Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU?
Dear Sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this mail from me since you do not know me personally, I got your contact through network online hence decided
to write.
I am Hassana Baki Abdulahi, the wife of late general abdulahi Hamza, who was the military attachee to south Africa during the regime of the general Sani Abacha, on the 21st of April 1998, my husband who was very close with general Abacha was given $US15, 000,000.00, but unfortunately, president Sani Abacha died before the general election was to be held that year 1998.the money was given to my late husband to be used for some powerful African leaders to support Abacha in case of any external disruption.
My husband secretly kept this money in a security company immediately the money was given to him .it was only me and that knew about the
deposition of the money with the said security company. After the death of Abacha, we thought the family will approach my husband for the fund to be refunded but to the greatest dismay, the family of Abacha was not aware of the money.
On 22nd day of June 2006 my husband died on ghastly auto crash along Abuja-Kano road .
I and my family has been humiliated by the present government, all my husband money left behind has been taken by the government, our family account
has been frozen even our personal house were seized all because my husband served the late general Abacha and he was his confidants.
I have contacted you to assist me to clear this fund from the security company where this fund is secretly kept into your account hence no body is
aware of the money except only me with all the document.
However the security company has issued me a notice to come over for the clearance of the money, which was concealed in one trunk box, or have
it confiscated within the next 30 official working days.
Since I have been on security watch by the government for all most 1 year now, I seek your concept to present you as the owner of the
box(fund),so that the money will be sent to you, then you and I can share the money.70% for me and 30% for you. This transaction is legal and very easy, no risk involve at all.
What I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
Please contact me with your full name, age, mailing address, phone and fax number on my personal email address for security purposes at hassanb01@yahoo.com Upon the confirmation of this and your readiness to receive this fund, I will immediately ask an attorney to carry out
the legal procedures so that you will be contacted by the security company for onward dispatch of the fund to you.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you any breach of the law. Please treat this matter as
urgent as possible, I expect your soonest response.
Best regards
Sister Hassana Baki Abdulahi.
