Subject: Why have you not responded to my mail?
Dear Friend,
Good day to you and your wonderful family.Excuse my communication
through email, on an issue as important as this one.I am Hajia (Mrs.)
Mariam
Abacha, wife of late Nigerian head of state-
Gen. Sanni Abacha. We have not met before I got your contact while
searching for a reliable organization or individual that I could
trust with this transaction and I felt I should trust you as directed
by
faith.
It is no news telling you that my family has been going through untold
hardship since
the 18th June 1998 when my husband died. My family has lost so much
including some fixed assets my husband acquired while in office.
Evidently,
the
pages of all Nigeria and International dailies, will tell better our
story.
Even now, our homes
are under surveillance, worst of it all, the Government has restored to
consficating everything that has to do with our family to the extent we
were
condition to go into agreement with the Obasajo
government before my son muhammed was release from detension.
Though, I have been reliably informed that some nigerians write emails
to
people overseas making bogus claims using the family name.
I want you to believe that this is not such email as my clams are real
and
verifyable.

SOURCES OF MY HUSBAND MONIES
Before the death of my husband, he ran among other business of his own,
bureau de change, which was flourishing with every Government support.
>From the bureau de change business, which has now been clamped down by
Nigeria Government is were my husband made his monies. I was able to
saveUSD$30,000,000.00
in cash before the business was clamped down.I
tried to safeguard it in a security company here in Nigeria but
couldn't.
Through the help of a close family friend blessed memory who works in a
security
company then, I delivered the USD$30 million and moved it out of
Nigeria
under the
label of photographic materials to a security company with name
withheld for
now till we open communication.For security reasons wouldn't mention
the
name of the country until I hear
from you. In view of our condition here and the high interest rate the
security company charges, the money could not be safe there.
I would therefore need your honest assistance to move this fund from
the Security Company to your nominated bank account. Once the money is
gets
into your account, I would require your directives to enable me
invest same in any viable business venture. If you accept this offer,
of assistance you are requested to contact me via my email address as

notice, he will furnish you with the details.

sum for your assistance. I promise you will never regret for your
