Received August 28, 2001 from aderojumuyi2001@yahoo.com
Dear Sir,
Good day and compliments. This letter will definitely
come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to
take the time to go through it carefully as the
decision you make will go off a long way to determine
the future and continued existence of the entire
members of my family.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr.
(Mrs.) Mariam Abacha,the wife of the late head of
state and commander in chief of the armed forces of
the federal republic of Nigeria who died on the 8th of
June1998.My ordeal started immediately after my
husband's death on the morning of 8th June 1998, and
the subsequent take over of government by the last
administration. The present democratic government is
determined to portray all the good work of my late
husband in a bad light and have gone as far as
confiscating all my late husband's assets, properties,
freezing our accounts both within and outside Nigeria.
As I am writing this letter to you, my son Mohammed
Abacha is undergoing questioning with the government.
All these measures taken by past/present government is
just to gain international recognition.
I and the entire members of my family have been held
incommunicado since the death of my husband, hence I
seek your indulgence to assist us in securing these
funds. We are not allowed to see or discuss with
anybody.Few occasions I have tired traveling abroad
through alternative means all failed. It is in view of
this I have mandated MR ADEROJU MUYI, who has been
assisting the family to run around on so many issues
to act on behalf of the family concerning the
substance of this letter. He has the full
power of attorney to execute this transaction with
you.
My late husband had/has Eighty Million USD
80,000,000.00) speciallypreserved and well packed in
trunk boxes of which only my husband and
I knew about. It is packed in such a way to forestall
just anybody having access to it. It is this sum that
I seek your assistance to get out of Nigeria as soon
as possible before the present civilian government
finds out about it and confiscate it just like they
have done to all our assets.I implore you to please
give consideration to my predicament and help
a widow in need. May God show you mercy as you do so.
Your faithfully,
Dr (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha (M.O.N)

address for further briefing and modalities

Dear friend,
Following the sudden death of my husband, Late General
Sanni Abacha, the former head of state of the federal
Republic of Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown
into a state of utter confusion, frustration and
hopelessness by the present civilian administration.
Security agents in Nigeria have subjected me to
physical and psychological tortures. One of my sons is
still under detention as well as arraigned before a
Federal High Court of Nigeria for an offence he did
not commit. As a widow, that is so traumatized, I have
lost hope and confidence in anybody within the country.
You must have heard over the media and the Internet on
the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited
by my late husband in different security firms abroad.
Some willingly gave up their secrets and disclosed our
money confidently lodged with them and many
out-rightly declined lodgment. In fact the total sum
discovered by the Government so far is to the tune of
$700 million dollars. And the government has not
relented in its efforts to completely bring my
children and I back to square one. This is why I
deemed it necessary to act fast by contacting anybody
abroad for assistance. Furthermore, due to the
security network placed on my daily activities I
cannot afford to visit any embassy for a possible
solution, hence I have decided to contact you and I do
hope you will be the person God is going to use
torescue my family and I.
I have deposited the sum of $35 million dollars in a
security firm abroad as whose name is with held for
now for security reasons until we fully commence
communication. I shall be grateful if you could
receive this fund on my behalf for safekeeping.
Adequate arrangement has been made for receiving the
fund. It is totally risk free. This arrangement is
known to you, my brother (who is contacting you and I
only. This means that my brother will deal directly
with you as surveillance is on me. My brother' name is
JIMOH MOHAMMED.
You are entitled to 15% of the total sum. I hope to
invest a proportion of the balance in your country.
Please forward your private Telephone and Fax numbers
so that we can fully commence communication
immediately.
I will quite appreciate, if you accept my
proposal in good faith. I look forward to receiving
your urgent reply to my plea.
Yours truly,
Hajia Mariam Abacha
Note: I am sending this mail from my son's email address
for security reasons. My son will immediately respond to
your response to my mail. And I have deliberately mail to
you in this manner(that is from and to my email address).
for confidential purpose. This mail is meant for you.It is
not by mistake.

valuable goods conssignments through a diplomatic
courier services to their adhoc offices. The

