This money is kept in a trust account with ecobanque international finance and security in Lome republic of Togo.
As it is equally required, the administration of my late husband's properties under authority of our family lawyer, however the current civilian administration of retired General Olusegun Obansanjo (president of the federal republic of Nigeria.) is seeking vengeance on the Abacha family because of the life prison jail sentence confirmed on him by my late husband during his tenure as military.
In pursuit of this vendetta, the present government has resolved to freeze all known assets of General Sanni Abacha (my late husband). Including properties at home and abroad and are presently embarking on sizing the bank account of my husband.

In view of this plait, I expect you to be trust wealthy and kind enough to respond to this distress call to save me and my children from hopeless future. And if you agree I will compensate you for your sincere and candid effort in this regard with 25% of the total amount of ( Us$33,400,000.00 ) thirty three million four hundred thousand united states dollars.
In that case, when the money is moved into your discreet account, you will be allowed to draw 30% in your favor, 10% of the fund will be set aside to reimburse miscellaneous expenses incurred by both parties before the conclusion of the transaction, while the remaining 60% will be invested meaningfully for my children future.
Our family lawyer has perfected arrangements with the Security Company consigned and has assured 100% risk free and safe operation.
