My Dearest,
I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you this
very urgent and confidential letter. I do hope my letter will not
embarrass you since I had no previous correspondence with you.
Please all replies should be through my private email box: All replies to:

I am sending this proposal with due sense of humanity, responsibility
and with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic attention. I
regret the inconvenience it may cause you based on the condition that
we have not met before. I am Mrs. Munirat Fatima Abacha, the wife of Mohammed Abacha ,son of the late head of state of Federal Republic of Nigeria -
General Sani Abacha.
I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great
assistance to each other like wise developing a cordial relationship.
My husband along with his late father and top officials of their past
administration has been accused of looting several Billion United
States Dollars from the Nigeria Government.
The current attitude of the present government towards my family has indeed made life quite unbearable for us. Fortunately, Mohammed my Husband has Eighteen million and Six hundred thousand and United States Dollars (US$18.6 million) cash, which he intended to use for investment purposes overseas. This money is kept in
a private security company. This money was deposited for safe keeping
in the security vault of a freighting agency here by my husband
preparatory to being air lifted abroad for investment purposes before his arrest
leaving a clause that it could only be claimed by an expatriate partner. It is
only my husband and myself that know where the money is kept.
Due to the current situation in the country concerning government’s
vendettas towards my family, we seek your assistance to transfer this
money out of Nigeria for the purpose of investment as intended by my
husband. Note that my family is currently being probed by this present
government for alleged involvement in misappropriation of public funds
during my father-in-law's regime. Towards this effect, an embargo
restricting my family members from traveling or carrying out financial transactions
without their express permission is in force.
Right now, my husband (Mohammed) is under arrest and is being detained
in connection to the above and other activities of his late father.
However, I have an arrangement on how to freight this money to you
after receiving some assurances from you of the safety our own share
and that you will only take the commission that we will offer you. This money
personally belongs to my husband and he intends that it still be used for
investment.
The freighting company to be used has now been introduced to me and as
soon as we receive your readiness to assist us receives this fund we
shall formalize the deposit documents in your name and reach an
agreement with them to air lift the consignment for your pick up. Bearing in mind
that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, we propose a
commission of 15 %( Fifteen Percent) of the total sum to you for the
expected services and assistance. While 5% is mapped out for
miscellaneous expenses.
On your positive consent, I shall expect you to contact me urgently to
enable us discuss about this. Your urgent response is highly needed. I
must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise utmost indulgence
to keep this matter extraordarily confidential, while I await your prompt response.
Best regards,
MRS. MUNIRAT FATIMA ABACHA
