I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, 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 has been under
restriction of movement and that not withstanding, we are being
molested,policed and our Bank Accounts both here and abroad were
frozen
by the Nigerian Civilian Government.
Furthermore, my elder son is long in detention by the Nigerian
Government for-more interrogation about my husband assets and some
vital documents. Following the recent discovery of my husband's Bank
Account
by the Nigerian Government with Swiss Bank in which the huge sums of US
Dollars was lodged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence
that
I was able to move out the sum of US$45Million Dollars, which was
secretly
lodged in two trunk boxes 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 shall be contacted by my family Attorney as soon asyou show your
interest to move the trunk boxes to a safe place. Also My lawyer shall
arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigeria, in order
to liaise with you toward effective completion of the transaction.
If this request appeals to you, please forward to me your Telephone
Number,your fax number and your full names and address to enable my
lawyer
send you the Certificate of Deposit and other relevant documents, that
can
help you to claim the trunck boxes tagged materials of inheritance
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum while
70% is to be held on trust by you until we decide on a suitable
business investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by
the
Nigerian Government.
Please reply urgently as our next discusion will be centered on how you
