Dear sir,
I pray this important message meets you in peace, may blessings of God (Allah)
be upon you and your family and grant you the wisdom to understand my situations
and how much i really need your assistance.
Before I start let me introduce myself to yo, my name is Hjia Mrs.Mariam
Abacha the wife of the late and former head of state of Nigeria General
Sanni Abacha. since the (strange and unfortunate) death of my husband (may
God.s mercy be upon him), the government has turned against my family with
strange accusation. At first I thought it was alittle vendetta from my husband.s
enemies but I was wrong.
They arrested my first son old enough to take care of the family and then
they froze all our bank accounts known to them, hoping that we will starve
to death.Why can.t we all live in peace? Since I can.t do anything in my
position here, this is where you come in.
My family is going through hardship . The new democratic government ofPresident
Olusegun Obansanjo has seized more than US$900 million U.S dollars already
and they are still seizing a lot of land and property.
All that is remaining now is US$23 Million Dollars, and this money has been
kept in a place I cannot disclose, until we make personal contact, We cannot
touch this money in Nigeria for you know we are being seriously watched
by the government. So after discussing with my son, this is what we plan
to do with the money, we plan to send it to your country using a very popular
diplomatic courier service here in Nigeria. So this is why we need a foreign
partner inyour person and capacity and your help.
Since you will be the one collecting the package in the country that it
will be sent to, the sum would be shared in three ways. 20% will be used
to invest in your country or company and while 20% will be for you and the
other 60% will be for us. Is this okay? We also hope you can be trusted
and that you won.t disappoint us? And also confidentiality is extremely
important and before I forget once the sum arrives in the designated country
(which I will disclose to you later) we will require you to send us an invitation
letter to visityour country and collect our share. This is not a deal or
business; it is a cry for help. May God guide you. When you reply please
leave your contact details, My son MOHAMMED will be in charge of
this transaction and will communicate with you as soon as i hear from you
He will relate all your messages to me.
I cannot speak with you personally on telephone because my phone
lines have been burged.And for your own information this money is drug free
and 100% riskfree. Time is against us, so your urgent response is needed.
Please do not reject this humble proposition, and try and help me and my
family.Send your reply to my private email address:(hajiamariamabacha01jmail.co.za)OR
(hajiamariamabacha_112@yahoo.com)
Regards,
Hajia Mariam Abacha
