Subject: Private / Help
Mrs. Maryam Abacha,
No 4 Abacha Court Kano City
Kano State
Nigeria
Attn:Sir,
It is with heartful of hope that I write to seek your help in the context
below. I am Mrs. Maryam Abacha the wife of the former Nigeria Head of State,
Late General Sani Abacha, whose sudden death occurred on 8th of June, 1998.Having
gotten your particulars from the family catalogue, I have no doubt about
your capacity and good will to assist me in receiving into your custody
(for safety) the sum of US$ 48 Million willed and deposited in my favour
by my late husband.This money is currently kept in a Trust Deposit Account
as a diplomatic baggage, with Resort Securities and Trust Company in london
. As it is legally required,the asset of my late husband is under the authority
of our family lawyer named Barrister Usman Bello of Bello and Associates
LAGOS NIGERIA. E-mail:barristerusmanb@yahoo.com & usman_bello810@yahoo.com
Unfortunately, the new Democratic Government has on assumption of office
set up a Panel of Enquires to probe the financial activities of my late
husband (Former Head of State) with a decision to freeze all his assets.
The investigation teams have submitted their reports presently some cash
and assets have been frozen and seized.(see ATTENSION HERE PLEASE.
it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money within.
Let me refer you to the front page of This Day Newspapers of 10th March
2001. You can check
it through their website. (www.thisdayonline.com <read.link.php?messageid=124090&url=www.thisdayonline.com>)

THE GOVERNMENT SEIZE AND COLLECT ALL MY LATE HUSBAND WEALTHS.)
Fortunately, with our family lawyer's assistance we secretly protected the
Personal Will of my husband from the notice of the investigators and have
strictly advised that the willed money be urgently moved into an overseas
account of a Trusted foreigner without delay for security reasons. The government
had long time ago placed foreign Travel Embargo on all our family members
and seized our international passports and all our local and international
business outfits. The situation has been so terrible that we are virtually
living on the assistance of well wishers.
In view of this plight therefore, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind
enough to respond to this call to save my children and me from a hopeless
future by assisting me in receiving this money into your overseas account
for safe keeping until our International Passports are released to us after
the investigation is concluded.
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid effort in this regard
with 25% of the fund when finally received in you bank account, 5% set aside
for expenses incurred. Our Attorney has perfected arrangement with the Financial
Security Company to effect complete dislodgment of this money within a week
of the receipt of your response.
They have equally guaranteed 100% smooth transfer.
Please reply through my E-mail address first for security reason. Please
include your personal telephone and Fax numbers in your reply of this letter.Please
all contacts must be made through our lawyerBarrister Usman Bello.
I look forward to your quick response,
may Almighty Allah bless you.
Yours faithfully,
MRS. MARYAM ABACHA.
