ATTN:THE PRESIDENT/C.E.O
Dear Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the season.I did like to send to you the best wishes of good
health and success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal
ascontained in this letter.
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha,the widow of the late Gen.Sani Abacha former
Nigerian Military 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 Nigerian Civilian
Government.Furthermore,my elder son is in detention by the Nigerian
Government for more interrogation about my husband's assets and some vital
documents.
Following the recent discovery of my husband's Bank Account by the Nigerian
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$43.3Million
Dollars,sealed in two Metal Boxes for security reasons out side Nigeria.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 Nigerian
Government.
You can contact me through my email address as above and I shall ask our
family lawyer to come over to your country to liaise with you towards
effective completion of this transaction.
However,as soon as you indicate your interest,I will ask our family lawyer
to send you the
Air-Way Bill of the Luggage and other related documents so that you can help
to claim the Luggage and subsequently transfer to your personal or company's
account.
Conclusively,we have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum,10%will be for
expenses incurred during the cause of this transaction,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
NigerianGovernment.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
Best Regards,
HAJIA MARIAM ABACHA (MRS).
