BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am Dr. (Mrs.) Maryam Abacha, the wife of the late Nigerian Head of states,General
Sani Abacha who died On the 8th June 1998 of heart problems whileon active
Duty as the head of State and Commander in chief of the armed forces Federal
Republic of Nigeria. I am contacting you because of my present need
to engage in a mutually beneficial business partnership with person whom
I have not had dealings before and who do not have any political indignation
in my country, Nigeria.
Since the death of my husband in 1998, the Nigerian Government has subjected
my family to all sorts of harassment, intimidation and persecution. This
is because the people in the government now are people who believe that
my husband victimized them while he was in power. They have frozen numerous
bank accounts and seized monies and assets running into hundreds of millions
of dollars belonging to my family under the excuse that my late husband
stole the money. It is in view of this that I seek the assistance of honest,God
fearing people like you to help me.
Presently I have with me the sum of US$35 million, which I wish to transfer
abroad as discreetly and as expeditiously as possible and I wish with your
help to apply this fund towards investment purposes in Your country. This
money was my husband's share in a debt buy back contract deal between my
husband and a Russian company in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta
Steel project. The Russian company Returned my husband's share of US$35
million after his death and i lodged it with a security company in Europe
where it will be safe and secured.
With the intensification of the Nigeria Government probe into my family's
finances and the consequent detention of my son Mohemmed on trumped up charges,
I acted fast to deposit this money in a security company abroad, waiting
to have an honest person that will assist me in withdrawing and investing
the money in his or her country.
Now I wish to solicit for your assistance to transfer this money out of
the security company and into your account to be applied towards investment
in your country. For your assistance I propose to give you a commission
of 20% of the total sum involved, which you shall deduct immediately the
money is
cleared the consignment that contains the funds from the security company
in Europe, as i have mapped out 5% to cover ever miscellenous expenses you
may incurre at the course of clearing the consignment.
Please, I implore you to exercise the utmost discretion in keeping this
matter very confidential, whatever your decision will be. Contact me immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Mrs. Maryam. Abacha.
