my country.
Her husband Late General Sanni Abacha made a lot of money through Oil

death that he was worth well over $4.5 billion in United State Dollars and
some of this money was retrieve after he died while some was recovered from
officials that served under him during his reign as president of Nigeria.

once because she need to build confidence and trust.

company . so she has agreed that I should make arrangements for the transfer
of $60.5 million United States dollars and you are free to negotiate your
mode of compensation even as she intends to invest the money in your
country.
Please, do not hesitate to indicate your view of this request by
contacting me immediately you receive this mail so that the necessary
arrangements can be made for the money to leave immediately.
Due to the present situation of my client, I would be happy if this request
can be kept a secret.
