I am Princess Mercy Mosheshe,daughter of Chief Olu Mosheshe, the king of Ogoni Kingdom. 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 nine Ogoni Indigenes including Ken Saro Wiwa by the late dictator General Sani Abacha, my father and rest of these communities leaders continued to agitate for the due right in items of the royalties, by which the present democratic government resloved to be paying more quarterly 13% deprivation as a result of environmental degradation in these
communities. But unfortunately, my father suffered stroke and died December 7th last year.

But before his death, he called me and told me he has Eleven Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars (USD11,560,000.00) cash in his possession, specially deposited in a Security 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 two younger sisters because he knows that traditionally,if he dies we cannot get anything as inheritance.He importantly advised me that I should seek foreign assistance 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.

Since his death, my mother, two little sisters and I are trapped in
obnoxious custom traditional rites. We have suffered maltreatment and
untold hardship in the hands of my half brothers and my late husbands
family, simply because my mother did not bear a male child for my late
father. They have taken all that my mother suffered with her husband to
acquire including treasure, houses and his bank accounts closed by them. I wanted to escape to the United State of America [USA} with my mother and two little sisters on exile, but again they conspired and stole our International Passports and other traveling documents to further frustrate us.

It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to help receive/secure these funds overseas and to help me invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of getting out to meet with you in your country.

I have had several telephone discussions with the Assistant Director of
the Security Company and he has expressed willingness to cooperate with
me whenever I find a reliable foreigner. This is why I have contacted
you to help save my mother, two younger sisters and I, by assisting us
to transfer and receive these funds in your account overseas on our
behalf. But you would need to give me sufficient assurance that if you
help me, you would not divert the funds. My mother and I have resolved
to give you 20% of the total sum. This is all my mother, two little
sisters and I have got to live on. Please, I have reposed my confidence
in you and hope you will not disappoint me.

Upon receipt of your positive response, I will forward to you the
contact details of the Security Company for you to open up ommunication
with them and to find out the possibility of you receiving this fund on
our behalf as the sole beneficiary.

I look forward to receiving your urgent response through my private email address

You can also call my latefather's financial adviser Mr. Kingsley Nwosu
on his mobile

Best Regards,

HRH Princess Mercy Mosheshe
