Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
It is my humble and sincere pleasure to write you this letter irrespective
of the fact that you do not know me. However I am in search of a reliable
and trustworthy person that can handle a confidential transaction of this
nature, and I am hoping that you will be that person.
My name is Koloma Ali. I was and still the senior legal representative of
the former Military Head of state of Nigeria , the late General Sani Abacha
who died in power on June 8 1998 after a brief illness.Since his untimelly
demise, the family of the late President, has suffered a lot of harrassment
and humiliation from the regimes that succeeded him.
The present President of Nigeria, President Olusegun Obasanjo and his entire
team, are enemies of the late General, because during the time of General
Sani Abacha as the President of Nigeria, President Obasanjo was put behind
bars for an unjust reason for a period of 4 years.
Hence, after the death of the Late General Sani Abacha, and the interim
Government succeeded in installing the present President, Olusegun Obasanjo,
the entire Abacha family is being subjected to total ridiculle.
Late General Sani Abacha,s wife, Maryam Jida Abacha has been barred from
travelling outside the country, and the eldest son Mohammed Abacha has been
in interrogative detention due to the fact that the present President and
the wide populace, believes all Late General Abachas funds are being kept in
foreign banks on the name of Mohammed or Maryam Abacha.
The Government has succeeded in recovering over three (3) billion dollars
from the Abacha family, however we are not stupid.
We still have over one billion dollars secured outside the country in
different countries and in secured security companys and special security
vaults.
Sir, if you are interested in helping us in getting the funds out of the
security companys, as the rightfull beneficiary of this funds, that have
been stached and kept in safes and vs18 Diplomatic boxes, you will be
rewarded generously.
Due to the fact that, our movements, and that is every person that has
something to do with the late Sani Abachas family is been under
surveillance, and also our travell documents i.e passports e.t.c have been
seized, we will give you 12% if you can help us in securing this decoded
funds out of the security firms.
Sir,for your information, this transaction is risk free. It is risk free
because, we have lost too much to this thieves here in our Government and we
have ensured that the boxes containing the funds are being stocked in trust
funds and other fiticious names so as to safe guard our interest.
My entire life and existence, together with that of the Abachas family lies
in what we now have left in this security companys, hence we beg and plead
for your humble assistance.
I have been privilledged to be the family lawyer of the Abachas for over
twenty years, hence I continue to repose my confidence and trust in all
their transactions.
Sir, you are absolutely free to take your time and study the exact facts in
past and present Nigeria and see if you can be of help to this humanitarian
cause.
We hope and pray we can bith come into business, and more importantly,
kindly keep this transaction and information a top secret.
All great men of today and yesterday, have built their lives based on
opportunity, contact luck and risk taking.
I promise you will not regret taking your time,strenght and wisdom to help
us in our present predicaments.
Awaiting your honest response.
Thank you.
Sincere regards,
Koloma ali
