Confidential

[Mrs Mariam Sani Abacha]

 Dear Sir,

It is with hope that I write to seek your help in the context below.
I am Hajia Mariam Abacha, wife of Nigeria’s former
head of state; Late General Sani Abacha, whose sudden
death occurred on the 8th of June 1998. Since my
husband died, I have been thrown into a state of utter
confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present
civilian administration. The security agents in the
country have subjected me to physical and psychological
torture. My son (Mohammed Abacha) 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 am hopeless with
my present faith. You must have heard over the media
reports on the recovery of various sums
of money deposited by my late husband with various
security firms. Some companies willingly gave up their
secret and disclosed our money confidently lodged
there, or many, outright blackmail. Infact the total
sum discovered by the government so far is in the tune
of $700 Million USD and they are not relenting to make
me poor for life. I came in contact with your name and
address through my personal research and would want to
have faith and confidence in you as I view you to be a
responsible personality.I have no doubt about your capacity
and goodwill to assist me in receiving into your custody
( for safety)the sum of $40.3 Million USD willed and deposited
safely in my favour by my late husband.

This money is currently kept in Safe Deposit Box (SDB)
at a security firm within Europe. As it is legally required,
the administration of my late husband’s property is under
the authority of the family’s Lawyer(Attorney)Barrister
Abdulrahman Bubatrafa(SAN).The investigative teams set up
by my government have submitted their report after freezing
almost all our account. Fortunately, our family lawyer had
secretly protected the personal will of my husband from the
notice of the investigators and have strictly advised
that the $40.3m USD be urgently moved to an overseas
account of any trust worthy but ANNONYMOUS foreign
family friend without delay, for security reasons.

All our traveling papers have been seized by the
government thereby preventing us from traveling and
all the local and international outfit of our business
empire seized. This sum of money is our only hope tostay alive.
I have therefore agreed to compensate your goodself
with 30% of the total deposit when you finally recieve
the deposit box from the security firm and its
contents safely lodged in your account. They
have equally guaranteed 100% risk-free and smoothtransfer.
If you are interested in assisting me,please reach me
immediately or send to me your confidential telephone and
fax number(s) so that I can reach you as soon as possible.

For obvious security reasons, it is imperative that
you keep all our communication very secret. Do not
mention my family,s name or disclose the transaction
to anybody. If you are not interested in assisting me,
still get in touch so that I can make alternative
arrangement as time is of the essence.Please do not
expose me to my government as i humbly solicit your kind
and prompt assisance.

Best Regards,
Hajia Mariam Abacha
