Subject: Please rply soon
Dear Sir,
It is my humble pleasure to write you this letter, irrespective of the fact
that you do not know me. However, my name is Mr.Kenneth Uba Senior Advocate
of Nigeria (SAN) and a close family lawyer to our former late military
ruler, General Sani Abacha who died suddenly in power years ago.
Since his untimely demise the family has suffered a lot of harassment from
the regimes of General Abdulsalaam Abubakar and even this present civilian
government of Chief Oluegun Obasanjo. Recently, the wife was placed
underhouse arrest in furtherance of the policy of Vendetta being visited on
the family her son Mohammed Abacha was just released from detention after
about four years without trial.
Although a lot of money has been recovered from Mrs. Abacha since the death
of her husband by the present government, there are still huge sums of money
in foreign currencies saved with some outside security company in Amsterdam
Holland and Mrs. Abacha has showed me documents of where the husband
deposited US$20m (twenty Million United States Dollars) in a security vault
for safe keeping.
This money has been defaced for security reasons and also to avoid it been
spent by unauthorized persons. Since, we have been deliberating on how to
invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came to a
conclusion to use it to buy houses and part of it will be used for safe and
non-speculative investments in your country or Lebanon. But I have chosen
your country for the investments and would also rely on your professional
advice for any safe and conducive country to invest in. Therefore, you are
to email me immediately the prices of houses in cities of (highbrow area)
in your country for us to know how to put our budget.
This money US$20Million can only be processed and received in Europe since
it has already been defaced for security reasons. If your conditions are
good we will prepare you as the beneficiary of the total fund because we
have the documents already with us. The Security Company has called me and
Mrs. Abacha to do something about claiming this consignment because of the
demurrage it is incurring and we told them we would come and claim it very
soon.
You will have twenty five percent, while ten percent will be for the
expenses incurred on both sides and sixty five percent will be for us, if
you accept to help us with this project. I want you to please understand
that I am involved in this issue because I am Madam Abacha's confidant.
You are therefore to contact me on my private email Please remember to
include your current private telephone and fax numbers. If you keep this
project secret, we will be prepared to do more business with you.
Expecting your urgent response.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Kenneth Uba (Senior Advocate of Nigeria)
