URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
BARRISTER JOHNSON EZEH
LAGOS - NIGERIA
E-mail:ezeh2005@mail.az
Dear Friend,
I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you
this very urgent and confidential letter.
I am BARRISTER JOHNSON EZEH the Lawyer to MRS.
MARIAM ABACHA the wife of the late Nigerian Head
ofState General Sani Abacha who died of heart - attack on
Monday,the 8th of June,1998.
Upon the sudden and tragic death of her husband,General Abacha,
there has been an intensive but secret exercise by the present
civilian government to close /freeze all his bank accounts both
home and abroad as he was confirmed to have directed a certain
percentage of oil proceeds totalling over US$ 500M (FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION U.S.DOLLARS) into private bank accounts scattered in
several countries of the world; accumulated during his 41/2
years of military rule. An issue that was already on
pressbefore his sudden death.
Since this exercise started few month ago, my client who is still
in confinement has been in a very serious agony and mental stress
as the entire family have virtually lost every including landed
properties and major investments both home and aborad. Luckily,
there happens to be a special security account which my client
deposited a sum of US$ 51,375,000. 00 (FIFTY ONE MILLION, THREE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND U. S DOLLARS).
This fund in my clients company's name and is lodged in a
Company Security Account Deposits (CSAD) with a WestAfrican
Sub-Regional Bank.The fear there is that my client is one of the
directors and invariably a major shareholder in the company,
there exists a possible trace of this fund when once they finish
with the accounts/assets principally owned by her husband, the
Late Head of State himself.It is therefore on this note that my
client have taskfully delegated me to quickly source a
trustworthy and reliable person/company in your country who will
kindly help us to accommodate and safeguard this fund into his
account to save us from the calamities of the present clamp on
her husband (the ex president) bank accounts/assets all over the
world.
Note that we have concluded arrangements for the release of the aforementioned
sum to your bank account within the shortest possible time as soon as we
concluded talks. As a result
of this and other higher levels of financial transaction which I
would want to enter with you as made possible by the death of my
client's husband, I am suggesting that we schedule a meeting
immediately.
Please endeavour to contact me immediately through my private and
confidential or Email:ezeh2005@mail.az whether or not this
offer is acceptable to you, so as to enable me make other
alternative contacts, on the contrary. I await your urgent reply
while believing you do understand the confidential nature of this
transaction.
Best Regards,
BARRISTER JOHNSON EZEH
