Dear Friend,
I am mrs marriam Abacha, wife to the late Nigerian Head of State,Gen.Sani
Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998 while still on duty. I am
contacting
you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me. I currently
have within my reach the sum of (US$15M) cash which I intend to utilise
forinvestment purposes in your country.The money is part of a payback from
a contract deal between my husband and a Chinese Firm on our country's
multi-billion Dollars Railway Line Project. The Chinese partners returned
my husband;share,US$15 Million, after his death. Now the civilian
Government in Nigeria has intensified their probe on my husband;s
financial resources which has led to the closureof all our accounts both
locally and internationally,revoking of all our business licences. There
is one account which I and my late husband opened secretly with Central
Bank of Nigeria, Abuja with one of my uncle's name. And the total sum of
$15million was deposited in the account. Nobody know about this money
except I and my husband and my uncle. Since the death of my husband the
civilian government in power now in Nigeria led by Obasanjo the
President haved frozen all our accounts but they did not seen this account
because
it is not open by our name. Sir, I want you to help me so that we can move
this
money out from Nigeria now. All arrangements have been put in place to
facilitate
all approvals of all necessary documents by the Federal Minstry of Finance
for the release of the fund to your account, if you accept orindicate
interest in this
proposal. You are entitle to 30% of the total sum of $15million while 65%
is for I and my family, while 5% has been mapped out for any local or
international expenses if needed be during the transfer of this fund. Our
lawyer will contact you as soon as you indicate interest. Try and help me
sir/madam. This proposal is 100% risk free, as soon as this money enters
into your account I want you to help and advice me on what business to
invest the money in your country, and also I want you to help me to buy a
living house for my son because he wants to leave Nigeria.I cannot make
use of this
money within Africa here, hence, I seek your help.Therefore include your
phone numbers.Your urgent response is needed. And I must remind you of the
confidentiality of this matter whatever your decision, while i wait for
your
response.
Regards,
Mrs Marriam Abacha.
