DEAR FRIEND,
IT IS WITH HOPE THAT I WRITE TO SEEK YOUR HELP IN THE
CONTEXT BELOW.
I AM HAJIA MARIAM ABACHA, WIFE OF NIGERIA'S FORMER
HEAD OF STATE; LATE GENERAL SANI ABACHA, WHOSE SUDDEN
DEATH OCCURRED ON THE 8TH OF JUNE 1998. SINCE MY
HUSBAND DIED, I HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO A STATE OF UTTER
CONFUSION, FRUSTRATION AND HOPELESSNESS BY THE PRESENT
CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION. THE SECURITY AGENTS IN THE
COUNTRY HAVE SUBJECTED ME TO PHYSICAL AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE. MY SON (MOHAMMED) IS STILL
UNDER DETENTION ARRAIGNED BEFORE THE FEDERAL HIGH
COURT OF NIGERIA FOR AN OFFENCE HE DID NOT COMMIT. AS
A WIDOW THAT IS SO TRAUMATIZED, I AM HOPELESS WITH MY
PRESENT FATE. YOU MUST HAVE HEARD OVER THE MEDIA
REPORTS ON THE RECOVERY OF VARIOUS SUMS OF MONEY
DEPOSITED BY MY LATE HUSBAND WITH VARIOUS SECURITY
FIRMS. SOME COMPANIES WILLINGLY GAVE UP THEIR SECRETS
AND DISCLOSED OUR MONEY CONFIDENTIALLY LODGED WITH
THEM, SOME BLACKMAILED US OUTRIGHTLY. INFACT THE TOTAL
SUM DISCOVERED BY THE GOVERNMENT SO FAR IS IN THE TUNE
OF $800 MILLION USD, AND THEY ARE NOT RELENTING TO
MAKE ME POOR FOR LIFE.
I CAME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS IN A
WEBSITE AND WOULD WANT TO HAVE GOOD CONFIDENCE IN YOU
AS I VIEW YOU TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PERSONALITY. I HAVE
NO DOUBT ABOUT YOUR CAPACITY AND GOODWILL TO ASSIST ME
IN RECEIVING INTO YOUR CUSTODY (FOR SAFETY) THE SUM OF
$20 MILLION USD, WILLED AND DEPOSITED SAFELY IN MY
FAVOUR BY MY LATE HUSBAND. THIS MONEY IS CURRENTLY
KEPT IN SAFE DEPOSIT BOX (SDB) AT A SECURITY FIRM IN
DUBAI.
AS IT IS LEGALLY REQUIRED, THE ADMINISTRATION OF MY
LATE HUSBAND'S PROPERTY IS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE
FAMILY LAWYER (ATTORNEY): BARRISTER JAMES PETERS
(SAN).
THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAMS SET UP BY THE GOVERNMENT HAS
SUBMITTED THEIR REPORT AFTER FREEZING ALMOST ALL OUR
ACCOUNT. FORTUNATELY, OUR FAMILY LAWYER HAS SECRETLY
PROTECTED THE PERSONAL WILL OF MY HUSBAND, FROM THE
NOTICE OF THE INVESTIGATORS, AND HAVE STRICTLY ADVISED
THAT THE $20,000,000.00 [US DOLLARS], BE URGENTLY
MOVED TO AN OVERSEAS ACCOUNT OF ANY TRUSTWORTHY, BUT
ANNONYMOUS FOREIGN FAMILY FRIEND WITHOUT DELAY. ALL
THE LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL OUTFIT OF OUR BUSINESS
EMPIRE HAS EQUALLY BEEN SEIZED. THIS MONEY IS OUR ONLY
HOPE TO STAY ALIVE.
I HAVE THEREFORE AGREED TO COMPENSATE YOUR GOOD SELF
WITH 30% OF THE TOTAL DEPOSIT, WHEN YOU FINALLY
RECEIVE THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX, FROM THE SECURITY FIRM,
AND LODGE THE FUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT. 10% IS SET ASIDE
TO TAKE CARE OF ALL INCIDENTAL EXPENSES THAT WILL BE
INCURED BY BOTH PARTIES IN COURSE OF THE TRANSACTION
WHILE THE REMAINING 60% IS FOR MY FAMILY AND YOU WILL
BE INVESTING IT FOR US OVER THERE IN YOUR PLACE. I CAN
GUARANTEE 100% RISK FREE AND SMOOTH TRANSFER. IF YOU
ARE INTERESTED IN ASSISTING ME, RESPOND THROUGH THE
EMAIL SO THAT I WILL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT DETAILS OF
THE SECURITY FIRM. FOR OBVIOUS SECURITY REASONS IT IS
IMPERATIVE THAT YOU KEEP ALL OUR COMMUNICATIONS VERY
SECRET. DO NOT MENTION MY FAMILY'S NAME OR DISCLOSE
THE TRANSACTION TO ANYBODY. IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED
IN ASSISTING ME, STILL GET IN TOUCH SO THAT I CAN MAKE
ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENT AS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
PLEASE DO NOT EXPOSE ME.
REGARDS
HAJIA MARIAM ABACHA