DR. (MRS.) MARIAM ABACHA,
FORMER FIRST LADY FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
Dear Sir,
I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife of the Late Nigerian
Head of State, Gereral Sani Abacha who died on 8th of
June 1998 while still on duty. I am contacting you in
view of the fact we will be of great assistance to
each other like wise developing a cordial buiness
relationship.
I currently have the sum of Fifty Million United
States Dollars (US$50,000,000) cash, which I intend to
use for investment purposes specifically in your
country. This money came as a payback contract deal
between my late husband and Russian firm on our
country's Multi-Billion Dollar Ajaokuta Steel Plant.
The Russian partner returned my husband's share of
US$50,000,000.00 USD after the death of my husband and
lodged it with a Security Company in Europe of which I
am the Beneficiary. Right now the new civilian
government have intensified their probe on my
husband's financial resources and they revoked our
licenses that allows us to own a financial and Oil
Company. I have since declared myself and my family
Bankruptcy. No record ever existed concerning the
money neither the money tranceable by the Government
because there is no documentation showing that we
received the money from the Russians.
Due to the current situation in the country and
government attitude towards my familly, it has become
guite impossible for me to make use of this money
within, and outside since my movement is restricted
by the government now. Thus I seek assistance to
transfer this money out of this security company in
Europe thruogh our family representative - BARRISTER
GEORGE A EKE (SAN) To enable us discuss in details
about this transaction please contact him on Fax No:
234 - 1 - 7596438 or E-mail: agaekesan@yahoo.com
WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO
I will transfer the ownership of the consingment /
boxes containing the cash to you and issue you a power
of attorney through my Lawyer. With these document you
will travel to Europe and claim the money as my proxy
from the Security Company. The entire operation is
risk free since itn is only you and me and my
Lawyer that knows the details of the money
After you must have taken the money to your country
where it is save my Lawyer will then meet you in your
country to use my share of the money for
investment.
Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to
transfer this fund, I propose a commission of 30%
(Thirty Persent) of the total sum to you for the
expected services and assistance.Your urgent respond
os highly needed so as to stop futher contact. All
correspondence must be by Fax No. 234 - 1 - 7596438 or

business transaction of immense magnitude.
My clients are interested in the transfer to and
subsequent investment in your country, a considerable
amount of funds, amounting to Millions of United
States of America Dollars (USA $). The above funds
arose from the over-invoicing of some supplies and oil
drilling works contracts, which have been executed and
concluded. The fund is therefore free for
transferoverseas.
If you are interested in this proposal, we will
require from you immediately the following
information:
The full name and address of beneficiary
(you or your company), your confidential telephone,
fax numbers and email address, all necessary
particulars of the bank
account where you wish the contract sum to be

