Hello Dear,
I am Hajia Maryam Abacha, widow of the Late Gen. Sani Abacha former Nigerian
Military Head of State who died on june 8 1998 as a result of cardiac arrest.I
got your contact from a personal directory i found in our study room,after
the death of my husband.
I therefore decided to contact you in confidence so that I can be able to
move out the sum of Forty Eight million,US dollars ( $48,000,000.00) which
was carefully sealed in a big trunk box for security reasons. I personally
therefore appeal to you for your urgent assistance to move this money into
your country, through diplomatic means,where I believe it will be safe since
I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on
me and members of my family by the Nigerian government.If you know my husband
Gen Abacha when he was alive,you will discover that we worth over one billion
dollars ,but the government of the day has made us to start asking people
to come to our aid pending when we will have our freedom or the termination
of this government.
However, arrangement has been put in place to move this money out of the
Security company where it is presently now in Europe to any foreign partner
who will accomodate this funds in his/her account pending when our suite
with the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT will come to and end then we will come over
to have our funds back.
Conclusively, I have decided to offer you 20% of the total sum 5% will be
for whatever expenses that will be incurred, while 75% is to be used in
buying shares in companies in your country subsequent to our free movement
by the Nigerian government.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and
sincerity.
Thanks for your understanding in this regard, as i look forward to your
kind response.Kindly get intouch with my son MOHAMMED ABACHA on 234-803-344-0910

Best regards,
HAJIA Maryam.
