Subject: PLEASE HELP ME
TOP-SECRET FROM:MRS.MARYAM ABACHA(WIDOW)OF
LATE NIGERIAN HEAD OF STATE.
MY DEAR GOOD FRIEND
Greeting to you and your family, First i must solicitfor your confidence in this transaction,
This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTAIL&TOP-SECRET, though i know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but i am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.Let me start by introducing myself properly to you, i am Maryam Abacha(Mrs)widow of the late Nigerian
haed of State, Gen,Sani Abacha, i know yuor profile through my private search for a reliable and trust-worthy foreign partner through foreign trade office of Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and industry, highlighting your profile in a glowing terms, that impressed me so much that i was convinced as to believe your capability to handle this most CONFIDENTAIL transaction , which involved securing of a huge sum of money already dispatched out of Nigeria with non-existent foreign names for avoidance of tracing.
It is because of the perceived possiblity of not being able to use my name or our family name to dispatch the money into a private security & finance trust, outside Nigeria just to avert any negative development, i can alson reveal to you that my husband was polsoned in july 1998, by his trusted Nigeria friends, while the incumbent President Obasanjo, was in prison for masterminding a coup to topple my husband, after my huaband death, Obasanjo was released and made to run for 1999, election which he won by rigging, since then Abacha's family was in a HALLOO, i and all members of Abacha family including Mohammed my son and his first cousin Mr. Gibson was arrested and dumped into prison for three years. Mr. President traced and seized US$2.8 billion, Abacha's family money in London bank, seized another 1.3 billion Deutschmark in Germany bank, Mr. President quickly affirmed that my son Mohammed would only be released on the condition that he would sign an Agreement to refund an!
other
US$1.5 billion, according to Mr. President starched away by Abacha's family,(all this threat was to avenge the incarceation of Mr.President by my husband over the 1995, alleged coup).No money would be refunded i assure you.However,Mohammed and his cousin was released on Monday Sept, 23. 2002. after three years of Harrowing experionce in prison, Mr. President gave condition to release Mohammed thus: That the State Security Service Operatives (SSS) will be attached permanently to Mohammed on 24 hours basis (b)That he should make himself avallable within 12 hours whenever he is needed by the security agents,(c)That he will seek and get the approval of the Director of the sss before he can get out of his state,(d)That he should always be in sight of
the Security Agents,(e)That he should not travel abroad without informing the Security Agents. These harsh and cruel conditions, definitely placed the entire family in a tight corner as we no longer have any private life of our own, our fundamental rights to privacy are still infringed upon, based on this facts, may i seek your permission to have you stand as Mr. Collins Edward, the non-existent foreign name we used to be able to
remove the money we deposited in SPAIN, would you accept 20% offer to receive the money on our behalf, i have alson decided to set aside 10% to cover any expenses you may incur. If my proposal is acceptable to you do not make undo advantage of the
trust i have bestowed on you.Kindly get to me immediately on he aboveE-(mail:maryam_abacha2002002@yahoo.com more detalies dicussion please feel free to ask any question you may consider necessary
.
Thanks you for considoration.
I am looking forward to urgent reply,
Mrs.Maryam Abacha
