This business proposal to you is strictly

perceived confusion or stress may have receiving this
letter from me, Since we have not known ourselves or

write you this letter because of the urgency of it.By
way of self introduction. I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha,
the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former
Nigerian Military Head of State who died mysteriously
as a result of Cardiac Arrest. Since after my husband?s
death my family is under restriction of movement and
that not with standing, we are being molested, policed
and our Bank Account both here and abroad are being
frozen by the Nigerian Civilian Government.
Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani
Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in
june 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter
confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present
civilian administration, I have been subjected to
physical and psychological torture by the security
agents in the country. My frist son was just released from
detention some months ago by the Nigerian Government
for an offence he did not commit. As a widow that is
so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody
within the country.
Furthermore, for more interrogation about my husband?s
assists and some vital documents he's movement is also been monitored. Following
the recent discovery of my husband?s Bank Account by the Nigerian Government
with Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of US$700Million and DM450Milllion
was logged. I therefore
decided to contact you in confidence that I was able to
move out the sum of US$30Million Dollars, which was
secretly lodged in a trunk box (CONSIGNMENTS)and deposited with a Security
Company in europe as materials of Inheritance.
I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously
for your urgent assistance to move this money into your
country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot
leave the country due to the restriction of movement
imposed on the members of my family by the Nigerian
Government.
You we be contacted by my second son mustapha,
seeking asylum in United Kingdom shall arrange
with you for a face to face meeting , in order to
liaise with you toward effective completion of this
transaction.
However, arrangements have been put in place as soon
as you indicate your interest, forward to me your Telephone Number, Fax
Number and your Postal Address so that i can send it to my son for him to
contact you .the Certificate of
Deposit and other necessary documents, are with my
son, he will give you this doccunment to enable you
to claime this funds as my beneficiary.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the
total sum while 70% is to be held on trust by you until
we decide on a suitable business investment in your country
subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian Government.
Please reply urgently to email address: [mariamabacha_2005@libero.it] and