From: "Benjamin Ojiani (rtd)" <bojiani2@yahoo.com>
I am General Benjamin Ojiani (RETIRED);
Residential Address-Plot 150 Wuse Zone 2, FCT, Abuja,
Nigeria.
I am contacting you courtesy of an address listing
which I obtained from your Embassy/High Commission in
Nigeria; THIS IS NOT A SPAM MAIL, and I appeal to you
to exercise a little patience and read through my
letter, and I guarantee you will not have wasted your
time.
As you are probably aware, Liberia, a West African
Territory was embroiled in a protracted civil war for
many years. This war of attrition eventually attracted
Worldwide attention because of the suffering of both
the many warring parties which constantly changed
alliances and allegiances, and the innocent civilian
refugees. There were allegations of much atrocities
committed and many human rights abuses
Nigeria, under the leadership of General Ibrahim
Badamosi Babangida (retired Head of State of Nigeria),
appealed to the United Nations for help. The later
encouraged Nigeria to mediate between the many
protagonists. Nigeria subsequently put together the
coalition of 16 member Economic Community of West
African States(ECOWAS), and the regional PEACE
KEEPING FORCE KNOWN AS ECOMOG was born!
I was privileged to be the first inaugural Nigerian
commander of the Peace keeping force, and I immediately
moved into the camp site at the outskirts of Monrovia,
the capital city of Liberia to take my command.
The peace keeping exercise was a total success , and
eventually the rebel, Samuel Doe was captured and the
many lesser war lords contained. Eventually Mr.
Charles Taylor, whose faction was recognized by ECOWAS
was helped to establish an acceptable Government;
peace was restored; and the rest is history.
During the final onslaught which resulted in the
capture of Samuel Doe, the campaign was meticulously
planned and executed flawlessly; Samuel Doe's
Headquarters was seized by my men, and much ammunition
as usual were recovered; However, 10 large trunk
boxes
were also recovered and I immediately ordered them
taken to my quarters because there were rampant cases
of pilfering and outright looting by the Soldiers (
the Soldiers came from different Countries and
sometimes discipline was hard).
When I examined the Trunk boxes, I got a shock! They
were stacked full of 100 Dollar bills! To my
inexperienced eye, I estimated that the boxes must
contain over 100 Million Dollars! I was faced with
an instant dilemmaI dared not declare this discovery
to the Military High command; the money would promptly
disappear into private pockets of the Military high
brassI immediately swore my ADC to secrecy and
decided to transport the boxes into Nigeria. I used my
powers to requisition a Hercules Military Transport
AirPlane under my Command and airlifted the boxes to
Abuja,Nigeria. Needless to say, Our Aircrafts and
military equipment/property do not undergo Customs
checks .
Accordingly I immediately took the trunk boxes and
deposited them in a safe deposit box belonging to
Bullion Security Company Nig. Ltd., located at Abuja.
Of course No one knows the content of these boxes and
I simply listed "VALUABLES" in the deposit form and I
paid the storage charge of 2,500.00 USD per annum.
The date was 15th January, 1991.
I deliberately waited for the right political climate
to move this money abroad for investment purposes. The
time is now right because a properly elected Civilian
Government is now in charge of Nigeria.
I need your help because I am a highly visible
personality, and any attempt by me to transfer this
money to a foreign Country will fail. Also the law in
Nigeria does not allow serving or retired Military
Personnel to own/operate foreign Bank Accounts in
their nameI have therefore thought out a perfect and
100% risk free method of transferring this money
abroad, with your help. It is simple.
(1)You will provide one or more Bank A/Cs into which
all the money will be wired
(2)The Bank of origin, that is the, FIRST BANK OF
NIGERIA,PLC
(http://www.fao.org/ag/ags/agsm/banks/nigfirst.htm) ,
where thewire transfer will be done will provide all
the paperwork documentation, including the certificate
of origin in order to avoid money laundering charges
by the RECEIVING BANK. This is vital to avoid the money
being seized by Government Agencies on arrival at your
Bank Accounts).. Also in view of the unfortunate
incident at New York and Washington in America, it is
vital that this money should not be seen as terrorist
money or as being transferred to terrorists
(3)You will then come to Nigeria for a 2 / 3 day
visit; on your arrival, we will then take the money to FIRST
BANK of NIGERIA PLC and wire the money to your Bank
ACCOUNT(S); My Banker has advised me that in
transferring large volume money, it is best to use
offshore (Bank Haven) Banks like the Cayman Islands
where the tax incidence is zero or negligible
(4) After the wiring of the money, I will travel with
you abroad to collect my share of the money which is
70%; You will keep 30% of the money for yourself.
(5)You will then help me to invest my share of the
money(This is optional and you are not obliged to
assist)
If you are interested in helping me, please reply
immediately, giving me your phone and fax numbers and
I will give you further details ; we will then
establish a game plan to achieve our aim. Please bear
in mind that as far as you are concerned, this
transaction IS NOT ILLEGAL and we will NOT ENTER INTO
ILLEGALITIES AT ANY STAGE OF THE TRANSACTION TO
TRANSFER THIS FORTUNE ABROAD; EVERYTHING WILL BE
TRANSPARENT AND PROPER, This is the word of a military
officer. Thank you,
Gen. Benjamin Ojiani

