Dear Friend ,
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former Nigerian Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a result of Cardiac Arrest.Since after my husband;s death my family is under
restriction of movement and that no Ort withstanding,we are being molested, policed and our Bank Accountboth here and abroad are being frozen by the NigerianCivilian Government.
Furthermore, my eldest son was recently released from detention by the Nigerian Government for further interrogation about my husband`s assets for vital documents and informations.Following the recent discovery of my husband;s Bank Accounts by the Nigerian Government with a Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of US$700Million and DM450Milllion was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that I was able to move out the sum of US$25Million Dollars, which was secretly lodged in a trunk box and deposited with a Security
Company as materials of Inheritance.
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 the members of my family by the Nigerian Government.
You can also contact me through my family attorney a senior advocate,Barrister Kola Adewale(SAN) via e-mail :ade_senior_advocate@mail2lawyer.com and he will liaise and work with you toward`s effective completion of this transaction.
However, arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the country in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company, as soon as you indicate your interest,forward to my lawyer your
confidential telephone and Fax Number and also your residential/Postal Address,so that he can send to you the Certificate of Deposit and process other necessary documents,which will facilitate the handover
of the luggage to you.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum while
75% is to be held on trust by you until we decide on a suitable business investment in your country subsequent to our freedom of movement by the Nigerian Government.
Please reply urgently and treat this correspondence with absolute
confidentiality.
