FROM:AMINA ABACHA URGENT PLEA FOR HELP.
I am Amina Abacha, the daugther of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former Nigerian Military Head of State
who died mysteriously as a result of Cardiac Arrest.
Since after my father’s death my family is 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 Nigeria
Government.
Furthermore, my borther was in detention by the Nigerian Government for more interrogation about our
father’s assets and some vital documents.
Following the recent discovery of my father’s Bank Account by the Nigerian Government with SWISS
BANK AND THE LUXEMBURG BANK ACCOUNT in which the huge sum of US$700 MILLION ,
US$600 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$28.6 Million Dollars, which was secretly defaced and is sealed
in two Metal Boxes for security reasons. PLEASE VIEW THIS SITES CAREFULLY TO BROADING

I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously 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.
Myself and my family have appointed a foreign lawyer who shall arrange with you for a face to face
meeting outside Nigeria in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of this money out of the
country in a secret vault through a security company in America/Europe, and as soon as you indicate
your interest , I shall send you the contact telephone number of my lawyer, for effective and swift
correspondence and other related documents that will help you claim the Luggage.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum while 70% is to be held on trust by you
until we can decide on a suitable business investment in your country subsequent to our free movement
by the Nigerian Government. kindly write to my private email should you are willing to assist me and my
family.
