ABACHA'S FAMILY ESTATE

(ESTATE DEVELOPERS & CONSULTANTS)

Dear Sir,

It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your

co-operation and assistance in the context stated

below:

May I first introduce my self as Dr. Mrs. Mariam

Abacha, the wife of Late General Sani Abacha (former

military head of state and president of the Federal

Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June

1998. I came in contact with your particulars through

a consultancy dairy in which your particulars were

recommended to my late husband for proposals which was

disorganised by the sudden death of my husband. Having

noted the confidence reposed on your person by the

sponsor of the recommendation, I became convinced of

your capability and goodwill to assist me in receiving

the sum of US$20 Million secretly willed in my favour

by the late general (my husband).

This money is kept outside security company in Amsterdam Holland and

i have all documents weth me of where we deposited US$20m

(twenty Million United States Dollars) in a security vault for safe

keeping.

This money has been defaced for security reasons and also to avoid it

been

spent by unauthorized persons.

Since, we have been deliberating on how to invest this fund abroad in

a

confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to use it to buy

houses

and part of it will be used for safe and non-speculative investments in

your

country . however, the current civilian

administration of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo

(the 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. In pursuit of this vendetta, the present

government have resolved to freeze all known assets of

General Sani Abacha, including properties at home and

abroad and are presently embarking on to seize the

various bank accounts of my husband. In fact, the

attack on our family (The Abacha's) is so devastated

to an extent of seizing our travelling passport,

family accounts and even trying some members of our

family in court for offences allegedly committed by my

late husband.

In view of this grevious threat to our Economic and

personal survival, our family trustee have secretly

protected the will,The Security Company has called me

to do something about claiming this consignment because of the

demurrage it is incurring and i told them we would come and claim it

very

soon. but seriously advised me to move

$20 Million US Dollars into an overseas amount, hence

the reason why I have chosen you and hope that you

will come to my full assistance and unlimited

co-operation.

In the meantime, there is a travelling embargo on us

(the whole family members) and our local accounts are

seized. We are currently living on goodwill of people

who believe we cannot be held responsible for the sins

of my late husband. In view of this plight, I expect

you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to

this distressed call to save me and my children from a

hopeless future. And if you agree to compensate you

sincerely and candid effort in this regard with 25% of

the total amount of $20 Million US Dollars. In that

case, when the money ($20 Million) is moved into your

discrete account, you will be allowed to draw 25% in

your favour,while five percent will be for the expenses

incurred on both sides while the remaining 70% will be invested

meaningfully for my children's future. My cousin (Dr.

TONY .M. Abacha) has perfected arrangements with the

Trust Company concerned and has assured 100% risk free

and safe operation.

And in due course, all contacts must be made through

Dr TONY M Abacha, this E-mail address

I look forward to your quick response while thanking

you for your co-operation. In view of all above

details, I request you to keep this letter and

co-operation highly confidential.

Best wishes,

MRS. MARIAM ABACHA."

Sounds like an airtight plan to me..

Now what are you supposed to do exactly to get the 25% of the 20 million US dollars? Do you just say out loud OK or I ACCEPT or what?
