Subject: IN GOOD FAITH
Dear Friend ,
This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact
address.Please I got your name and address through a commercial publication
via Internet courtesy of S.A.I.E. during my desperate search for someone
that could honestly and confidentially assist me by serving as my
trustee.
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha
former Nigerian Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a
result of Cardiac Arrest. Since after my husband's death my family is
under restriction of movement and that not withstanding, we are being
molested, policed and our Bank Account both here and abroad are being
frozen by the Nigerian Civilian Government.
Furthermore, my elder son is in detention by the Nigerian Government
for more interrogation about my husband's assists and some vital
documents. Following the recent discovery of my husband's Bank Account
by the Nigerian Government with Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of
US$700Million and DM450Milllion was logged. I therefore decided to
contact you in confidence that I was able to move out the sum of
US$25Million Dollars, which was secretly lodged in a trunk box and
deposited with a Security Company as materials of Inheritance.
I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously for
your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I
believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the
restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the
Nigerian Government.
You we be contacted by my family Attorney Ahmed Tomkinson and my
lawyer shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside
Nigerian, in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of
this transaction.
However, arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of
the country in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company,
as soon as you indicate your interest, forward to my lawyer your
Telephone
Number, Fax Number and your Postal Address so that he can send to you
the Certificate of Deposit and other necessary documents, so that you
can help to claim the luggage.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum while
70% is to be held on trust by you until we decide on a suitable
business investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by
the Nigerian Government.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and
sincerity.
Best
Regards,
Hajia Mariam abacha(Mrs.)
