Dear Friend,

State,Gen.San Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998 while still on duty.
I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to
me. I currently have within my reach the sum of US$15M cash which I intend
to utilise forinvestment purposes in your country.The money is part of a
payback from a contract
dealbetween my husband and a Chinese Firm on our country's multi-billion
Dollars Railway Line Project. The Chinese partners returned my husband;s
share,US$15Million,after hi death. Now the civilian Government in Nigeria
has intensified their probe on my husband;s financial resources which has
led to the closure of all our accounts both and internationally,revoking
of all our business licences. There is one account which I and my late husband
opened
secretly with Central Bank of Nigeria, Abuja with one of my uncle's name.
And the total sum of $15million was deposited in the account. Nobody know
about this money except I and my husband and my uncle. Since the deat of
my husband the civilian government in power now in Nigeria led by Obasanjo
the President haved frozen all our accounts but they did not seen this account
because it is not open by our name. Sir,I want you to help me so that we
can
move this money out from Nigeria now. All arrangements have been put in place
to facilitate all approvals of all necessary documents by the Federal Minstry
of Finance for the release of the fund to your account, if you accept orindicate
interest in this proposal. You are entitle to 30% of the total sum of $15million
while 65% is for I and my family, while 5% has been mapped out for any local
or international expenses if needed be during the transfer of this fund.Our
lawyer will contact you as soon as you indicate interest.Try and help me
sir/madam. This proposal is 100% risk free, as soon as this enters into your
account I want you to help and advice me on what business to invest the money
in your country, and also I want you to help me to buy a living house for
my son because he wants to leave Nigeria.I cannot make use of this money
within Africa here, hence, I seek your help.Therefore
include your phonenumbers.Your urgent response is needed. And I must
remind you of the confidentiality of this matter whatever your decision,
while i wait for your response.
