Dear Sir / Madam,
I write to introduce my self to your good person. I am Dr Mrs Marian Sani Abacha, wife of the late Nigerian Head of state, General Sani Abacha. Who died on 8th of june, 1998 while still in active service for our country. I am contacting you because you have been recommended by a confidant and sincerely hope that you will be of great assistance. Currently I have in my possession, the sum of 36.2million USD(Thirty six million,two hundred thousand) which I intend to use for investment purposes outside Nigeria and hopefully in your country. This money I received from one of the various payback contract deals I arranged during my late husbands regime, this one in particular, from the Russian firm that handled our country's multibillion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant construction. As you might be aware, the present civilian government has intensified their probe into my late husbands financial resources, which have lead to freezing of all our accounts and grounding of most of our bu!
sinesses
and the arrest of my son who is currently facing trial. In view of this, I withdrew this money from one of our finance houses before it was shut and got some safely deposited to a security company in London with the help of some officials that are still friendly to the family.
As you might be aware too there has been great surveillance on my movement which has been greatly restricted as currently, I am not allowed to leave the country, hence this proposal that you front for me and i will give direction for this money to be released to you in person in London. At this point, I have to make it clear that this transaction will be absolutely risk free as i have tidied up all loose ends.I Will give you details when i get a response from you.
At the end of this transaction, you will get 25% of this sum while 70% will be for me. 5% of this sum will be set aside for any expenses that might be incurred by either party during the transaction, e.g. flight tickets,hotel bills etc. Please do make sure to keep all receipts intact. I will also be obliged if you can furnish me with possible options where i could invest my part of the money in your country for my consideration. For the purposes of this transaction, I have detailed my Lawyer, Ahmed Nosiru who is resident in London to act on my behalf because I can not reach you or be reached directly because of security reasons. Please should you decline this offer, I beg you to keep this a secret as my reputation and everything will be on the line. Also do not forget to include your telephone No and fax line for a more easy and direct reach.
All correspondence must be through my lawyer via the following means; Fax
+448701392473 or Email: mariansaniabacha@jmail.co.za Attentioned to my attorney (ahmed nosiru). Please do not forget to include your direct tel/fax line for easy reach. I hope I can trust you with my family's last financial hope.
Best Regards
Dr. Mrs. Marian Sani Abacha.
