Compliment of the season.
It is my pleasure to contact you to help me out of this terrible and ugly
situation, l know that the content of this letter might be a suprise to
you, but even though we hardly know each other I believe that you can help
me.
I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the wife to the late Head of State, of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1993 -1998 - General Sani Abacha. My late
husband made a lot of money as the Head of state of Nigeria for 5 years.
He has different accounts in many banks of the world. He has not left any
stone unturned in accruing riches for his family.
The present democratic government of Nigeria led by President (Gen. (Rtd))
Olusegun Obasanjo has not found favour with my family since their inception.
This may be as a result of his hatred for my late husband who kept him in
jail for over two years for a coup attempt, before the death of my father.
He was released immediately my husband died and he was later made the present
president. He has confiscated and frozen all my family account in Nigeria
and some other American, Europe and Asian continents, It has been in both
the local and international news.
Presently, my son mohammed Abacha has been languishing in different prison
custody in Nigeria for a case against his father which he knows nothing
about, but l thank the Almighty Allah for his release. Now, my purpose of
all these introduction and proposal is just seeking for your candid assistance
in saving this sum 0f $38,000,000.00 (THIRTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS ONLY)
which my late husband had hidden from the Nigerian government during his
regime, and which is presently somewhere in a financial and security company
outside the entire Nigeria and West African region.
This is a huge sum of money, I cannot trust much on most saboteur friends
of my family in Nigeria who could not be trusted. I got your contact through
our trade mission . I deemed it necessary to contact you for this trustworthy
transaction. All what I needed is a sincere, honest, trustworthy and God-fearing
individuals whom my mind will absolve to help me in this deal. If you have
feelings about my situation, don't hesitate to stand for me. If my proposal
is sudden to you, all I need now is for you to stand as the beneficiary
of this money to claim it and save for me.
There is no difficulty, I will send your name as the recipient as well as
the beneficiary of the money.On your identification and confirmation from
me, the fund will be handed to you. All l need is your confirmention of
willingness and l will give you the full details. You will be compensated
with 25% of the total fund for all your efforts in this transaction, provided
this fund is safe for me in your account in your country.
Please this is a very serious matter, it is a save my soul request to you
and I will be delighted too much to receive a positive response from you
in order to move into action. I will give you details on request from you.
Finally, if you are not interested on this matter, kindly destroy this
proposal and maintain the adequate secret for the security of my fund in
the security vaults.
