Subject: (Assalamu Alikum) from Hajia Mariam Abacha(Mrs)
From: Mrs. Mariam AbachaPlot 1 Sanni Abacha Crescent,Sabon Geri Kano State.
Attn:President/ceo
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former Nigeria Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a result of Cardiac Arrest. Since after my husband’s death i have been under restriction of movement and that not withstanding,my family members are being molested, policed and our Bank Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigeria Civilian Government.
Following the recent discovery of my husband’s Bank Account by the Nigeria Government with Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of US$700 Million and DM450 Million was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that I was able to move out the sum of US$28.6 Million Dollars,which was secretly defaced and is sealed in two Metal boxes for security reasons.
I therefore personally, appeal to you Seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on me and members of my family by the Nigeria Government.
Please kindly send me your telephone number,fax number and also your full name,address which I will hand over to my attorney to prepare you on how to claim the funds from the security company.
However,arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the country in a secret vault through a security company, and as soon as you indicate your interest my Lawyer shall send you all related documents that will enable you claim the Luggage on my behalf.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 25% 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 Nigeria Government. While 5% is mapped out for expenses as your government may demand for tax and it also covers your telephone bills. Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity. NOTE:Please reply me through my email address which is more confidential and secured email.Best regards.
Hajia Mariam Abacha(Mrs).
