Subject: SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE
FROM: MRS MARIAM ABACHA
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 withstanding, we are being molested, policed and our bank Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigeria Government.
Furthermore, my elder son was in detention by the Nigerian Government for more interrogation about my husband's assets and some vital documents
.
Following the recent discovery of my husband's Bank Account by the Nigerian Government with SWISS BANK AND THE LUXEMBURG BANK ACCOUNT in which the huge sum of US$700 MILLION, US$600 MILLION, and AND DM450 MILLION was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that l was able to move out the sum of US$28.6 Million Dollars, which was secretly defaced and is sealed in two Metal Boxes for security reasons. PLEASE VIEW THIS SITES CAREFULLY TO BROADING YOUR UNDERSTANDING:

I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where l believe it will be safe since l cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the Nigeria Government.
Myself and my family have appointed a foreign lawyer who shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigeria in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of this money out of the country in a secret vault through a finance and security company in America/Europe, and as soon as you indicate your interest my I shall send you the contact telephone number of my lawyer, for effective and swift correspondence and other related documents that will help you claim the money.
Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum while 70% is to be held on trust by you until we can decide on a suitable business investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian Government. Kindly write to my private email should you are willing to assist me and my family.
