DR. MRS. MARIAM ABACHA
C/o BARRISTER EMMANUEL A SILVER
Attn: The President/C.E.O.
GOOD DAY,
I salute you in the name of most high God ( ALLAH).I asked
my secretary to furnish me with the contact of a reliable
and competent foreigner who can assist in the transfer of
funds. I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen.
Sani Abacha former Nigerian Military Head ofState who died
mysteriously as a result of Cardiac Arrest.Since my
husband’s death, my family has been under restriction of
movement and that notwithstanding, we are being molested
and constantly under watch by the government security
agents above all, our Bank accounts here and abroad have
been frozen by the Nigeria Civilian Govt. Further -more,
my eldest son was in detention by the Nigerian Government
for more interrogation about my husband’s assets and some
vital documents.
Following the recent discovery of my husband’s bank
account by the Nigerian Government with my son’s bank in
which a huge sum of US $700 million and Dutch, Mark 450
million was lodge and 1.6Billion Pounds Sterling belonging
to my late husband was seized by the Government of
Nigeria. I therefore wish to personally appeal to you
seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to
transfer the sum of $68.8 million US Dollars into your
account in your country where I believe it will be safe,
since we can not leave the country due to the restriction
of movement imposed on the members of my family by the
Nigerian Government.
You can contact me through my lawyers Email address . My
lawyer shall arrange with you for a face-to-face meeting
outside Nigeria in order to liaise with him towards
effective completion of this transaction. However,
arrangement has been put in place to move this money out
of the country from the secret vault where the money is
currently, through a security company to any of the West
African States or Europe or America as soon as you
indicate your interest my lawyer shall send to you the
Security Deposit Certificate and Airway Bill of the
luggage and other related documents so that you can claim
the luggage which shall be tagged Family Treasures.
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. To know more about my predicament you may view
