DEAR SIR/MADAM
IT IS WITH HEART FELT HOPE THAT I WRITE TO SEEK YOUR
CO-OPERATION AND ASSISTANCE IN THE CONTEXT STATED
BELOW:MAY I FIRST INTRODUCE MY SELF:
I AM DR.(MRS.) MARIAM ABACHA,THE WIFE OF LATE GENERAL
SANI ABACHA
(FORMER MILITARY HEAD OF STATE AND PRESIDENT OF THE
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA) WHO DIED SUDDENLY ON 8TH
JUNE 1998. I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH THE HELP OF MY
SISTER-INLAW THAT WORKS WITH THE CANADIAN CHAMBERS OF
COMMERCE AND TOURRISM,THOUGH I DID NOT DISCLOSE TO HER
MY HUMBLE INTENTION FOR A HONEST FOREIGNER WHO WILL
HELP SAVE MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN.
HAVING NOTED THE CONFIDENCE REPOSED ON YOUR PERSON BY
THE SPONSOR OF THE RECOMMENDATION, I BECAME CONVINCED
OF YOUR CAPABILITY AND GOODWILL TO ASSIST ME IN
RECEIVING THE SUM OF US$31.5 MILLION SECRETLY WILLED
IN MY FAVOUR BY MY HUSBAND.
I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS WITH ME AS OF WHEN IT WAS
DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY VAULT FOR SAFE KEEPING.
CONSEQUENTLY, I MY FAMILY HAS BEEN DELIBERATING ON HOW
TO INVEST THIS FUND ABROAD IN A CONFIDENTIAL MANNER
UNTIL WE CAME TO A CONCLUSION TO USE IT TO BUY HOUSES
AND PART OF IT WILL BE USED FOR NON-SPECULATIVE
INVESTMENTS IN YOUR COUNTRY.
HOWEVER,THE CURRENT CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION OF RETIRED
GENERAL OLUSEGUN OBASANJO(THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA) IS SEEKING VENGEANCE ON
THE ABACHA FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE LIFE JAIL SENTENCE
CONFIRMED ON HIM BY MY LATE HUSBAND WHILE IN OFFICE.
IN PURSUIT OF THIS VENDETTA,THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT
HAVE RESOLVED TO FREEZE ALL KNOWN ASSETS OF GENERAL
SANI ABACHA INCLUDING PROPERTIES AT HOME AND ABROAD
AND ARE PRESENTLY HE HAS SUCCEDED IN SEIZING VARIOUS
BANK ACCOUNTS OF MY HUSBAND IN SWITZERLAND,UK AND
AUSTRALIA.
INFACT, THE ATTACK ON OUR FAMILY (THE ABACHA'S) IS SO
DEVASTATED TO AN EXTENT OF SEIZING OUR TRAVELLING
PASSPORTS, FAMILY BANK ACCOUNTS AND EVEN TRYING SOME
MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY IN COURTS FOR OFFENCES ALLEGEDLY
COMMITTED BY MY LATE HUSBAND. MY FIRST SON MOHAMMED
ABACHA WHO WAS ARRESTED AND INCACERATED FOR THE PAST 3
YEARS WAS JUST RELIESED FROM PRISON ON THE AGREEMENT
TO REFUND $1.5 BILLION TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF
NIGERIA WHICH ALLEGEDLY HAS BEEN PORPOTED STOLLEN BY
MY LATE HUSBAND. WE ARE NOT READY TO COMPLY TO THIS AS
ALL THE FAMILY ASSETS AND BANK ACCOUNTS ABROAD HAVE
BEEN SIZED/FROZEN BY THE OBASANJO ADMINISTRATION.
IN VIEW OF THIS GREVIOUS THREAT TO OUR ECONOMIC AND
PERSONAL
SURVIVAL,OUR FAMILY TRUSTEE MERCIFULLY PROTECTED THE
WILL,THE SECURITY COMPANY HAS CALLED ME TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT CLAIMING THIS CONSIGNMENT BECAUSE OF
THE DEMURRAGE IT IS INCURRING AND I TOLD THEM WE WOULD
COME AND CLAIM IT VERY SOON BUT THEY SERIOUSLY ADVISED
ME TO MOVE THE FUND INTO AN OVERSEAS ACCOUNT, HENCE
THE REASON WHY I HAVE CHOSEN YOU AND HOPE THAT YOU
WILL COME TO MY FULL ASSISTANCE AND UNLIMITED
CO-OPERATION.
IN THE MEANTIME,THERE IS A TRAVELLING EMBARGO ON
US(THE WHOLE FAMILY MEMBERS) AND OUR LOCAL ACCOUNTS
ARE SEIZED. WE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING ON GOODWILL OF
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE SINS OF MY LATE HUSBAND.
IN VIEW OF THIS PLIGHT, I EXPECT YOU TO BE TRUSTWORTHY
AND KIND ENOUGH TO RESPOND TO THIS DISTRESSE CALL TO
SAVE ME AND MY CHILDREN FROM A HOPELESS FUTURE. WHEN
THE MONEY ($31.5 MILLION) IS MOVED INTO THE SECRETE
ACCOUNT YOU WILL PROVIDE, YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO
WITHDRAW 30% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS YOUR PERTICIPATING
SHARE,WHILE 10% HAS BEEN SET ASIDE FOR ANY EXPENSES
YOU MIGHT INCURE DURING AND AFTER THE CLAIM.THE
REMAINING 60% WILL BE INVESTED MEANINGFULLY FOR MY
CHILDREN'S FUTURE. MY ATTORNEY (BARRISTER IBRAHIM
