A CRY FOR HELP.

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 you 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 to rescue my family and I.

I have deposited the sum of $49,500,000.00(Forty Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars) in a security firm abroad whose name is withheld 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 son(MUSTAPHA ABACHA) and I only. This means that my son will deal directly with you as surveillance is on me.

You are entitled to 10%,negotiable though, 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.
