Subject: Dear Friend,
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. In fact the
total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $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 $15 million dollars with
a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for
safekeeping. 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 let 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.
yours faithfully,
Hajia Mariam Abacha
