Dear Sir,
Following the sudden death of my husband General
Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria
in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter
confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present
civilian administration, I have been subjected
tophysical and psychological torture by the security
agents in the country. My son 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 have lost confidence with anybody
within the country. You must have heard over the
media reports and the internet on the recovery
of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband
in different security firmsabroad, some companies
willingly give up their secrets and disclosed ourmoney
confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail.
In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so
far is in the tune of $700Milliondollars. And they are
not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your
contacts through my personal research,and out of
desperation decided toreach you through this medium.I
will give you more information as to this regard as
soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you
hence myapproach to you due to security network placed
on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the
embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and
I hope you will not betray my confidence in you. I
have deposited the sum of 28.6million dollars with a
security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now
until we open communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund
into your account for safe keeping. This arrangement
is known to you and my son Mustapha alone, so my son
will deal directly with you as security is up my whole
being.I am seriously considering to settle down abroad
in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this
fund get into your account so that I can start all
over again if only you wish, but if it is
impossible,just help me in diverting this fund into
your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund .
Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction.
I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that
we can commence communication immediately and I will
give you a more detailed picture of things.
In case you dont accept please do not let me out to
the security as I am giving you this information
intotal trust and confidence.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal
in good faith.
Please expedite action.
Sincerely yours,
Hajia Mariam Abacha
