Subject: FROM MRS ABACHA!
My Dear
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife to the late Nigerian
Head of state, General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th
of June 1998 while still on active service for our Country. 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 24 million U.S dollars cash which I intend to use
for investment purposes outside Nigeria.
This money came as a result of a payback contract deal
between my husband and a Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar
Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian partners returned my husbands share being
the above sum after his death.
Presently, the new civilian Government has
intensified their probe into my husbands financial resources which has led
to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all
our business licences and the arrest of my First son.
In view of this I acted very fast to withdraw this money from one of our
finance houses before it was closed down. I have deposited the money in a
security company with the help of very loyal officials of my late husband.
No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no
documentation showing that we received such funds.
Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to my
family, I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help in
transferring this funds out of the sub-African region.
Bearing in mind that you may assist me, l have decided
to part with 20% of the total sum.
Please kindly reply by return mail and please include your personal
telephone and fax numbers.if you indicates your intertests,i will instruct
my son to call you for security reasons
You can view these website for more about my family.
