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 the Nigerians to live a very
happy live,but the bucanneers that has been ruling this beautiful
country for over 35 years refuse to allow a change,so they decided to
kill him in order to have their way.Meanwhile we are from Eleme (anoil
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 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 result
of long stay of Military in Government. He deposited this Money in a
Strong Room/VAULTS with an open Beneficiary in a security company
pending 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, oneday 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 40% of the
total funds transferred to your vital bank account as compensation for
your assistance.
