Subject: ABACHA'S FAMILY ESTATE NEED'S YOUR HELP. HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
With due respect and humility, I write to you irrespective of the fact that you don't know me. I got your contact through your country's trade journal here in Nigeria when I was making inquiry for foreign assistance.
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below: May I first introduce my self as Dr. (Mrs) Mariam Abacha, the wife of Late General Sani Abacha (former military head of state and president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June 1998, Before his death, he deposited the sum of (US$121, 753, 000.00) One Hundred and Twenty One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand United States Dollars secretly willed in my favour by the late general (my husband).
A committee set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria under the able President Olusegun Obasanjo which Nuhu Ribadu is the Chairman, Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC). The purpose of the committee among other is to always investigate, verify all the Government Officials, Private Companies and Commercial Banks in Nigeria on daily basis over every crime associate with money laundering and drugs. I will be sincere to let you know that during the past military dictatorship of my Late Husband General Sani Abacha he siphone very huge amount of money from the Federal Government.
Consequently, I was told by our contact woman in the bank that they received a directive from the office of the presidency, Mr. President His Excellency - President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua (GCFR) Federal Republic of Nigeria, ordering the above office to cross check all the bank systems and records which reason is only known to him. The money in question was deposited in a account with PLATINUM BANK here in Nigeria. As it is equally required, the administration of my late husband's property is under the authority of my cousin ENG. ACHIALOR UYALOR.
The Federal Government has already recovered all most of the funds my late husband deposited in the banks abroad with the help of world bank. In this respect, I want you to assist me and my family to move this fund abroad for safe keeping pending the time my cousin ENG. ACHIALOR UYALOR shall come over to your Country for business investiment project. I don't want this fund to be confiscated by the Government hence I contacted you. Note that every word I said in my proposal about this fund is a true words and I have evidence to back it up.
However, the past civilian administration of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo (the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) is seeking vengeance on the Abacha family because of the life prison jail sentence confirmed on him by my late husband. In pursuit of this vendetta, the present government have resolved to freeze all known assets of General Sani Abacha, including properties at home and abroad and are presently embarking on to seize the various bank accounts of my husband.
In fact, the attack on our family (The Abacha's) is so devastated to an extent of seizing our traveling passport, family accounts and even trying some members of our family in court for offences allegedly committed by my late husband. In view of this grievous threat to our Economic and personal survival, our family trustee have secretly protected the will, but seriously advised me to move (US$121, 753, 000.00) One Hundred and Twenty One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand United States Dollars into an overseas account, hence the reason why I have chosen you and hope that you will come to my full assistance and unlimited co-operation.
We are currently living on goodwill of people those that believe we cannot be held responsible for the sins of my late husband. In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this distressed call to help me and my children from a hopeless future.
And if you agree I will compensate you sincerely and can do effort in this regard with 25% of the total amount of (US$121, 753, 000.00) One Hundred and Twenty One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand United States Dollars. In that case, when the money is moved into your discrete account, you will be allowed to draw 25% in your favour, while the remaining 75% will be invested meaningfully for my children's future. My cousin (ENG. ACHIALOR UYALOR) has perfected arrangements with the bank concerned and has assured 100% risk free and safe operation.
And in due course, all contacts must be made through ENG. ACHIALOR UYALOR for security reasons. Email: achialor_uyalor@yahoo.co.jp
On receipt of your reply we are going to arrange with the Bank where this fund is been deposited so that they can move this fund to their Sisters Office in Europe for easier collection. I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation. In view of all above details, I request you to keep this letter and operation highly confidential.
The site bellow is a living proof about my proposal.
