Subject: A plea for help
Dear friend,
My name is Mohammed Abacha, the eldest surviving son of former military ruler Sani Abacha the former President of Nigeria. I am writing you this letter to propose a business that will be of mutual benefit to you and me.
After the death of my father in 1998 most of his funds in Banks in Europe were confiscated by the Nigerian government. The current head of state president olusegun obasanjo who wanted to over throw my father 1997 was detained on awaiting trial to be executed before the untimely death of my father 1998.
My muselim brothers that is why he the current president of Nigeria sees it as an advantage over the abachas family to kill us all. However, before the death of my father he had deposited the sum of $26,000,000.00 US dollars with a Security and finance company in Europe.
This fund was transferred via Diplomatic means to the office of the Security firm to be secured in a Bonded safe vault.
The lawyer who signed on behalf of my father and i called me few days ago to come forward and claim this fund.
Right now all the Abacha's family are under house arrest and i can not do anything from here now for this reason i need your assistance to help me and claim this fund from the security firm and invest part of it into a profitable business in your country under your supervision and control. As soon as the fund gets into your country you will then assist me and my family to come over to your country where we hope to start a new life.
For your help you will be entitled to 21% of the total amount and 9% will be set aside for miscellaneous purposes excluding any expenses incurred.
Respond back to me immediately so I can give you more details and necessary documentations regarding this transaction.
Note also that you must keep my contact with you secret and confidential because the lives of my family are not safe here in Nigeria.
NB: The contact telephone number of My lawyer in Spain is 34-692-974-003 and his name is carlos alberto.
Best regards,
Mohammed Abacha.
