BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
Dear sir/madam,
RE: US$50 MILLION / INVESTMENT ADVICE
I am the wife to Ex-Nigerian(president)Head of State Late Gen. Sanni
Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998. Sometime in 1998 before his death,
he entrusted to me the sum of US$50 (Fifty Million United States Dollars)
which
we deposited with an organizaion which I will disclose to you later .This
money
was meant for the campaign of his self-succession bid. Unfortunately he
died beforeactualization of his aspiration.

This amount of $50M entrusted to me by my late husband due to the trust
and confidence he had on for me as his wife.In agreement with the Abachas
family, I write to solicit your assistance to transfer this sum of $50M
to you for subsequent disbursement between you and us. We are soliciting
for your assistance because the present Nigerian Government are freezing
any bank
account traceable to the Late Ex-Head of State's family and relatives.For
your assistance,we have agreed to compensate you with 30% of the total sum
while
70% is for us.The major part of our share of 70% shall be used for investment
overseas.

Note that this transaction is 100% risk free as we have mapped out
strategies for a successful transaction with the organization, which I will
disclose to you later.Please Endeavor to keep this transaction absolutely
secret. This transaction is expected to be concluded within 10 working days
If you are interested.I would want you to contact me immediately through
my
private and most confidential email address(abachafamily501@yahoo.co.uk
)this is my confidential email address.so i will need your name,tel,fax
,first three pages of international pasport and address so that i can know
whom
am dealing with.

Thank you for your anticipated kind understanding and urgent positive
response.
Best Regards,
