Hello, I am Miss Young. It is not every day I receive letters from
a real prince. In this case I received the same letter on 3 of my email
accounts, so it must have been part of a mass mailing:

Dear Sir/madam,
This letter might surprise you because we have met neither in person
nor by correspondence, but I believe that it takes just one day to meet
or know someone either physically or through correspondence. I got your
contact through my personal search, you were revealed as being quite
astute in private Entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in your ability
to handle a financial business transaction.
However, I am the first son of His
Royal Majesty Pepple Y. William, the traditional ruler of Bonny province
in the Oil rich area of Rivers state in Nigeria. I am making this contact
to you in respect of USD45, 000,000.00 (Forty Five Million United States
Dollars), which I inherited from my late father.
As You may be aware that my country is the third largest oil producing
country in the whole world. My father is the ruler of the richest community
in Nigeria. My community produce 5.8% of the total annual Oil production
in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my
father as royalty by the Federal Government to our community. In his
position as the royal head and chairman of the Bonny Oil trust fund.
Foreigners often refer to his kingdom as the Gas/Oil Land. This is
because the island floats atop one of the largest gas and oil deposits
anywhere in the world. This explains is why the island is home to several
Multinational oil companies, such as Shell, Exxon-Mobil, Chevron and
one of Nigeria's most expensive ventures in recent time, Nigeria Liquefied
Natural Gas Company (NLNG), these companies also offers my father a
lot of gratifications as the royal father of the kingdom where they
operate. Some of this money was accumulated from royalties paid to my
father as compensation by the Oil firms located in our area, for hampering
Agriculture which is our main source of livelihood. Unfortunately my
father died from protracted diabetes. Before his death secretely he
willed the sum of USD45, 000,000.00 (Forty Five Million United States
Dollars) and he safely deposited this money in cash into a consignment
and kept it in the custody of a security company without the security
company knowing the content.
I have the certificate of Deposit and any information you wish to have
as a proof to show for it. My problem actually started when my stepmother
said that the next king must be her son instead of me as the heir but
my stepmother has used her position and influence to convince some members
of the council of elders that my biological mother was not properly
married to my father because my mother is not living in the palace due
to some problems within the family before the death of my father. This
action by my step mother is just a bid to deny me of my right, which
I challenged. In the process there was confusion that divided the communi
ty into two factions. This led to a revolution by the youths and women
who are solidly behind me. Consequently, my international passport was
seized just to stop me from traveling outside the country.
Now I need help. I need someone who will claim the fund my father deposited
with the financial security company and deposit it in his/her personal
account pending when I will be free again. Please, help me to salvage
the only hope of survival that I now have of which my step mother and
the children do not know about this money.
I am in need of help to safe guide this money so as to settle down
and fight for my rightful throne. Right now, I am in hiding and I do
not want this money to stay much more in the security company because
I don't want to incur extra cost on the deposit since I don't know how
long my problem will last.
If you can help me in this my time of need, I will give you 20% of
the total sum, while 80% will be kept for me.
I look forward to your helping me.
Yours sincerely,
Prince Yobo William

Dear Sir/madam,
This letter might

I am the first son

area of Rivers state
in Nigeria. I am

My father is the
ruler of the richest

My community produce
5.8% of the total

of the Dollar value
