I AM DR.(MRS) MARIAM ABACHA THE WIFE OF THE IMMEDIATE PAST MILITARY PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA WHO DIED ON 8TH JUNE 1998.
MY MAJOR REASON OF WRITING THIS CRUCIAL LETTER TO YOU IS BECAUSE I NEED YOUR HELP. MY HUSBAND LEFT A LOT OF PROPERTIES AND HUGE AMOUNT OF CASH MONEY BEFORE HIS SUDDEN DEATH.
THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF OUR COUNTRY SUCCEEDED IN SEIZING MANY PROPERTIES BELONGING TO MY HUSBAND AND FROZED MANY OF HIS ACCOUNT. THE WHOLE WORLD HEARD ABOUT THIS INCIDENT WHEN IT HAPPENED.
THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT FAVOURABLE TO OUR FAMILY AND INDEED THEY HAVE SHOWN THIS TO US, BY SEIZING MANY OF OUR LANDED PROPERTIES AND CONFISCATED LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY BELONGING TO MY HUSBAND.
FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE DISCOVERED MY LATE HUSBAND'S WILL. THIS WILL STATED THAT THE SUM OF US$15MILLION WAS DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN NIGERIA FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. WE HAVE CONTACTED THIS SECURITY COMPANY FOR CONFIRMATION AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED TO US THAT MY HUSBAND HAVE SUCH AMOUNT MONEY WITH THEM AND THE IS STILL INTACT AND THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE TO COLLECT THE MONEY ANY TIME OF OUR CHOICE.
DUE TO THE DEATH OF MY HUSBAD AND RECENT ARREST OF MY ELDEST SON (MOHAMMED ABACHA) OUR HANDICAP AT THIS MOMENT IS THAT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF OUR COUNTRY WILL CONFISCATE THIS MONEY AND FROZEN THE ACCOUNT IF THEY CONFIRMED THAT WE STILL HAVE SOME HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE COUNTRY.
WE NEED THE ASSISTANCE OF A FOREIGNER WHO WILL HELP US BY RECEIVING THIS MONEY ABROAD WITH HIS/HER NAME BY CHANGING THE FUND OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS TO HIS/HER OWN NAME/DETAILS FOR US TO BEAT THE SECURITY THAT WAS SET ON US. THIS IS WHY I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU TO ASSIST US.
WE ARE AFRAID OF OUR FRIENDS NOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS KILLING US. CAN YOU IMAGEN THAT, WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE DISCUSSION WITH OUR FRIEND ON THE WAY OUT OF OUR PROBLEMS, THE NEXT DAY, THE GOVERNMENT WILL SEND THE SECURITY TO COME AND ARREST US FOR THE DANG EROUS DISCUSSION WE HAD YESTERDAY. SO THAT HAVE TEACHED IS ALOT OF LESSON, WE HAVE NO PERSON TO HAVE ANY SECRET DISCUSSION WITH AGAIN BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS KILLING US, SO THAT IS WHY WE HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU FOR THE BUSINESS BECAUSE WE TRUST THAT YOU WILL NOT DISSAPOINT US.
NOTE THAT, AS SOON AS THE TRANSFER IS COMPLETED, MY SON TOBI WILL COME DOWN TO YOUR COUNTRY BY YOUR ASSISTANCE AND ATTACK AS HE WILL BE INSTRUCTED. MY FAMILY WILL GIVE YOU 20% OF THE ENTIRE AMOUNT AND THE REST WILL BE RELEASED TO TOBI MY SON FOR OTHER THINGS HE WILL DO IN YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE COMING DOWN BACK TO NIGERIA.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GIVING US THIS ASSISTANCE, PLEASE INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THROUGH MY CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL ADDRESS AND FURNISH ME WITH YOUR PERSONAL DATA'S SUCH AS TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER, CONTACT ADDRESS AND ALSO INFORM ME YOUR MODE OF RECEIVING THE MONEY FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY.
AFTER THAT, I WILL THEN GIVE YOU THE ENTIRE MODALITIES FOR THE BUSINESS ON RECIEPT OF YOUR EMAIL MESSAGE. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS NEEDS TO BE EXPIATE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE SOME WORKING DAYS FROM THE DAY OF NEGOTIATION AS INSTRUCTED BY THE SECURITY COMPANY.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, ALL ACTION/MOVEMENT FROM OUR SIDE WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY MY SON TOBI M. ABACHA BECAUSE OF THE PRESENT CONDITION OF HIS ELDER BROTHER IN THE COUNTRY NOW.
PLEASE KEEP THIS BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL & SECRET ON OUR BEHALF.
BEST REGARDS,
DR. (MRS) MARIAM ABACHA
