Subject: Hi

Dear friend,

I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former
Nigerian military head of state who died mysteriously as a result of cardiac
arrest. Since after my husband's death my family is under restriction of
movement and that not withstanding, we are being molested by police and
our bank account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigerian civilian
government.
Furthermore, my elder son is in detention by the Nigerian government for
more interrogation about my husband's assets and some vital documents. Following
the recent discovery of my husband's bank account by the Nigerian government
with Swiss bank in which the huge sum of US$700Million and DM450Milllion
was logged.
I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that I was able to move
out the sum of US$25 million United States dollars, which was secretly logged
in a trunk box and deposited with a Security Company as materials of inheritance.
In fact, I personally appeal to you seriously and religiously for your urgent
assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it will
be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement
imposed on the members of my family by the Nigerian government.
You can also contact me through my family attorney Barrister Lucky Tolu
(SAN) on his private e-mail address: (brr_lucky@web-mail.com.ar) and my
lawyer shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigerian,
in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of this transaction.
However, arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the
country in a secret vault through a Diplomatic Security Company, as soon
as you indicate your interest, forward to my lawyer your telephone/fax number
and your postal address so that he can send to you the certificate of deposit
and other necessary documents, so that you can help to claim the luggage.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum, 10% for
any expenses incurs by both parties while 60% is to be held on trust by
you until we decide on a suitable business investment in your country subsequent
to our free movement by the Nigerian Government.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
Best Regards,
Hajia Mariam Abacha(Mrs.)
