Dear Sir
It is my humble pleasure to write you this mail
irrespective of the fact that you do not know
me.Forgive me for the rather unorthodox way of contact
however; I got your contact through a consulting firm,
here in London.
I am Mr. Abbas Abacha the Third son of MRS. MARYAM
ABACHA, the former first lady and wife of the late
GEN. SANI ABACHA, the former head of state and
Commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. I am currently in England
foreseeing the high court proceedings on
behalf of my family. Due to the fact that the British
government is trying to hand over my family bank
accounts to the Nigerian government.
My mother (MRS. M. ABACHA), has, as a result of the
trust and Confidence she has in me, mandated that I
search for a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner,
who will help receive some funds, which we have in
cash Totaling US$150m (One Hundred and Fifty Million
United States Dollars Only) into a personal, company or any Reliable foreign
bank account for safe keeping for a short period of
time, since our family bank accounts within and
outside the country have all been frozen by the
authorities. (I would refer you to these few Websites
for further information about these monies and my family)

This money in question has however, been carefully
deposited with a security Company in London. You may
therefore be required to travel to any of the branches
to collect the money on behalf of my Family for
safekeeping.
It may also interest you to know that my mother
(MRS.ABACHA) and some of our family members have,since
the inception of The present democratic government,
been placed under Partial house arrest,with their
international Passports withdrawn pending the
resolution of current fund recovery face - off between
them and the present RTD GEN. OBASANJO led Federal
Government, which from all indications will not exceed
this year.
We have decided to offer anybody who will be willing
to render this tremendous assistance 35% of the total
Sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental
Expenses. Note that this transaction involves no risks
whatsoever, as you will have no dealing with my
country, Nigeria. Rather, you will deal directly with
The Security Company in London.
Let me have your confidential Tele, Fax and mobile
Numbers and also a contact address in response to this
proposal, That would enable me to send you some of my
pictures and ID I shall let you into a complete
picture of this mutually beneficial transaction when I
have received your anticipated positive reply. This
matter should be treated as urgent and confidential.
This is very important.CALL +44-7040121107
Best Regards,
MR. ABBAS ABACHA
