Subject: FROM MARIAM
Attention,
PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP AND BUSINESS INVESTMENT ADVICE.
It gives me great pleasure to contact you, and I do hope this letter
will not come to you as a surprise. I am Mrs. Mariam.S.Abacha, (Wife
of the former Nigerian Military President/Head of State) who died
mysteriously as a result of heart attack in the year 1998.
I decided to contact you so that we can arrange with you for
favorable terms of trade and the possibility of moving some family
funds, to your possession.
Since the death of my husband, our family and close friends have not
been allowed to move freely by the present civilian Government in
Nigeria, because of the enemity that existed between the late Gen.
Abacha and the present civilian President/Head of State of Nigeria.
Consequently our joint bank accounts here in Nigeria and abroad have
been frozen in a very wicked manner, since the Government discovered
the accounts. You may wish to know that right now our US$645Million
lodged with Swiss in Zurich and Geneva has been frozen since October
1999. Another of our US$600Million with a bank in Luxembourg was
blocked within April/May 2000. We also lost another US$100Million
lodged with a bank in the small country of Liechtenstein.
Our account with over US$700Million in a Brazilian bank was frozen in
1999, another of our joint accounts with DM450Million in a Germany
based bank account were all frozen in 1999.
This has made our family to have lost over US$2Billion to the
Government. All these loses was mainly due to the fact that we
mistakenly operated these account with Abacha's family names and with
our personal business names which made it possible for them to locate
our funds easily in those banks. For partnership purpose, we decided
to contact you in confidence to inform you that we have in our
possession the certificates of the deposits made by my late husband,
which were funds that were secretly moved out of the country. You can
check this out for yourself:www.thisdayonline.com , march 1,2001 and
www.newswatchngr.com ,may 8/15,2000
These funds involve a total cash sum of US$40M Forty Million
United-States Dollars only). Which were hidden, and packaged in a
metallic box and is presently being kept with a Security Deposit
House in Europe as Family Treasure and the certificate of Deposit of
the Treasures is in our possession and another metal box is in Accra
Ghana containing a total sum of US$18M (Eighteen Million UnitedStates
Dollars).
We are appealing for urgent assistance to move the fund to your
country/private or company bank account or any country where you
believe the fund will be safe. Meanwhile you can decide on which of
the funds you will like to collect first so that we can know how to
arrange where Barrister Williams Gambo(our family lawyer/confidant)
will meet with you for the conclusion of the transaction.
You can contact me and my son (Mallam Sulayman
Abacha) through this e-mail address: mrs_mabacha05@yahoo.it
upon receipt of your response we shall arrange for a face-to-face meeting
outside Nigeria
with my confidential secretary/family business consultant
(Barr.Williams Gambo) for a successful completion of the transaction.
We have agreed to offer you 25% of the US$64M while you will hold 75%
on TRUST for us as we would like to do a good business investment in
your country and also invest in your company's line of
product/business.
Please you are required to treat this letter as very confidential as
no other person knows about this money except me, my son (Sulayman),
your very self and Barr.Williams Gambo
Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible and May God
bless you as you help us at this difficult time.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr.Mrs. Mariam Abacha.
