ARE YOU WORTHY TO BE TRUSTED ?.
I am Barrister Robert Gunte (Advocate&Solicitor) Personal Assistant to MRS
MARIAM ABACHA (WIDOW) the wife of Late General Sani Abacha Former Head of
state of the defunct Military Government of Nigeria, who died, while in
office in 1998, After which, the Present Democratic Elected Government of
CHIEF OLUSEGUN OBASANJO, took over in 1999 as a result of Military misrule
over the years.
During the tenure of Late General Abacha , he enriched and
accumulated a lot of money while in office, but unfortunately for him, he
died.This money was lodged in different banks and SECURITY COMPANIES abroad
in America,Canada,Europe and Africa. Etc. However, the present Government
has thrown his family into a state of utter confusion,frustration,and hopelessness
and have been subjected to inhuman physical and physiological torture and
succeeded in Frozen most of the money in his Accounts.They have so far recalled
these
money back to the country, with exception of secretly deposited sum
of $20,000,000.00 with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld
for now until we open Communications. The money is contained in a metal
box consignment with Security Deposit Number which I will release to you
as soon as I observe that you are capable of championing a transaction of
high magnitude like this.
MY REASONS FOR CONTACTING YOU.
I got your contacts through my personal research and out of desperation
decided to reach you through this medium.You must have heard over the media
reports and the Internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money
deposited by Late General Abacha in different Banks and security firms abroad.
Some of these banks and security firms willingly gave-up/divulge their banking
secrets and disclosed to the present civilian administration of Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, all his family's cash lodgement and monetary transactions
with them.
Please my dear, I repose great confidence in you and I hope you will
not betray my confidence. Due to the sanction placed on the family of Abacha
by this Present Government, they can not reach the above said sum of $20M
nor withdraw it to Nigeria for use. They have
jointly decided within the family to relocate this funds out abroad for
investment. This is the only way and means they can utilize this money wisely.
Consequently, I beg for your assistance in helping them retrieve this money
from the security company and investing it into Purchasing of factory (s),
Estate and any other viable venture you might suggest.they have also agreed
to give you 30% of the total
amount as share in this business, at the end of the day. Finally, I
require the following information to facilitate and normalization of all
documentation with the Security Company. (a) Your Telephone/Fax Numbers.
(b) Full Names and Addresses. (c) Your age and Marital Status.(D) Your Occupation.
Again,all arrangement and logistics of this transaction are in place as
you are free and secured in this transaction, you will be glad you did and
we shall remain grateful.
Note:This transaction demands absolute confidentiality. On no condition
must you disclose it to anybody irrespective of your relation with the person.Remember,
Loose lips sinks ship.Do please view the below websites so as to clear your
Skepticisms about this
transaction:http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_909000/909972.stm

I am looking forward to your urgent and positive response.
Best regards
Barrister Robert Gunte.
