Subject: Please do not expose me to my government again.
Dear Friend,In recent times over the radio in AMERICA or even in ASIA you must have heard about my family regarding huge sums of money stacked in foreign banks in different names for business. I believe, is a legacy we came to meet, when my late Husband became the head of state. It does not matter whether you are small or big but your ability to help me sort out things is mostly needed now. I do not justify myself but it has happened, so i need you to help me and my family survive in life.Thus it is with hope that I write to seek your help in the context below.I am Hajia Mariam Abacha, wife of Nigeria's former head of state; Late General Sani Abacha, whose sudden death occurred on the 8th of June 1998. Since my husband died, I have beenthrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration.The security agents in the country have subjected me to physical and psychological torture. My son (Mohammed Abacha) was detentain by
the federal high court of Nigeria for an offence he did not commit. As a widow that has been traumatized, I am hopeless with my present faith. You must have heard over the media reports on the recovery of various sums of money deposited by my late husband with various security firms. Some companies willingly gave up their secret and disclosed our money confidently lodged there, or many, outright blackmail.Infact the total sum discovered by the government so far is in the tune of $600 to $700 Million USD and they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I came in contact with your name and address through my personal research and would want to have faith and confidence in you as I view you to be of responsible personality. I have no doubt about your capacity and good will to assist me in receiving this into your custody (for safety) the sum of $50.5Million USD {WILLED} and deposited safely in my favour by my late husband as if he know"s what will happen when he die. This
money is currently kept in Safe Deposit Box (SDB) at a security firm oversea. As it is legally required, the administration of my late husband's property is under the authority of the family Lawyer(Attorney)Barrister Musa Ribadu (SAN).The investigative teams set up by our government have submitted their report after freezing almost all our account.Fortunately, our family lawyer had secretly protected the personal {WILLED} of my late husband from the notice of the investigators and have strictly advised that the $50.5m USD shull be urgently moved to an overseas account of any trust worthy but ANNONYMOUS foreign family friend without delay, for security reasons.All our traveling papers have been seized by the government there by preventing us from traveling and all the local and international outfit of our business empire seized.This sum of money is our only hope to stay alive.I have therefore agreed to compensate your good self guirding with 30% of the total deposit as soon a!
s
you recieve the deposit box from the security firm and its contents safely lodged in your account. They have equally guaranteed 100% risk-free and smooth transfer.If you are interested in assisting me, please reach me immediately and send to me your confidential telephone and fax number(s) so that my lawyer or my son Mohammedcan will reach you as soon as possible. For obvious security reasons, it is imperative that you keep all our communication very secret. Do not mention my family`s name or disclose the transaction to anybody. If you are not interested in assisting me, please still get in touch so that I can make alternative arrangement as time is of theessence.Please do not expose me to my government again. Hope to hear from you soonest.Thank YouHajia Mariam Abacha
