REPLY TO: alhaji_abacha@web-mail.com.ar
I am ALHAJI MOHAMMED ABACHA, son of the late Nigeria
Head of State,General Sanni Abacha who died on the 8th
of June, 1998 while still on active duty.
l am contacting you in view of the fact that we
will be of great assistance to each other in developing a
cordial relationship.
I currently have within my reach the sum of FORTY FIVE
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLRAS (US$45,000,000:00) cash
which l intend to use for investment, like Real Estate
Development or import/export business
specifically in your country.
This money came as a payback contract deal
between my late father and a Russian Firm on
our countries multi-billion dollars Ajaokuta
Steel Plant Project.
The Russian Partners returned my father's share of
USD$45,000,000:00 after the death of my father and
lodged in my father's Finance company of which I am a
financial director , the new Civilian Government have
intensified their probe on my father's money.
In view of these, l acted fast to withdraw the
US$45,000,000:00 from the company's vault and
deposited in another private security company vault
overseas I have since declared the Security Company
bankrupt.
No record ever existed concerning the money traceable
by the government because there is no documentation
showing that we received the money from the Russian
Firm.
Due to the current situation in the country concerning
government attitude towards my family, it has become
quite impossible for me to make use of this money
within.
Let me refer you to the front page of This Day
Newspapers of 10th March 2001.
You can check it through their website :
www.thisdayonline.com
click on archives,8th. june,2001) The present
government in Nigeria had frozen and seized all my
bank accounts both here in Nigeria and abroad.
Thus consent l shall expect you to contact me urgently
to enable us discuss in detail about this
transaction.Bearing in mind that your assistance is
needed to transfer this fund,
I proposed a percentage of 30% of the total sum to you
for the expected service and assistance, 10% for
offsetting minor expenses incurred in the course of
this transaction.
Your urgent response is highly needed as to stop
further contacts. All correspondence must be by the
email address above.
l just use this opportunity to implore you to
exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter
extraordinarily confidential whatever your decision
while await your prompt response.
NOTE: Because of the security being mounted on the
members of my family, l have decided that this
transaction be kept in ultmost secrecy,remember to
include your private Telephone or fax number for easy
communication.
I will provide you with my very private Telephone
number as soon as I hear from you so that we can have
a voice contact before the commencement of the
transaction.
Best Regards,
ALHAJI MOHAMMED ABACHA.
