Subject: SAVE OUR SOUL.
SAVE OUR SOUL.
I am MRS MARRIAN SANI ABACHA., the widow of the Late SANI ABACHA. former
Nigeria Head of State who died mysteriously as a result of Cardiac Arrest.
Since after my husband's death my family is under restriction of movement
and that not withstanding, we are being molested, policed and our Bank
Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigeria Government.
Furthermore, my elder son who is in detention has just been released but
Nigeria Government are still interrogating him about my husband's assets and
some vital documents.
Following the recent discovery of my husband's Bank Account by the Nigeria
Government with Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of US$700 MILLION and DM450
Million was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that I
was able to move out the sum of US$25 Million Dollars, which was secretly
defaced and is sealed in two Metal Boxes for security reasons.
I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously for your
urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it
will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of
movement imposed on the members of my family by the Nigeria Government.
You can contact me through my family ATTORNEY:
.................................. on his private Email:
And my lawyer shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside
the Country in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of this
transaction.
However, arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the
country in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company , and as
soon as you indicate your interest forward to my Lawyer: your TELEPHONE
NUMBER:,FAX NUMBER PREFERABLE FOR EASY COMMUNICATION: and your postal
address, So that he shall send to you the Air-Way Bill of the Luggage and
other related documents so that you can help to claim the Luggage-Fund.
Though, I have succeeded in transferring some of this money
precisely US$10.0M (Ten Million US Dollars only) into a foreign
account in MOROCCO (NorthAfrica), but the provider of the account in MOROCCO
is up to some mischief and refuses to comply to the earlier mutual agreement
by insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account
before disbursement will take effect. But he run away with the money.
Thathow i losse Us$5m.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum while 70% is
to be held on trust by you until we can decide on a suitable business
investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by the Nigeria
Government. 10% for any Expenditure here and abroad if may occured.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerety.
