Subject: HELLO
Dear Friend,
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former head of
state of Nigeria in june (1998), I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion,
frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration. I have been subjected to
physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country.
My son is still under detention arraigned before the federal high court of Nigeria for an
offence he did not commit. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with
anybody within the country. You must have heard over the media reports and the internet
on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different
security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets 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 US$700 Million dollars.
And they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your contacts through my
personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium.I will
give you more information as to this regard as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence
in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I
cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you
will not betray my confidence in you. I have deposited the sum of $15million dollars with a
security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now until we open communication. I shall
be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping.
This arrangement is known to you and my son Mustapha alone, so my son will deal directly
with you as security is up my whole being. I am seriously considering to settle down
abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so
that I can start all over again if only you wish, but if it is impossible, just help me in
diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you (30%) of this fund.
Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I will require your telephone and fax
numbers so that we can commence communication immediately and I will give you a more
detailed picture of things.
In case you don't accept please do not reveal me out to the security as I am giving you this
information in total trust and confidence. I will greatly appreciate if you accept my
proposal in good faith. Please expedite action.
NB: Kindly send futher correspondence to mail: mariamfami@netscape.net
yours faithfully,
Hajia Mariam Abacha
