Dear sir/madam
Compliments of the season.
I am MR MARTIN GEORGE a personal lawyer to ALHAJI IBRAHIM ABACHA, the son
of the late General Sanni Abacha Nigerian's
former Military Head of State who died on
the 8th of June, 1998 of Cardiac Arrest. Since the death of
his Father both the immediate, past and incumbent Government
of my Country, Nigeria, have been persecuting his family.
The present Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo have set
up investigation panel to confisticate all the belongings
of his late father.
The Government have directed all the Banks in my Country to
freeze the accounts
belonging to the family and our numerous Business concerns
of his Mother and Uncles have also been closed down and his
immediate elder brother has been arrested by the Nigerian
Government, while all his foreign Bank Accounts have been
freezed aided by a publication in the FINANCIAL TIMES OF
LONDON OF FRIDAY 23RD JULY, 1999, though his Father is not
the only past Official accused of having money in foreign
Banks.
I am therefore using this medium to solicit for your
assistance. Your Business profile and name were given to me
in confidence by the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (Foreign Trade Division). The information
regarding the viability of your Business concern gingered
me into soliciting for your help.
Now, since the present Government of my Country is
hell-bent on prosecuting, disgracing the good name and
image of the entire family and possibly doing more damages
to his financial base, I am therefore desirous of handling
over the remains of his Father's Money,US$36 Million DOLLARS
(Thirty-six Million United States Dollars Only) which is
presently SAFELY and SECRETLY kept in CODED CASH in a
Security Company outside the Country to evade confiscation by the
Nigerian Government or its Agents.
Please, if you are interested in helping this family move
this money into your Private or Company Account, kindly
inform me through my E-mail addresses . After the
movement of this huge sum of money out of its secret place
into your Country, I plan to give you 30% of the total sum
and 10% would be set aside to take care of all incidental
expenses . Then, the rest 60% shall be used to settle
the entire family who have reached advanced stage to
emigrate abroad for political asylum. For your information,
my dear grief stricken mother has the blessing of this
Business transaction. It is pertinent to state here that
this transaction is entirely based on trust and I would
also kindly appeal that you keep this proposed transaction
with TOP SECRET.
If you are interested in this proposal, please for
confidential reasons, you must respond only to my private
email address: martingeorge@uymail.com for more
clarifications.
If however you are not interested, still let me know to
enable me search for someone else to carry out this business
with. I anticipate a timely response from you.
Thanks.
BEST REGARDS
BARRISTER MARTIN GEORGE
