Kindest Attention:
I am Mohammed Abacha,first Son of the Late Nigerian
Head of State, Gereral Sani Abacha who died on 8th of
June 1998 while still on duty. I am contacting you in
view of the fact we will be of great assistance to
each other like wise developing a cordial business
relationship.
I currently have the sum of Thirty Million United
States Dollars (US$30,000,000) cash, which I intend to
use for investment purposes specifically in your
country. This money came as a payback contract deal
between my late Father and Russian firm on our
country’s Multi-Billion Dollar Ajaokuta Steel Plant.
The Russian partner returned my Father's share of
US$30,000,000.00 USD after the death of my Father and
lodged it with a Security Company in Europe of which I
am the Beneficiary. Right now the new civilian
government have intensified their probe on my
Father's financial resources and they revoked our
licenses that allows us to own a financial and Oil
Company. I have since declared myself and the family
Bankrupt. No record ever existed concerning the
money neither the money traceable by the Government
because there is no documentation showing that we
received the money from the Russians.
Due to the current situation in the country and
government attitude towards my family, it has become
quite impossible for me to make use of this money
within, and outside, since my movement is restricted
by the government now. Thus I seek assistance to
transfer this money out of this security company in
Europe through our family representative / lawyer -
Barrister . Audu Jubril(SAN) To enable us discuss in
details about this transaction please contact him on
e-mail :ajubril47@netpiper.com
WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO.
I will transfer the ownership of the consignments /
boxes containing the cash to you and issue you a power
of attorney through my Lawyer. With these document you
will travel to Europe and claim the money as my proxy
from the Security Company. The entire operation is
risk free since it is only you and me and my
Lawyer that knows the details of the money
After you must have taken the money to your country
where it is save my Lawyer will then meet you in your
country to use my share of the money for investment.
Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to
transfer this fund, I propose a commission of 30%
(Thirty Percent) of the total sum to you for the
expected services and assistance. Your urgent response
is highly needed so as to stop further contact.
I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise
the utmost indulgence to keep this matter
extraordinarily confidential whatever
your decision while I await your prompt response.
Regards,
Mohammed ABACHA
