Subject: AWAITING YOUR RESPONSE,
From: Alhaji Abba Abacha
ATTN:SIR/MADAM,
Firstly I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in
this business by introducing my humble self properly to
you. I am Alhaji Abba Abacha. Son of the late Gen. Sani
Abacha (Former President of Federal Republic of
Nigeria).
After due consideration, I take the liberty to contact
you through your e-mail address, which I feel is the
best way to reach you quickly. Due to the urgency of
this transaction.
My main reason of writing you this confidential letter
is to seek your personal assistance concerning a viable
business relationship. Right now I have the sum of
US$38,500,000.00 (Thirty Eight Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars which I secured from my
late father when he was alive. That awaits an immediate
transfer from me to a trusted foreign Bank account. As
you may read in newspaper publication a lot of money was
been stocked away by my late father and some top
Government Official.
Now I am not allowed by law to operate or own a foreign
Bank account as a civil servant. I need your personal
assistance/collaboration to receive the above mentioned
money in your account. For further private investment
purpose.
After which you will be entitled to 30%, 60% will be
mine, while the remaining 10% will be mapped out to
offset any miscellaneous expense incurred during the
business.
At this moment under good and concrete arrangement
regarding the successful completion of this transaction
has been concluded and it is 100% risk free with the
assistance of a very good friend of my late father, a
minister who is presently in the Government.
Right now i have successfully moved the money out of
Nigeria to Security company in Europe for security
pending the transfer to beneficiary account, but it can
not leave the security company in Europe with my name
that is why you are needed to be the beneficiary of the
said amount.
Hence I don?t want any third party involvement. An
absolute high level secrecy must be maintained.
If this business proposal interest you. Kindly reply me
directly through my e-mail address:abba_a12002@yahoo.com
if you are not interested please do send email to
enable me negotiate for another willing person
considering that time awaits for no one and please do
not forget to send your private phone and fax number for
easy communication.
I am waiting anxiously to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Alhaji Abba Abacha.
