Subject: PLEASE HELP ME AND MY FAMILY
Dear friend,
Good day and compliments. This letter will definitely come to you as a
huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully
as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine the future
and continued existence of the entire members of my family.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha,
the wife of the late head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces
of the federal republic of Nigeria who died as a result of cardiac arrest
on the 8th of June 1998.
My ordeal started immediately after my husband?s death on the morning of
8th June 1998, and the subsequent take over of government by the last administration.
The present democratic government is determined to portray all the good
work of my late husband in a bad light and have gone as far as confiscating
all my late husband?s assets, properties, freezing our accounts both within
and outside Nigeria. As I am writing this letter to you, my son Mohammed
Abacha is undergoing questioning with the government. All these measures
taken by past/present government is just to gain international recognition.
I and the entire members of my family have been held incommunicado since
the death of my husband, hence I seek your indulgence to assist us in securing
these funds. We are not allowed to see or discuss with anybody. Few occasions
I have tried traveling abroad through alternative means all failed.
It is in view of this I have mandated Barrister Fustus Keyamo, who has been
assisting the family to run around on so many issues to act on behalf of
the family concerning the substance of this letter. He has the full power
of attorney to execute this transaction with you.
My late husband had/has Fourty-Five Million USD ($45,000,000.00) specially
preserved and well packed in trunk boxes of which only my husband and I
knew about. It is packed in such a way to forestall just anybody having
access to it. It is this sum that I seek your assistance to get out of
Nigeria as soon as possible before the present civilian government finds
out about it and confiscate it just like they have done to all our assets.
I implore you to please give consideration to my predicament and help a
widow in need.
May Allah show you mercy as you do so?
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Mariam Abacha (M.O.N)
