From Mrs.Mariam.S.Abacha,
Wife To The Former Nigeria
Military president, General
Sanni Abacha.
Dear friend,
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, (the wife of former Nigeria 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 term of trade and possibility of moving
some family funds, to your possession.
Since the death of my husband, our family and closed 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
has been frozen in a very wicked manner, since the government
discovered the accounts.You may wish to know that right now our
US645Million lodged with Swiss bank in Zurich and Geneva has been frozen
since October 1999. Another huge amount of money
with a bank in Luxembourg was blocked within April/may 2000.
We also lost another US100Million lodged with a bank in the
small country of Liechtenstein. Our account with a Brazilian bank
was frozen in 1999, another of our joint accounts in a Germany
base 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 bank. For partnership purpose,
we decided to contact you in confidence to inform you that we
have in our possession the certificate of the deposit made by my late husband,
which were funds that were secretly moved
out of the country. These funds involve a total cash sum of
US$48,000,000.00(Fourty Eight million united-state dollars only).
which were hidden, and packaged in a metal box and the box are
presently being kept with a security deposit house in DUBAI
(United Arab Emirates) as family valuables and the certificate of deposit
of the valuables is in our possession.
We are appealing for urgent assistance to move the fund to
to your country/private or company bank account or any country
where you believe the fund will be safe. As soon as the fund
claimed,we will like to know how to arrange where Dr. Ben Ezeh
will meet with you for the conclusion of the transaction.
Upon receipt of your response we will tell you how to recieve
the fund and we shall arrange for a face-to-face meeting outside
Nigeria with my confidential secretary/family business
consultant (DR.Ben Ezeh) for a successful completion of the
transaction. We have agreed to offer you 25% of the
($48,000,000.00 USD} Fourty Eight million dollars for your
immense assistance to us while you will hold 75% on TRUST for
us as we would like to do good business investment in your
Country and also invest in your company's lines 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 (Mohammed) your very self and
DR.Ben Ezeh. I look forward to your earliest reply through
my email: mariammedabacha2@yahoo.co.uk, for security
reasons.
May God bless you as you help us at this difficult time.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs.Mariam.S.Abacha
