Dear Friend,
It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek
your help in the context below.I am Mrs. Mariam
Abacha the wife of the former Nigerian Head of State
Late General Sani Abacha,whose sudden death occurred
on 8th June 1998.
Having got your particulars from the family library,
I have no doubt about your capacity and goodwill to
assist me in receiving into your custody (for safety)
the sum of US$9million Willed and deposited in my
favour by my late husband. This money is currently
kept in a Finance & Securities Company in Europe. As
it is legally required, the administration of my late
husband property is under the authority of the family
Lawyer. However, the new democratic dovernment has
on assumption of office set up a panel of enquiry to
probe the financial activities of my late husband
(former head of state) with a decision to freeze all
his Assets respectively.
The investigation team has submitted their
report;presently some cash and assets have been
frozen and seized.Fortunately, our family lawyer had
secretly protected the personal will of my husband
from the notice of investigators and have strictly
advised that the willed money be urgently moved into
an overseas account of trusted foreign friend without
delay, for security reasons. The government had
earlier placed foreign travel embargo on all our
family members and seized all known local and
international business outlet belonging to my late
husband. The situation has been so terrible that we
are virtually living on the assistance of well
wishers. In view of this plight therefore, I expect
you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to
this call I hereby agree to compensate your sincere
and candid effort in this regard with 25% of the fund
when finally received in your local bank account. The
attorney has perfected arrangements with the
securities and finance firm to effect complete
dislodgment of this money within a week of the receipt
of your response. They have equally guaranteed 100%
risk-free and smooth transfer to any niminated bank
account if you so request.Please send down the
following information as you respond to this SOS
message:
1.Your private telephone and fax numbers for prompt
access.Do include your mobile phone number also.
2.Your full names and address.mariamabachaplc@sify.com
As I look forward to your response to my direct
email address: May you remain blessed abundantly.

MRS. MARIAM ABACHA.
