Subject: From M. Abacha pls. get back urget
Attention,
Compliments of the day to you! :
I am Alhaji abacha muhammed, son of the late General Sani Abacha,
former Nigerian Military President who died on active Government
service on june 8,1998. I got your contact from the Internet in my
search to secure a partner unknown to me because of the nature and I
do believe you can help me. I am contacting you due to the present
situation as regards the Undemocratic manner the present
Administration in my country (Nigeria) is taking all that belongs to
us. You may be aware that this is the usual attitude of leaders
especially in Africa when there is a change of Government.
The present Government of General Olusegun Obasanjo is currently in a
face off with my family in his bid to recover all our money because of
Victimisation and Political Vendatta. They have brought up charges of
corrupt enrichmemnt against us. The law they made is yet another smear
campaign aimed mainly to frustrate,humiliate, dismember and widen the
scope of hatred for my family. A personal vendetta by President
Obasanjo who was jailed by my father's Regime for plotting a coup d
'etat against his Government in 1995. This highly calculated attempt
by this administration plus some Western Banks through bi-lateral
relationship has taken away from us a whopping amount in Switzerland
and Bank accounts around the World.
This rampaging of our Bank accounts abroad have yielded to the
barbaric pressure and sometime ago we were squized out of family
possessions and money running into multimillion of USDollar because
the accounts bear our names. These assertions can be ascertained
independently if you wish to confirm this from a leading newspaper in
Nigeria (This Day Newspapers) from their website at
www.thisdayonline.com from the archives section in the March 10, 2001,
January 26, 2002 and March 18, 2002 editions. This pressure is taking
a great toll on my family and all we ever own.
Please i wish to solicit your cooperation as a foreigner to help me
receive some family property / (Money) Deposited with a Securities and
finacial company which is my only hope / source of livelihood for now.
This is a call for you to help receive this money and put the money
into good investments since i am barred from leaving the Country for
now. Please know that the money is US$21M in cash with a Security
Finance Firm that i intend to put in your care by getting a trusted
foreigner to handle money for the purpose of investment and
safekeeping abroad. Please Note that you will be expected to deal
directly with the security Finance Firm with the information and LEGAL
POWER i shall give you to handle the entire transaction. Please know
that the money is deposited as CONSIGNMENT containing FAMILY TREASURES
and VALUABLES ONLY, ACTUAL CONTENT IN CONSIGNMENT WAS NOT DECLARED TO
SECURITY FINANCE FIRM AT THE TIME OF DEPOSIT TO SAFE GUARD THE MONEY
INCLUDED. I use this opportunity tooffer you 20% of this money($21M),
if you can handle this transaction absolute well for me.
This is however subject to our negotiation and agreement. Endeavor to
keep this highly confidential. In your response include your private
Telephone / Fax numbers and Mailling Address for easy communications
with me.
My kind regards,
Alhaji Abacha Muhammed.
