Dear friend,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance
in the context stated below: May I first introduce myself. I am Mohammed
Abacha, the eldest son of Late General Sani Abacha (former Military head
of state and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly
on 8th of June 1998. I will want you to read more of me on www.vanguardngr.com/articles/2002/columns/c128022003.html

If you can assist me receive the sum of US$100M of our family money kept
with some security companies in vaults in overseas, get back to me immediately
to enable us proceed at once.
The money was kept in a consignment with a Security Company overseas and
I have all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault
for safekeeping. This money has been defaced for Security reasons and also
to avoid it been spent by unauthorized persons. We have been deliberating
on how to invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came
to a conclusion to invest it in the buying of estates and part of it will
be used for non-speculative investments in your country. I am therefore
soliciting your help to collect the consignment of money on my instruction
for the release to you and after then transferred into your account. I will
give you all the necessary documentations to facilitate your collection
of the consignment of money personally in overseas.
The government has no or will never have knowledge of this money, so there
is no need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee your safety. Once
I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will immediately
send to you the relevant documents that you will provide to the security
company in overseas to enable you take possession of the consignments of
money. This will include certificate of deposit and letter of authorization.
Meanwhile all I need from you is as follows:
1. Confirmation of your ability to handle this.
2. Your word that you will keep this business as confidential as possible
at all times.
3. Your Name, address and telephone numbers for easy communication
I will compensate you sincerely for your candid effort in this regard with
20% of the total amount of $100 Million US Dollars, while 5% has been set
aside for minor expenses such as telephone and other bills that you might
incur. The remaining 75% will be invested meaningfully for me and my family
future.
I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation.
Best wishes,
Mohammed Abacha.
