Subject: SUPPORT OUR FAMILY
Compliments of the day to you! :
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha widow of the late General Sani
Abacha former Nigerian Military President who died on
active Government service on june 8, 1998.
I got your contact from the Internet and I do believe you
can help me.
I am contacting you due to the present situation as regards
the undemocratic manner the present administration in my
country (Nigeria) is taking all that belongs to us You may
be aware that this is the usual attitude of leaders
especially in Africa when there is a change of Government.
The present Government of General Olusegun Obasanjo is
currently in a face off with my family in his bid to
recover all our money because my Husband is dead. They have
brought up charges of corrupt enrichmemnt against us.
The law they made is yet another smear campaign aimed
mainly to frustrate, humiliate, dismember and widen the
scope of hatred for my family. A personal vendetta by
President Obasanjo who was jailed by my husband's Regime
for plotting a coup d 'etat against his Government in 1995.
This highly calculated attempt by this administration plus
some Western Banks through bi-lateral relationship has
taken away from us a whopping amount in Switzerland and
Bank accounts around the World. This rampaging of our Bank
accounts abroad have yielded to the barbaric pressure and
sometime ago we were squized out of family possessions and
money running into multimillion of USDollar because the
accounts bear our names. These assertions can be
ascertained independently if you wish to confirm this from
a leading newspaper in Nigeria (This Day Newspapers) from
their website at www.thisdayonline.com from the archives
section in the March 10, 2001, January 26, 2002 and March
18, 2002 editions.
This pressure is taking a great toll on my family and all
we ever owe. Please we wish to solicit your cooperation as
a foreigner to help us receive some family property /
(Money) Deposited with a Security company which is our only
hope / source of livelihood for now.
This is a call for you to help receive this money and put
the money into good investments since we are barred from
leaving the Country for now.
According to my estimation outside of Africa alone we still
have over US$70M in cash with Security Companies that we
intend to put in your care by getting a trusted foreigner
to handle money for the purpose of investment and
safekeeping abroad. Please Note that you will be expected
to deal directly with the security company with the
information and LEGAL POWER we shall give you to handle the
entire transaction.
There is demurrage charges accrued over time payable to
Security Company to enable collection of the Consignment,
since the Security Deposit we made at the time of Deposit
has since expired. You must also know that CONSIGNMENT WAS
DEPOSITED AS FAMILY TREASURES, ACTUAL CONTENT ON
CONSIGNMENT WAS NOT DECLARED TO SECURITY COMPANY AT THE TIME OF DEPOSIT
TO SAFE GUARD IT. If you can do this,
contact my ATTORNEY, BARRISTER ANTHONY TONSA as you will be well
REWARDED.
This is however subject to our negotiation and agreement.
You can contact me ONLY via our family Attorney, Barrister
ANTHONY TONSA , BY email: barristertonytonsa@post.cz for security
reason and further details. Endeavor to keep this highly
confidential.
In your response include your private telephone / fax
numbers for easy communications with him.

My kind regards, Mrs. Mariam Abacha
