Subject: GREETINGS
FROM: DR. MRS MARIAM ABACHA
DEAR Sir/Madam,
I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife of the Late Nigerian Head of State,Gereral Sani Abacha who died
on 8th of June 1998 while still on service.I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great assistance to each other like wise developing acordial business relationship.
I currently have the sum of thirty Million United States Dollars (US$30,000,000) cash, which I
intend to use for investment purposes specifically in your country. This money came as a payback contract deal between my late husband and Russian firm on our countrys Multi-Billion Dollar Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian partner returned my husbands share of US$30,000,000.00 USD after the death of my husband and lodged it with a finance company in Europe of which
I am the Beneficiary. Right now the new civilian government have intensified their probe on my husbands financial resources and they revoked our licenses that allows us to own a financial and Oil Company. I have since declared myself and my family Bankruptcy. No record ever existed concerning the money neither the money tranceable by the Government because there is
no documentation showing that we received the money from the Russians. Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude towards my family,it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money within, and outside especially in Europe as the European government has been assisting our government in the tracing of any of our bank accounts
oversea, hence my movement is restricted by the government now.
Thus I seek assistance to transfer this money out of this account to a non traceable and safe
account designation through our family representative BARRISTER FESTUS KAYEMU, (SAN) To enable us
discuss in details about this transaction please contact him on e-mail as indicated above.
WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO
I will transfer the ownership of the money and issue you a power of attorney through my Lawyer. With these document you will present to the bank for claiming the money as my proxy from the finance company in Europe. The entire operation is risk free since it is only you and me and my Lawyer that knows the details of the money. After you must have transfer the money to your
country where it is save my Lawyer will then meet you in your country to use my share of the money for investment. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, I propose a commission of 30% (Thirty Persent) of the total sum to you for the expected services and assistance. Your urgent response is highly needed so as to stop futher contact.
All correspondence must be by e-mail I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential whatever your decision while I await your prompt response.
Regards,
DR. (MRS.) MARIAM ABACHA
