From: "mariam abacha" <marmariam6@avispanet.com>
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 08:06:44 -0600
Subject: From Mariam.

Dear Sir,

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL,PLS.

I am Mrs.Mariam Abacha,widow to the former Military Head of State of
Federal Republic of Nigeria,General Sani Abacha who died suddenly as a
result of Cardiac Arrest on 8th June,1998.

Upon his tragic and unexpected death,the new civillian government of
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has insisted in probing my family's financial
resources and has gazetted all our properties also.It is only this $72M
USD that he deposited with a security company vault in Europe that they
cannot trace because the funds were deposited as diplomatic immunities.


Therefore,the family is in urgent need of a very competent and investor
participant that we can enthrust with the Certificate of Deposit and
(PIN) Personal Identification Number code he help us remove the funds
from the security company in Europe.

If this proposal is acceptable to you,after getting the money out from
the security company to your country into your nominated bank account,my
family have agreed to offer you 30% for your kind assistance and 70%
will be for my family.

In addition,you will help us in banking our share as well as assisting
in investing it wisely in a viable business but with our full consent
and approval as a front for us untill the situation becomes more
favourable for us to now meet and discuss the way forward,most
especially now that my elder son and I are under pressure from the
government,despite the fact that my family had already returned the sum
of $33B USD from my late husband's account in U.S.A,Europe,and other
countries.

My Eldest son,Mohammed is fully detailed of this before I contacted
you.Speak to him on my behalf for more information/modalities on:
+234-803 5791728 or rather through my most private mail box:
marmariam1@virgilio.it

Note that you need not to travel to Europe to make this claim unless you
so will.An arrangement will be made perfected with the Security
Commission to dispatch the trunk at your convenience with the assistance
of a certified diplomat attached with the commission.

Please let me hear from you at earliest.

With due respect,

Mrs.Mariam Abacha.
