Subject: YOU WILL BE HIGHLY COMPESATED ASSISTING MY FAMILY
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: moham_ab118@yahoo.co.in
Greetings from me and my family,
Getting your contact was not an easy task because I am monitored. I ordered my uncle to seek a partner very far away and he went to the institute of
International Business to apply and he paid them the charges. After two days we were given three names and I did not write the three but merely close my eyes in prayers and your address became my selection. I intended to write one of the others if you had not responded on time or if you eventually change your mind. You! see my friend, if you rely solely on God, you will never go wrong.
My name is Mohammed Abacha, The first Child of Late General Sanni Abacha, the former President of Federal Republic of Nigeria who seized power in 1994 and he died on the throne 1998. My family was pushed and charged with corruption and embezzlement of over 21billion. I was put into detention but fortunately AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL stepped in and asked my government to release me .
I thank God that I have been finally released though still under house arrest in the sense of conditions of the freedom. During my Father's regime as president of Nigeria, we realized some reasonable amount of money from various deals that we successfully executed. I have plans to invest this money for my children's future on real estate and industrial production/shares.
Before my fathers's sudden death, I secretly siphoned the sum of $45,000,000 million USD (fourty-five million United states doll! ars) and deposited the money with a company that transports valuable g oods and consignments through diplomatic means. I am contacting you because I want you to deal with the company and claim the money on my behalf since I have declared that the consignment belong to my foreign business partner. You shall also be required to assist me in investment in your country.
I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will not betray me as you claim the fund, rather assist me properly, I expect you to declare what percentage of the total money you will take for your assistance. When I receive your positive response I will let you know where the company is and the payment pin code to claim the money which is very important. You may log into these websites below that is why we chose to be confidential.

What I need is to indicate your interest that you will assist me by receiving the money on my behalf or with special a! rrangement, you can get it transfered to you by bank transfer . For this, you shall be considered to be the beneficiary of the money.
The project in brief, is that the funds with which I intend to carry out my
proposed investments in your country, is presently in the custody of a
Diplomatic Services Company abroad. I cannot do this myself because I do not have any relatives living outside Nigeria and moreover I do not want the
government of my Country to know about the money because they will believe I got the money from my Father while he was still in office as president .
Once you confirm the receipt of the money ,I will come over with my Children to your Country to start a new life with my Family. As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into your account, I intend to purchase shares and acquiring some estates abroad. For this too you shall also be my overseas manager of all my ! family's properties and you will be paid based on a certain percentage agreed
For now, let all our communication be by e-mail because my line is right now
connected to the Nigeria Telecommunication Network services therefore we can not take the chances of being heard.
Please also send me your telephone and fax number. I will ask my son to contact you to give you more details on after I have received a response from you. I am going to introduce you to him as an age long friend so as to prevent him from using any of his own friends who I regard as sycophants who are around him for financial gains and treacherous if he gives them this opportunity.
This I got from the experience I had when the people turned against my mother and I. that became the prelude of our sorrow. The reason why it took this long was that the company's agreement with me was that I must personally sign the Power of Attorney that will transfer title to the prospective beneficiary. It was a long wait but it paid off. I, Mohammed ! abacha will not want to be personally involved for security reasons. Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Best regards,
Mohammed Ababcha.
