and tears that the Assassins were murdered my father right in his room at his Villa at Abuja Capital Territory (FCT) in March 5th 2003. My father died as a result of political Gang up in our nation.

Then after the burial of my Father, It was a thug of war between my mother and the family members of my late father, who was after his wealth and properties, they made our life to be a threat as to eliminate me since my father has no son who can take charge over his properties and wealth. Now they have succeeded in taking over his properties he has.

But I still give thanks to Almighty God that my late fathers lawyer could be of a good Samaritan to tell me and my mother about the money my late Father deposited with the STANDARD TRUST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC (STB) In which we hope to invest this fund in to REAL ESTATE BUSINESS in any foreign country abroad. Now the lawyer has given me a go ahead to be in search of a faithful and trustworthy person who will stand for us as a next of kin to this sum of? US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United State Dollars only). That was been deposited with the STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC. As the lawyer of my late father who holds the vital documents that covers this said fund, have agreed to put the said person in the position as the next beneficiary to this deposited money.


As I have discussed with my mother where she is in a hide out, and she agreed with me to sign an agreement and to give the said person who will endeavor time and effort in transferring of this? US$12,000,000.00. In to a foreign account 15% of this said money. We will also entrust our own share of 85% in to his care, to invest this in any profitable area in his assistance.

Please kindly reach me through my private email address,. Please bear this in mind that this transaction is 100% risk free and please keep it confidential due to the amount involved. I hope to hear from you soonest please and will like you to send to me your full name and house address and country telephone/fax number for easy communication in this transaction.