ATTN: MD/CEO
Dear sir,
I know that this letter may or may not come as surprise to you, but it is based
on the prevailing information I gathered about your organisation which is
directly in the line with my job for this reason, I have belief that you would
be able to execute a business presently at hand for our mutual benefit with the
hope that you will not impede the trust and confidence I am willing to repose in
you.
I work with an Ivoirien based public and international public relations firm
'JET SERVICE' I work in the corporate affairs department. While attending, a
business seminar held at Bouakè Cote d'Ivoire in July 2000. At this seminar I
was ntroduced to ALHAJI AU BOSTRA, the president of ENTRACO Sarl. ALHAJI
BOSTRA is an accomplished and widely known farmer in this part of the region. He
is a respected farmer with speciality in cattle farms and various other
agricultural produce for export. He has farms in different countries of West
Africa. But above all one of the greatest suppliers of cattle, beef and other
dairy products in this side of the coast. Realising my profession, ALHAJI
BOSTRA, took me into confidence to inform me of the enormous amount of money he
spends in purchasing of a particular, but very important medicine for his
cattle. He intimated me that he buys quantities of 200-250 cartons of this
product at a time for $5,000.00 per carton. He was curious if my organisation could
source a cheaper supplier for him given the recent trends of falls in the price of beef
in the world market which was affecting his business.
Anxiously at office, I discussed this matter with my Director, who decided to
handle the supply personally. We did a marked research and discovered that we
could obtain same product at a cheaper price in Europe at $ 2,000.00 USD per
carton, we immediately made a proposal to ENTRACO Sarl to make a supply to him
at $4,800.00 per carton for which he accepted. Owing to my role in the entire
arrangement, my director decided to give me 15% of whatever profit realised on
each supply ; I readily agreed. On the 25th of april 2000, the first supply of
120 carton were made to the ENTRACO Sarl company. My director practically forgot
our understanding when I questioned I was given a mere token of appreciation. In
trying to protest he threatened me with dismissal. I quickly tried to repair the
damage and maintain my civility but his elationship to me ceases to be cordial.
I was led to believe that business with ENTRACO sarl and himself ended in a
bitter note.
Only last week, I intercepted some mails from Entraco to my Director, I was
shocked to know that three additional upplies were made to ENTRACO Sarl before
the end of the last month for which he did not bother to inform me. This time
ENTRACO Sarl is requesting for supplies of 250 cartons of this substance because
of a suspected out brake among his cattle in Mali. He is requested that these
supplies be made within two weeks . Theses letters will never reach my
director's desk. Instead I called ALHAJI AU BOSTRA and convinced him that I can
arrange for an international supplier who can supply directly the same goods
at $4,400.00 USD per carton. But that he ALHAJI BOSTRA or
his representative will either go to country of supply to pay before receipt of
product. At this moment, ALHAJI BOSTRA, is awaiting directive from me and my
foreign contact as he has stopped all further dealing with my director for now.
If you can handle this project, please contact me immediately on the above
E-mail address for details on how to go about it and the negotiation on what is to be my commission.
Thank you and best regards.

ADRESS:NO,45 MANDELA AVENUE SANTON
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA,
Dear SIR/MADAM,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not know me personally. I am Wembe
Ngoma, the first son of Mr. Mkoni Mboma, who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I
got your contact through network online hence decided
to write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$20Million
(Twenty Million United States Dollars), in one of
the private security companies, as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to
avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This
amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new
farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform which
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
few black farmers.This resulted to the killing and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in
the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed
because of this land reformed Act for which my
father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family
who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
transfer my father's money to a
foreign country since the law of South Africa
prohibits refugees open any bank account or to be
involved in any financial transaction
througout the teritorial zones of South Africa. As
the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account
where this money could be transferred into without the
knowledge of my government who are bent on taking
everything . All i seek for is an honest
businessman, whom I can entrust my future and that of
my family , I must also let you know that this
transaction is 100%risk free. If you
accept to assist me and my family all I want from you
is for you to make arrangements and come to
Johannesburg - South Africa, so that you can help me
open a non-resident account in your name which will
aid us in transferring the money into any account you
will nominate overseas. This money I intend to use
for investmentand growth in your country.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to
have certain percentage of the money for nominating
your account for this transaction, Or you can go into
partnership with me for the proper profitable
investment of the money in your country. Whichever
the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have
also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of
expenses we might incure in the process of this
transaction. If you do not prefer a
partnership I am willing to give you 25% of the money
while the remaining 70% will remain for me and my
family.If you are realy capable and willing to assist
me please contact me immediately with the above
Tel,Fax or this e-mail address with which i have sent
you this message.Finally, please treat this matter as
urgent as possible, i'm in dire need to leave this
country soonest.Thanks for your mutual co-operation,
I expect your soonest response.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Wembe Ngoma.
(For the Family)

Dear Sir,
Following the sudden death of my husband General
Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria
in August 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 $700 Million dollars. And they are
not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your
contacts through my personal research, and out of
desperation decided to reach 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 my approach 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 40.3 million 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 mein 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

DEAR SIR,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT
I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigerian NationalPetroleum Corporation (NNPC). Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in NNPC by my committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M. This was done deliberately. The over-invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer this money which is in a Suspense Account with NNPC in any Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us.
For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 70% will be for me and my partners.
I would require the following:
1) Bankers Name and Address
2) Telephone and Fax Number of Bankers
3) Sort/ABA/Routing Number of Bankers
4) Account Number
5) Name of Beneficiary/Company Name /Address.
6) Telephone and Fax No. of Beneficiary
The above information would be used to make formal applications as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this nature described here, the assumption is that your
company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts.
We have strong and reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank Of Nigeria and Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security. We are civil servants and we will not wantto miss this opportunity.
Please contact me immediately through my above Direct Office Tel/Fax number 234-1-7746827, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, send the required documents
aforementioned herein without delay, as time is of the essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
CHIEF RAYMOND KUTI.

