GREETINGS,
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha the wife of the late Gen. Sani Abacha, former head of State of Nigeria who died on 8th June 1998 while in office. Since the death of my husband the present Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanji has been tormenting members of the Abachas family including family friends. All businesses and property owned by the Abachas have been confiscated by the Government and all our Bank Account in Nigeria and abroad have been frozen. Worst still
my eldest son Mohammed has been in prison custody since the death of my husband where he was charged for frivolous offenses and made to undergo torture and pressurized to disclose the where about of the Abacha's estate.The government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has recovered
several billion of dollars and pounds from our bank account in Switzerland, Europe and America with the co-operation of the government of this country. A quick refer! ence of Newsweek publication of March 13th 1999 were 88million dollars was taken from me will give you an insight of what I have gone through. All our friends in Nigeria are being monitored and they have kept a safe distance from us.Presently, I am placed in a house arrest as the government has seized all my families traveling documents. It is against this background that I am requesting you to assist me in picking my husbands luggage, which is kept somewhere in Nigeria, as this is the only hope for my familys
survival.
During the reign of my husband, an Aluminum Smelter Company of Nigeria (Alscom) contract was revalued. The contract was for the construction of plant, at Ikuta Abasi in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, for production of ingots and billets required as raw material for Aluminum and Allied
Industries, Reynolds Incorporated of America, Phoenix and M&F Companies of Switzerland conducted the feasibility studies. The contract was awarded to Ferrostall AG of Germany. However, after the revaluation of the contract,Ferrostall AG collected its own share of the increment in project cost while my husbands share of fifty-eight Million u.s.

in our native town in Kano State Nigeria. I know that my husband was planning of how to send this money abroad before his sudden death in June 8 1998.
