Dear VICTIMNAME,
I am so sorry to approach you this way without knowing you prior to this day but I implore you to please read this mail as a request from a friend in need of your assistance.
I am Prince L. M. Dokubo, the second son of chief Abel Dokubo the Igwe of Ogoniland Rivers state in eastern of Nigeria, My father was the traditional ruler of our land (Ogoni Community).He was killed following his role asa rebel leader against the past government of Nigeria.
We are three sons and one daughter and among all I am the second son, according to our tradition, when a man dies every of his sons have the right to benefit from the he's (the father,s) wealth but due to the fact that my senior brother the eldest is from a different mother, he took that as an advantage to claim the companies and other of our father's properties all alone.
He did all these because he is from a different mother, as a matter of fact his mother was the first wife of our father. For the fact that the tradition/custom of our land demands that when a King or traditional ruler dies the first son succeeds him.
But as God may have it, while I was schooling, my father called me secretly and told me everything I felt I needed to know about him why because I was very close to him than (my stepbrother) his first son. For the fact that my step brother was not educated and does not want to be, our father then decided that I should be handling all his companies as soon as I'm through with my studies, he also presented me to his personal attorney who is in charge of the affairs of the family including his investments.So from the day the news of this our meeting with the Attorney got to my stepbrother's hearing till now peace has never been in our family.
My stepbrother consulted our family members who summoned our father and myself for peace meeting, of which they blamed our father for his actions saying that my senior brother is the eldest and deserve to be in charge of our father's properties as the law of our tradition demands.
I went back to school after the meeting only to be called back by our father after few weeks.He took me to Accra Ghana where he deposited two silver trunk boxes containing the sum of 15,000,000USD (fifteen million united states dollars) he also handed over to me the whole documents of the deposited funds and said "My son, I know it is not going to be easy for you to cope with your step brother when I'm no more,but with this you will begin a new life with your sister" He also told me that the money was his share of the money from the land our community sold to one of the oil companies in 2003.Unfortunately he died few months after our visit to Accra Ghana.
There was a big problem in community of who will succeed him as the next Igwe which eventually my stepbrother won the heart of everybody and became the next Igwe after our father.He tried severally to assasinate me when he discovered our late father settled me while he was alive but failed.He even went as far as plotting bomb in my house believing that we (my sister and I) will pass the night in the house but fortunately for us, we passed the night in our church where we had all night praise and worship with other church members.ThingS became so bad that I could no longer stand his and his mother's threats,my junior sister and I have to run to south Africa where we are presently for our dear lives.
Please I will like you to assist us in clearing and transfering this funds to your country for onward investment,as we will like to live and invest this funds in your country. We are ready to offer you 20% of the total sum.Further details will be made known to you about the lifting of this funds legally to your Bank Account upon the confirmation of your interest in this project.

telephone and fax numbers for further details.
