Subject: GOOD DAY
FROM: WALE ABACHA, LAGOS, NIGERIA.
Dear Sir,
I am contacting you on behalf of my family, and l strongly solicite your
assistance in the name of the Almighty Allah. I am Wale Abacha, the son
of the late General Sani Abacha, a past Head of State of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria. Since my father's death, my entire family has been under immense
pressure from the present Government of Nigeria, to make available the funds
in my father's possession. As a result of this, my family has lost over
US$775,000,000.00, which my father left behind for his family. Immediately
after my father's internment, my mother made numerous attempts to travel
out of the country with the funds my father kept in his country home, but
all her efforts were frustrated by the government of the day. This gave
my mother a lot of psychological problems.
As a result of these foiled attempts, l decided to tactically move some
of the funds to a security company: this l succeeded in doing without the
knowledge of my country's Government. The funds are in a total amount of
US$10,000,000.00, and sealed in trunk boxes. I have made arrangements with
the Security Company where l lodged the trunk boxes as photographic printing
materials, to help airlift the trunk boxes to my would be destination (your
country). At the moment, I cannot travel out of the country, because my
country's Government is holding on to my International Passport. It is in
view of this, l have decided to solicit your assistance in the dispensing
of these funds in a destination/location nearest to you. Remuneration is
open to negotiation.
I appeal to you in the name of almighty Allah, the beneficent and the merciful,
to sincerely and honestly render us this assistance, l know you would wonder
why l am not soliciting for assistance from well placed Nigerians, it's
really sad. You see, all my late father's friends whom we have asked for
assistance absconded with our money. . This disgraceful act by Nigerians
has made it necessary for us to seek foreign assistance. Please, we implore
you to treat this project with utmost confidentiality, as we would not want
our family name in further trouble. Thank you for your anticipated assistance.
Please, you can send your response to my mailbox and I will get back to
you immediately.
Please reply to waleabacha@voila.fr
Yours faithfully,
Wale Abacha.
