Dear Sir,

We write to formally introduce T.WILLIAMS & ASSOCIATES and the proposal
tendered herein. We are solicitor for Mr. Mohammed Abacha.
Mr. Mohammed Abacha is the son of the Late Formal Military Head Of States
(Genaral Sanni Abacha)Republic of Nigeria. We have had the liberty to represent
Mr.Mohammed Abacha in several matters, since the death of his father.
Mr.Mohammed Abacha recently informed us of his desire to invest the sum
of US$132,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Thirty Two Million United States Dollars)
in an external country as a form of safekeeping. With over US$49,000,000.00
in Diamond, Mr.Mohammed is able, willing and ready to provide over US$80,000,000.00
(Eighty Million United States Dollars) as investment capital in a business
venture.

Mr.Mohammed believes that the investment of these funds in external country
will secure the funds from the present government of Nigeria, EFCC and the
ICPC who might attempt to trace and retrieve these funds.

We are seeking assistance in the investment of these funds through financial
advisory services. You or your appointed representative will head this investment
project. You will retain 15%-25% of the invested capital or an equal amount
in the investment.

There are confidential documents that we are willing to provide to you on
request. It is our desire to meet with you to discuss this proposal and
shall be glad to do so as soon as possible.
please contact T.WILLIAMS & ASSOCIATES
Barrister Tunde Williams.LL.M.
