Subject: PLEASE HELP ME AND MY FAMILY

FROM MRS MARYAM ABACHA
20/30 GIDADO AVENUE
SABONGERI KANO STATE-NIGERIA
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Dear:Sir/Madam,

AFTER READING MY MAIL YOU KINDLY REPLY ME ON MY
PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS
(abacha_hajia2002@yahoo.it )

Good day and compliments. This letter will definitely come to you as a
huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it
carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine the
future and continued existence of the entire members of my family.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is (Mrs.) Mariam
Abacha, the wife of the late head of state and commander in chief of the
armed
forces of the federal republic of Nigeria who died as a result of cardiac

arrest on the 8th of June 1998.

My ordeal started immediately after my husband?s death on the morning
of 8th June 1998, and the subsequent take over of government by the last

administration. The present democratic government is determined to portray
all the goodwork of my late husband in a bad light and have gone as far
as
confiscating all my late husband?s assets, properties, freezing our accounts
both within and outside Nigeria. As I am writing this letter to you, my
son
Mohammed Abacha is undergoing questioning with the government. All these

measures taken by past/present government is just to gain international

recognition.


I and the entire members of my family have been held incommunicado
since the death of my husband, hence I seek your indulgence to assist us
in
securing these funds. We are not allowed to see or discuss with anybody.
Few
occasions I have tried traveling abroad through alternative means all failed.

It is in view of this I have mandated Barrister Fustus Keyamo, who has
been assisting the family to run around on so many issues to act on behalf

of the family concerning the substance of this letter. He has the full
power of attorney to execute this transaction with you.

My late husband had/has Fourty-Five Million USD ($45,000,000.00)
specially preserved and well packed in trunk boxes of which only my husband
and I
knew about. It is packed in such a way to forestall just anybody having
access to it. It is this sum that I seek your assistance to get out of
Nigeria as soon as possible before the present civilian government finds
out
about it and confiscate it just like they have done to all our assets.

Conclusively, I have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum 5% will be
for whatever expenses that will be incurred, while 70% is to be used in
buying sharein your company subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian
government.

I implore you to please give consideration to my predicament and help a
widow in need.

May Allah show you mercy as you do so?

Yours faithfully,

(Mrs.) Mariam Abacha (M.O.N)
