Dear Sir/Madam,
ASSALAMALAKUN
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former
head of state of Nigeria in August 1998, I have been thrown into a state
of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian
administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture
by the security agents in the country.
As a widow that is so traumatized,I have lost confidence with anybody
withinthe country.
You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery
of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security
firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed
our money confidently lodged there or many out right blackmail. In fact
the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700.Million
dollars.
And they are not relenting to make me poor for life.
I got your contacts through my personal research,and out of desperation
decided to reach you.I will give you more information as to this regard
as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach
to you due to security network placed on my day affairs I cannot afford
to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope
you will not betray my confidence in you. I have deposited the sumof 40.3
milliondollars with a security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now
until we open communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for
safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son Mustapha alone,
so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being.
I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere
like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start
all over again if only you wish, but if it is impossible,just help me indiverting
this fund into your account which will accrue you 20% of this fund .
Please honesty is the watch word in thistransaction. I will require your
telephone and fax numbers so that i can forward them to my lawyer to enable
you and him to communicate immediately and he will give you more details
and picture of things.
In case you dont accept please do not let him out to the security as he
is giving you this information in total trust and confidence.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.Please
expedite action.
Sincerely yours
Hajia Mariam Abacha
