Subject: The Abacha's
Dear Sir/Madam
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha the wife of the late Gen. Sani Abacha, former head of State of Nigeria who died on 8th June 1998 while in office. Since the death of my husband the present Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanji has been tormenting members of the Abachas family including family friends. All businesses and property owned by the Abachas have been confiscated by the Government and all our Bank Account in Nigeria and abroad have been frozen. Worst still my eldest son Mohammed has been in prison custody since the death of my husband where he was charged for frivolous offenses and made to undergo torture and pressurized to disclose the where about of the Abacha's estate.
The government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has recovered several billion of dollars and pounds from our bank account in Switzerland, Europe and America with the co-operation of the government of this country. A quick reference of Newsweek publication of March 13th 1999 were 88million dollars was taken from me will give you an insight of what I have gone through. All our friends in Nigeria are being monitored and they have kept a safe distance from us. Presently, I am placed in a house arrest as the government has seized all my families traveling documents. It is against this background that I am requesting you to assist me in picking my husbands luggage, which is kept somewhere in Abidjan, a close country to Nigeria, as this is the only hope for my families survival.
During the reign of my husband, an Aluminum Smelter Company of Nigeria (Alscom) contract was revalued. The contract was for the construction of plant, at Ikuta Abasi in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, for production of ingots and billets required as raw material for Aluminum and Allied Industries, Reynolds Incorporated of America, Phoenix and M&F Companies of Switzerland conducted the feasibility studies. The contract was awarded to Ferrostall AG of Germany. However, after the revaluation of the contract, Ferrostall AG collected its own share of the increment in project cost while my husbands share of fifty-eight Million u.s. Dollars(US$58,000,000:00)was kept in our native town in Kano State Nigeria. I know that my husband was planning of how to send this money abroad before his sudden death in June 8 1998.
Since his death, it has been very difficult for us, coupled with the hunt of all the family members and my husband personal aids by the obasanjos government. We have being looking for the best means to send this money abroad. Luckily my husbands cousin Usman Bello has been able to move this money recently to a close and neighboring Country Abidjan, amidst tight diplomatic sanction by the common wealth organization and the money is now being kept with a Security Company in Abidjan.
Presently Mr. Bello is handicapped as what next to do since he is not conversant with international monitory policies and his contract with the security company in Lagos is due by next month. I mrs.Mariam Abacha,is now hanging in Abidjan awaiting to direct a reputable and trustworthy person who has the fear of God in mind and a well experience executive with able hand to help. I believe you are in a good position to assist me to transfer this fund to your country for investment, that is why I desperately needed your assistance in order for us to ship this fund into a good Business relationship with you.
As soon as i hear from you, my family Attorney Barrister Mohammed Stamps will prepare and issue all vital and necessary documentations in your favor as the beneficiary of this Luggage. Please free to discuss with with my family Attorney Barrister Mohammed Stamps, he will be my confidant in all matters relating to this transaction for security reason.
I will give you 20%,of the total amount 30% would be reserved for Investment in the names of all my children including Mohammed, 45% would be kept in a safe bank account in my name as the holder of the account then 5% for Mr.Usman Bello. You will help us to do all these. Please i advise that you reply or contact me via or through this email address: mrsveraeyadema2003@uku.co.uk
