BUSINESS TRANSACTION. MY CLIENT IS BY NAME MRS. MARYAM ABACHA AND SHE IS THE WIFE OF A LATE MILITARY HEAD OF STATE IN MY COUNTRY. HER HUSBAND LATE GENERAL SANNI ABACHA MADE A LOT OF MONEY THROUGH OIL PROCEEDS DURING HIS TENURE IN OFFICE. INFACT, IT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER HIS DEATH THAT HE WAS WORTH WELL OVER $4.5 BILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS AND SOME OF THIS MONEY WAS RETRIEVED AFTER HE DIED WHILE SOME WAS RECOVERED FROM OFFICIALS THAT SERVED UNDER HIM DURING HIS REIGN AS PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.
THE TRUTH OF THIS CASE IS THAT MY CLIENT DESPITE THE PROBLEM SHE IS GOING THROUGH NOW, SHE STILL HAS A LOT OF MONEY IN HER POSSESSION. WHICH SHE INTENDS TO INVEST OUTSIDEOUR COUNTRY. WHAT MY CLIENT NEEDS FROM YOU NOW IS A RELIABLE ACCOUNT WHERE SHE CAN TRANSFER SOME MONEY BUT MIND YOU, ALL THE MONEY IN HER POSSESSION CAN NOT LEAVE AT ONCE BECAUSE SHE NEEDS TO BUILD CONFIDENCEAND TRUST IN SOMEONE WHO WOULD NOT EXPOSE HER PLAN TOREMIT AND POSSIBLY INVEST IN YOUR COMPANY. SO SHE HASAGREED THAT I SHOULD MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR THETRANSFER OF $15 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ANDYOU ARE FREE TO NEGOTIATE YOUR MODE
OF COMPENSATIONEVEN IF SHE INTENDS TO INVEST THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
PLEASE, DO NOT HESITATE TO INDICATE YOUR VIEW OF THIS REQUEST BY CONTACTING ME IMMEDIATELY YOU RECEIVE THIS MAIL, SO THAT THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE FOR THE MONEY TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. DUE TO THE PRESENT SITUATION OF MY CLIENT, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF THIS REQUEST CAN BE KEPT A SECRET. I WOULD ALSO LIKE
TO NOTE THAT THERE IS NO RISK IN VOLVED. I HOPE MY CLIENTWOULD BE HAPPY INVESTING WITH YOU.
