From: Mariam Abacha Mrs.

Dear friend,

Compliment of the year. 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 to physical 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 firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many out rightly blackmailed   us.

Do visit these sites if you will;

I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you via mail to safe time since sending you letter via snail mail will take a longer time. I will give you more information as to this transaction as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you. Due to security network placed on my daily 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 $18million United States Dollars only with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping and investment purposes. This arrangement is known to you and my Lawyer alone, so my Lawyer will deal with you directly as I have been under house arrest and close watch for the past six years. I am seriously considering settling down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as I am able to secure my traveling papers again.

The trauma I and my family is presently going through under the  government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is just unbearable, I have written secret letters to human rights organization, N.G.Os and the civil right agency for help, but up till this very minute I have not received any help, apparently, I am sure that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is trying to take his pound of flesh back because my husband kept him in detention for three years for alleged coup plot.

Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I was able to  gather this amount from sales of franchise, gifts and non governmental  entrepreneurship when my husband was still the head of states prior to  his death, it is not looted fund, the money belongs to me.

I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence  communication immediately and I will give you more detailed information upon hearing from you. In case you don't accept please do not let me out to the security, as I am giving you this information in
total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my  proposal in good faith.

Thank you.
