Subject: ASSIST ME URGENT.
FROM THE DESK OF DR.MRS.MARIAM ABACHA.
Dear Sir,/Madam.
I am Hajia Mariam Abacha the wife of the formal head
of state the Federal Republic of Nigeran Late General
Sani Abacha.
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani
Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in
June 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.
I have lost confidence with anybody within the
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 sum of 28.3 million dollars with a
security firm abroad whose name is with held 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 Abacha alone who
have just been relised by the Federal Government , 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 30% of this fund . Please honesty is
the watch word in this transaction.
I will give you a more detailed picture of things.
In case you dont accept please do not let me out to
the security as I am 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
N.b
I would like you to send me your Tele or cell # so
that i or my son will call you for more details.
