Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the season!
I am aminu abacha, the Second son of the late General Sanni Abacha,
Nigeria's former Military Head of State who died on the 8th of June, 1998 of
Cardiac Arrest. Since the death of my Father both the immediate, past and
incumbent Government of my Country, Nigeria, have been persecuting my
family.The present Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo have set up
investigation panel to confisticate all the belongings of my late father.
The Government have directed all the Banks in my Country to freeze the
accounts belonging to my family and our numerous Business concerns of my
Mother and Uncles have also been closed down and my immediate elder brother
has been arrested by the Nigerian Government, while all our foreign Bank
Accounts have been freezed aided by a publication in the FINANCIAL TIMES OF
LONDON OF FRIDAY 23RD JULY, 1999, though my Father is not the only past
Official accused of having money in foreign Banks.
I am therefore using this medium to solicit for your assistance. Your
Business profile and name were given to me in confidence by the Nigerian
Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Foreign Trade Division). The information
regarding the viability of your Business concern gingered me into soliciting
for your help.
Now, since the present Government of my Country is hell-bent on prosecuting,
disgracing the good name and image of my entire family and possibly doing
more damages to our financial base, I am therefore desirous of handling over
the remains of my Father's Money,US$25 Million (Thirty-six Million United
States Dollars Only) which is presently SAFELY and SECRETLY kept in CODED
CASH in a Security Company outside my Country to evade confiscation by the
Nigerian Government or its Agents.
Please, if you are interested in helping my family move this money into your
Private or Company Account, kindly inform me through my E-mail addresses
above. After the movement of this huge sum of money out of its secret place
into your Country, I plan to give you 35% of the total sum and 15% would be
set aside to take care of all incidental expenses, while 20% will be plunged
into your Business concern as shares or for high profile investment purposes
in your Country. Then, the rest 30% shall be used to settle my entire family
who have reached advanced stage to emigrate abroad for political asylum. For
your information, my dear grief stricken mother has the blessing of this
Business transaction. It is pertinent to state here that this transaction is
entirely based on trust and I would also kindly appeal that you keep this
proposed transaction with TOP SECRET.
If you are interested in this proposal, please for confidentialreasons,you
must respond only to my private email alhajiaminu_abacha @yahoo.comfor more
clarifications. If however you are not interested, still let me know to
enable me search for someone else to carry out this business with. I
anticipate a timely response from you.
Thanks.
Allah's blessings.
With best regards,
aminu_abacha