SIR,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL [STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL]
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on
behalf of myself and my colleagues.
Your particulars were given to me by a member of the
Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) who was at
the Federal Government Delegation to your country
during a trade exhibition. I have decided to seek a
confidential cooperation with you in the execution of
the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all
parties and hope you will keep it as top secret
because of the nature of this business.
Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I
work as a Director, Project Implementation and with
the cooperation of four other top officials, we have
in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling
Twenty-One Million, Three Hundred Thousand U. S.
Dollars (US$21,300,000.00) which we want to transfer
abroad with assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said fund on our
behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to
receive such funds. Moreso, we are handicapped in the
circumstances as the Nigerian Civil Service Code of
Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account
hence your importance in the whole transaction.
The amount represents the balance of the total
contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a
foreign contracting firm which we the officials
over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract
cost have been paid to the original contractor,
leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount
which we have in principles gotten approval to remit
by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to foreign bank account
you will provide by filing in an application through
the Federal Ministry of Justice for the transfer of
rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.
Since the new civilian government of my country is
determined to pay every foreign contractor all debts
owed so as to maintain good relationship with foreign
government and non-government financial agencies,
therefore we have decided to include our bills for
approvals with the cooperation of some officials from
the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank
of Nigeria (CBN). We are seeking your assistance in
providing a vital account or any virgin bank account
into which we can remit this money by acting as our
main partner and trustee. This we can do by swapping
of account and changing of beneficiary and other forms
of documentation upon application for claim to reflect
the payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of
you. This processes being pre-arranged with the
principal trustee of the original contractor and with
the consent of the original contractor.
I have the authority of my partners involved to
propose that should you be willing to assist us in the
transaction your share of the sum will be 30% of the
US$21.3 million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses.
The business itself is 100% safe, on your part
provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is
not a hindrance to the successful execution of this
transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and
hope that you will not disappoint me. Call or fax
your response on my direct Fax 234-1-7599167or Tel:234
802-303-5091 or 234-759-8357 to indicate your
willingness in assisting us.
Thanks for your cooperation.

DEAR FRIEND,
It is with heart full of hope that i write to seek
your help in the context below.
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha the wife of the former Nigeria
head of state late general Sani Abacha, whose sudden
death occurred on 8th of June 1998.
Having gotten your particulars from the family
catalogue, I have no doubt about your capacity and
good will to assist me in receiving into your custody
(for safety) the sum of US$35.5 MILLION, willed and
deposited in my favour by my late husband.
This money is currently kept in a trusted deposit
account with African Sub-Regional Finance and Security
Co.
As it is legally required, the asset of my late
husband is under the authority of our family lawyer.
Unfortunately,the new Democratic Government has on
assumption of office set up a panel of enquires to
probe the financial activities of my late
husband(former head of state)with a decision to freeze
all his assets.
The investigatoin teams have submitted their reports,
presently some cash and assets have been frozen and
seized.
Fortunately, with our family lawyers assistance we
secretly protect the personal will of my husband from
the notice of the investigators and have strictly
advised that the willed money be urgently moved into
an overseas account of a trusted foreigner without
delay for security reasons.
The government has long time ago placed foreign travel
embargo on all our family members and seized our
international passports and all our local and
international business outfits. The situation has been
so terrible that we are virtually living on the
assistance of well wishers.
In view of this plight therefore,i expect you to be
trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this call to
save my children and me from a hopeless future by
assisting me in receiving this money into your
overseas account for safe keeping until our
international passports are released to us after the
investigation is concluded.
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid
effort in this regards with 20% of the fund when
finally received in your bank account. 5% is maped out
for expenses incured during the transaction.
Our attorney has perfected arrangement with the
financial security company to effect complete
dislodgement of this money within a week of the
receipt of your response. They have equally gurranteed
100% smooth transfer.
Please contact me with the above email address for
security reasons for onward transaction with the
family lawyers.
I look forward to your quick response, May Almighty
Allah Bless You.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Marriam Abacha. (bereaved)
