Subject: PARTNERSHIP/INVESTMENT
From: Maryam Abacha
Dear friend,
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former
head of state of Nigeria in june 8,1998. I have been thrown into a state
of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian
administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture
by the security agents in the country. My son was released from detention
few months ago for an offence he did not commit. As a widow that is so traumatized,I
have lost confidence with anybody within the country.
You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery
of various huge sums of money deposited by my late husband in different
Trust/security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets
and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail.
In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune
of $15B. Billion US dollars.And they are not relenting to make me poor for
life.
I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation
decided to reach you through this medium.I will give you more information
as to this regard as soon as you reply.I repose great confidence in you
hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day
affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to
contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.
The only money left for my family to survive with is the sum of US$45M (Fourty-Five
Million U.S Dollars) contained in one trunk boxe which I instructed my half
brother to take out of the country immediately my husband died.The money
was packaged in a consignment in order to beat security operatives. My half
brother was able to deposit the trunk boxes overseas with a Trust / Security
Company as photographic films before his death.
The name of the Trust/security company is witheld for now until we open
communication.I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your
account for safe keeping.This arrangement is known to you and my son Abba
alone, so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole
being.I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere
like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start
all over again if only you wish, but if it is impossible,just help me in
diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 30% of this
fund.
Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I will give you a
more detailed picture of things as soon as you indicate your interest. In
case you don't accept please do not let me out to the security as I am giving
you this information in total trust and confidence .I will greatly appreciate
if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action.
Sincerely Yours,
Maryam Abacha.
