Dear Sir/Madam
I am highly compelled upon recommendations, to write you this very urgent
and confidential letter. I am Chief Barrister Johnson Okafor (Esq) the
Attorney to MRS MARIAM ABACHA the
wife of the late Nigeria head of State General Sani Abacha who died of heart
attack on Monday 18th June 1998. Upon the sudden and tragic death of her
husband, General Sanni Abacha, there has an intensive but secret exercise by
he present Civilian Government to close/freeze all his bank accounts both
home and abroad as he was confirmed to have directed certain percentage of
the oil proceeds totaling over US$900,000,000:00 (NINE HUNDRED MILLION U.S
DOLLARS) into his private account scattered in several Countries of the
world, accumulated during his four and half (41/2) years of military rule,
an issue that was already onbefore his sudden death. Since this exercise
started few months ago, my client (Mrs.Mariam Abacha) who is still in
confinement has beenin very serious agony and mental stress as the entire
family has virtually lost everythingincluding landed properties and major
investment. Luckily, there happens to be a special security accounts in
which my client deposited sum of US$26,000,000:00 ( TWENTY SIX MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS).This fund is in a friend's company's name and is
lodged in Company's Account Security Deposit (CSAD) with aWest African
Regional Bank. The fear is that my client was one of the Directors and
invariably a major shareholder in the company if there exists a possible
trace of this fund when once they finish with the account/assets
investigation principally owned by her husband, the Head of state himself,
there is likely going to be a serious problem of confiscation. As a result
of the foregoing,l have successfully arranged with a courier organization to
carry/ship the sum of $26,000,000:00 to you to hold for us in trust. These
luggages are tagged "Diplomatic Luggages".This is to ensure and /or
Guarantee the express and unchecked shipment to your Designated address.They
will come in full "CASH" If this arrangement is accepted to you please,do
not hesitate to contact me through this my private and confidential MAIL BOX
or Alternatively on: arristerjohnsonokafor203@yahoo.com Note that
conditions will be discussed when l hear from you.Thanking you in an
anticipation in your favorable response.
YOURS FAITHFULLY
Barrister Johnson Okafor (Esq)
Attorney to Abacha's family.
