Subject: The Palace of King of Ogoni Kingdom,
The Palace of King of Ogoni Kingdom,
Ogoni Oil producing community,
Rivers State Nigeria.
Dear Sir,
I am Princess Blessing, daughter of HRH King Solomon Omaobi, the king of
Ogoni Kingdom. I am 28 years old and a graduate of Mass Communication.
My father was the king of Ogoni Kingdom the highest oil producing area in
Nigeria. He was in charge of reviving royalties from the multi-national oil
companies and government on behalf of the oil producing communities in
Nigeria. After the hanging of the Ogoni Nine(9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by
the late dictator General Sani Abacha, my father
suffered stroke and died in August27th last year. But before his death, he
called me and told me he has Ten Million United
StateDollars(USD10,000,000.00) cash in his possession, specially deposited
in a Security vault company.He advised me not to tell anybody except my
mother who is the last wife of the (8) eight wives that he married. My
mother did not bear any male child for him. Which implies that all my
father's properties,
companies e.t.c., we have no share in them because my mother has no male
child according to African
Tradition. My father therefore secretly gave me all the relevant documents
of the said money, and told me that I should use this money with my mother
and my younger sisters because he knowsthattradtionally, if he dies we
cannnot get anything, as inheritance.
He importantly advised me that I should seek foreign assistannce and that I
should not invest this money here in Nigeria because of his other wives and
male children who happen to be my elders. I am soliciting for your
immediate assistance to get a Bungalow for us, where I will live with my
mother and two younger sisters and further advise me where and how I will
invest the balance money overseas, possibly on products of your company and
other profitable ventures.
I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this money
out of Nigeria to any country of your choice where we can invest this money
judiciously with you. You are entitled to a
reasonable part of this money based on our agreement, and God will bless you
as you help us.
PLease i needed you to kindly send me your contact informations[your phone
and fax number including your cell phone where i can reach you at all time
for further concrete dicussions regards to further development of this
transaction.
Awaiting your response asap and God bless.
Regards.
Princess Blessing Omaobi.
