ATTN: SIR/MADAM,
It is my pleasure to contact you in a situation like
this, I know that
the
content of this letter might be a surprise to you, but
even though we
hardly
know each other, but i believe that you can help me.
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late
Gen.Sanni Abacha former
Nigerian
Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a
result of Cardiac
Arrest.
Since my husbands death, my family has been 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
government. All
this
is because the present Nigerian President was put in
prison by my
husband
when he was found guilty of plotting a coup to
over-throw my husband.
All
my husband friends refuse to come to our aid because
of fear of the
President
and for governmental positions which he had offered
them.
Following the recent discovery of my husbands 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
l was able to move out the sum of US$30.8 Million
Dollars, which was
secretly
sealed in Two Metal Boxes for Security Reasons and was
deposited with a
safe
Deposit Company outside Nigeria through their
diplomatic service for
safe
Keeping.

understand what I am
telling
you.

for your urgent
assistance
to move this money into your country where l believe
It will be safe
since
l cannot leave the country due
to the restriction of movement imposed on the members
of my family by
the
Nigeria Government.
I have made necessary arrangement with an Attorney who
will arrange all
the
documents that covers this consignment, you will have
to met with him
at
the security company were this consignment will be

Nigerian
Government and 5% for any expenses that you will make

Also we have decided to establish a mutual business
investments with
our
own share in your country in which you will monitor on
our behalf
subsequent
to our free movement by the Nigerian government.
Please kindly reply to this email address urgently and
