Here we go again. -----Original Message----- From: ataraid-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ataraid-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Prince Tamuno Daniels Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 8:38 PM To: ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Ogoni. Dear Sir, Compliments of the day to you and I hope this mail gets to you in good health. First and foremost, I must introduce myself to you. I am princetamuno daniels, the first son of His Royal Highness Late Chief ogheneovo daniels , the erstwhile ruler of Ogoni land. You might be wondering about the purpose of my sending this mail to you. The reason is not far fetched. As you might have heard over the years, Nigeria being an oil-rich country has numerous multinational oil prospecting companies operating within her shores. Of all the numerous oil companies includes Shell Petroleum that operates largely in our kingdom being one of the richest deposits of crude petroleum in the country. The operation of Shell Petroleum greatly devastated the Ogoni environment and left the farmlands reduced to rubbish. This led to numerous uprising by the youths of the land, this culminated into the killing of some leaders that were thought to be dubious (that was when my father was killed). The erstwhile military dictator then saw to the execution of the nine prominent Ogoni leaders that led the gruesome uprising. This decision was greeted by criticisms from the entire world. But now everything is over and we now have a civilian government. After the death of my father (His Royal Highness), I stumbled on some of the documents of my father which happens to be one of the agreements reached by Shell and four Ogoni leaders with my father being the head for a compensation to the tune of twenty seven million United States Dollars (US$27,000,000.00) to the land for the enormous destruction to the farmlands. After series of deliberations and consultations, this amount was paid to the community through their board of trustees headed by my late father. The fund was thereafter fraudulently diverted and deposited with a security company in europe to be claimed with a foreign interest whose particulars was left blank. The reason for this is that my late father was intended to provide the name of a foreign partner before his abrupt demise. Consequently, after the death of my father, the new appointed leader instituted a probe into the affairs of the late leaders and I made it a point of duty to attend the public hearing of the committee. To my greatest delight, there was no trace linked to this money of which I am in possession of the certificate of deposit, meaning that the community has assumed that the fund must been used fraudulently and embezzled by the dead men. Since my family is very much under spotlight, I shall find it very difficult to travel outside our land, which necessitates me to have a link outside Nigeria. Therefore going by the above background, I solicit your help to act as the foreign interest, I shall make available to you the documents of claim to facilitate the release of the fund to you as the beneficiary from the security company. The exercise is simple and straightforward without any difficulties/risks as I have already opened discussions with the security company as the heir apparent to the throne of Ogoni land, being the first son of my late father and also the adjudged next of kin. For your troubles and help, you shall be duly compensated with 25% of the total amount (US$6,750,000.00) while I will be entitled to 75% US$20,250,000.00) of the fund being the owner of the fund. Should you be interested in this proposal, please send me an e-mail code named CONFIDENTIAL on the above address so that I can brief you on how to proceed. Your urgent response would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Prince tamuno daniels. _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
