Dear,
I am (Hajia) Mariam Abacha, wife of the late General Sani Abacha, ex-military
head of state of Nigeria who died on 8th of june 1998 of heart attack.
I am contacting you because of my need to deal with persons whom my family
and I have had no previous personal relationship.
Since the death of my husband, my family has been subjected to all sorts
of harassment and intimidatios with lots of negative reports emanating from
the government and the press about my husband.The present government has
also ensured that all our Bank accounts are frozen and all assets siezed.
It is in view of this, that I seek your co-operation and assistance in the
transfer of the sum of US$35(Thirty-Five Million United States Dollars)
being the very last of my family's fund in my possession and control.
The federal Government siezed all our properties and froze all our account
locally and Internationally after the dealth of my husband, but my husband
carefully packaged and deposited with a Diplomatic Courier and Financial
Services Company outside Nigeria. This money was to be transfered into
His account in Europe on His instructions, but as destiny would have it
he died an untimely death.
We therefore need your urgent assistance to clear this money from the security
company and move it to your country for investment into a very viable business.
If you are willing to assist me in clearing and investing this money on
our behalf, please, contact me, so that I will give you more details on
how to carry on to enable you claim this fund. Indicate your interest and
endaevour to supply me with your phone and fax numbers for easier communication.
I will contact you and give you the details and negotiate your reward with
you which I can assure you will be very substantial.
You see I would want us to use this mail as our point of contact due to
security reason .Please ensure to keep this proposal very confidential for
obvious reasons and if you have any questions or anything that you will
like to know, please feel free to ask for answers.
I await your immediate response.
Regards,
Mariam Abacha. E-mail : mariam_ab005@yahoo.com
