My dear,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance
in the context stated below:May I first introduce my self;i am DR.(MRS.)MARIAM
ABACHA, the wife of Late General Sani Abacha (former Military head of state
and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th
June 1998. I got your contact while doing a personal search through the
internet for a reliable and trusting foreigner who can come to my aid at
this time of need, to rescue me and my family from the terrible hands of
the present Nigerian government.
Presently there is a money willed in my favour which was secretly deposited
in a security company and it is amounting to ($35m) thirty five million
us dollars. This money was kept in a Security Company in Europe and I have
all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for
safe keeping.This money has been defaced for Security reasons and also to
avoid it been spent by unauthorized persons,i and my children have delibrated
on how to spend this money once collected and have concluded to perharps
go into the real estate business or any business that you might introduce
to us as a professional.
However,the current civilian administration of retired General Olusegun
Obasanjo(The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) is seeking vengeance
on the Abacha family because of the life prison jail sentence confirmed
on him by my late husband while in office. In pursuit of this vendetta,the
present Government have resolved to freeze all known assets of General Sani
Abacha including properties at home and abroad and are presently embarking
on to seize the various bank accounts of my husband in Switzerland,UK,us
and Australia.Just recently the swiss bank refounded ($458m) four hundred
and fifty eight million us dollars out the money my husband deposited in
the bank on the pretence that the money will be invested in the country,
you can be up dated by this link:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4271245.stm
In fact, the attack on our family (The Abacha's) is so devastated to an
extent of seizing our travelling passport,family accounts and even trying
some members of our family in court for offences allegedly committed by
my late husband. My first son Mohammed Abacha who was arrested and incacerated
for the past 3years was just reliese from prison on the agreement to refund
$1.5 Billion to the Federal Government of Nigeria allegedly stollen by my
late Husband, Switzerland is currently seeking the extradition of my other
son, Abba Abacha. We are not ready to comply to this as most of the family
assets and bank accounts abroad have been Frozen by the present Obasanjo
regime.
Due to all these threat our family trustee have secretly protected the
will, and the security company has called me for the claims due to the demurrage
it is incuring and i was also advised to look for a trusted person prefarably
a foreigner with a foreign account to help me claim this fund hence the
reason why I have chosen you and hope that you will come to my full assistance
and unlimited co-operation. In the meantime,there is a travelling embargo
on us(the whole family members) and our local accounts are seized. Me and
my childen are currently living on goodwill of people who believe we cannot
be held for the offence commited by my late husband. In view of this plight,I
expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this distressed
call to save me and my children from a hopeless future. And if you agree
to help, we will compensate you sincerely for your candid effort in this
regard with 30% of the total funds once it is moved into your account. 10%
will be set aside for any expence you might incure during the claim and
the remaining 60% will be invested meaningfully for my childrens future.
My cousin EMMA ADAMU has perfected arrangement with the trust company
and confirmed to me that it is risk free and safe operation. What I demand
from you now is to arrange to visit the Finance Company where this money
is being deposited and claim it as the bona-fide owner with the the documents
to back it up.
And in due course, all contacts must be made through my cousin DR.EMMA
ADAMU through his Telephone: +221 5478858.E-mail address: emma_adamu7@box.az
I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation.
In view of all above details, I request you to keep this letter and co-operation
highly confidential.
Best wishes,
DR.(MRS). MARIAM ABACHA.
ABACHAS LODGE,KANO.
