REQUEST FOR YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend,
I am appealing to to come to my aid .I am Mariam Abacha, wife to the late military head of state in Nigeria. i got your information from a well certified site in the internet and prayed over and over for divine guidance before i decided to write you these mail.
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former head of state in Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country.
As a widow that is so traumatized ,I have lost confidence with anybody within the country. You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there and many out rightly blackmail us .In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700. Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me poor for life.
I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you. Due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you .I have deposited the sum of U.S 40.3 million dollars with security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now until we open communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping or instead of my Government to confiscate the fund , i do rather have you as foreign business partner and i shall entrust the fund under your care for investment as you are my representative abroad This arrangement is known to you alone, since the security is up my whole being .Please honesty is the watch word in this arrangement .
1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers
4. Occpation
so that we can commence communication immediately .In case you don accept please dont let me out to the security. I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Please expedite action and reach me directly my email ;
drmariam45halima@yahoo.com
yours Sincerely
Dr .Mrs. Mariam Abacha
