Dear Friend,
This communication to you is strictly confidential, with due respect.
Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this
letter from me, since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of it.By way of self introduction
I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife to the late Nigerian Head of
state,General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998 while still on active service for our Country. I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of $28 million U.S dollars cash which I intend to use for investment purposes and also, to help the needy.
This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my
husband and a Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian partners returned my husbands share being the above sum after his death. Presently, the new civilian Government has intensified their probe into my husband's financial resources which has led to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business licences and the arrest of my First son. In view of this Iacted very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it was closed down.
I have deposited the money in a security company with the help of very
loyal officials of my late husband. No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received such funds. The consignment was kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE" with the Security Company to avoid detection, seizure or diversion. Due to the current situation! in the country and government attitude to my family, I cannot make us e of this money within, thus I seek your help in transferring this funds out of the sub-African region. Bearing in mind that you may assist me, l have decided to part with 20% of the total sum. but if you cannot for any reason handle this transaction i should be grateful if you can introduce it to a reliable and trust worthy person in which in any case your interest will be properly taken care of.
Please kindly reply me only through this email address with your letter
of acceptance and your willingness in assisting me to receive these
fund,also include your Physical Address, personal telephone and fax numbers.Thus creating room for trust of BOND.
Your URGENT response is needed.
Best regards and do have a nice day.
Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha
