Dear Sir
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former
head of state of Nigeria in August 1998, I have been thrown into a state
of
utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian
administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture
by
the security agents in the country.
When you must have taken the agreed percentage, you will use part of the
balance to buy a living house for my family there in your country, where
we
shall live in the future and the remaining part will be kept for investment
package also in your country which will be under your supervision.The good
news
now is that my first son Mohammed has been released from detention by the
Federal Gorvernment of Nigeria, he was freed on the 23th september 2002.
You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery
of
various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security
firms
abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our
money
confidently lodged there or many out right blackmail. In fact the total
sum
discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700. Million dollars.
And they are not relenting to make me poor for life.
I got your contacts through my personal research,andout of desperation decided
to reach you.I will give you more information as to this regard as soon
as you
reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to
security network placed on my day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy
so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my
confidence in you. I have deposited the sum of $45.5 million dollars with
a
security firm in Europe whose name is with held for now until we open
communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for
safe
keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my Lawyer Sherif alone, so
my
Lawyer will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being.I am
seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like
yours
as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all over
again
if only you wish, but if it is impossible,just help me indiverting this
fund
into your account which will accrue you 15% of this fund . Please honesty
is
the watch word in this
transaction. I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can
commence communication immediately and I willgive you a more detailed picture
of things. In case you dont accept please do not let me out to the security
as
I am giving you this informationin total trust and confidence
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.Please
expedite action.
