My Beloved,

Reply back to me Via this my direct email Address:
[email protected]

I am really very sorry for the embarrassment of intruding into your
privacy especially as we have not had previous correspondences before
this mail.I have been searching for a high profile international
business man or woman that can help me to secure and manage my funds.

I am Dr.Mrs. Maryam Abacha wife of Late Gen. Sanni Abacha, ex-military
Head of State (Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died of heart problem
while still on active service .I am contacting you in view of the fact
that we will be of great assistance to each other especially in the
area of developing a cordial business relationship and also because of
my need to deal with persons with whom I have not had any dealings
with before due to the privacy and highly confidentiality the business
I need your assistance demands.

Since the death of my husband, I have been subjected to all sorts of
harassment’s, intimidation’s and inhumane treatments, with negative
reports emanating from the government and the press regarding my
husband’s past military regime and my eldest son Mohammed who has been
held by  government and released just some months back is being asked
to refund $1.2 billion dollars and he is still being arraigned before
the federal high court of Nigeria till date.

I have been thrown into a state of 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.As a widow that is so traumatizing for me,
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 outright blackmail.

Moreover, they are relenting to make me poor for life but Insha Allah
they will not succeed.I got your contacts through my personal
research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this
medium. Most of our trusted Associates betrayed us because of
Ministerial Jobs and Appointments. I currently have within my reach
the sum $230,000,000.00 (Two hundred and thirty million us dollars
cash.) which we intend to use for investment purposes like real estate
development, bonded securities as well as some other viable business
ventures abroad that I can be introduced to if the arises.

After our Government had seized virtually all our assets, this money
came as my last hope, a payback contract deal between my late husband
and a Russian Firm relating to our country’s multi-billion dollar
Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian partners returned my husbands
benevolence and kindness to
them by sending my late husbands share of this stated amount after his
death, they carefully lodged it into a security vault in Africa
country withheld for security reasons in accordance to my instructions
as the next of kin to my late husband.

The good thing about this arrangement is that no record ever existed
concerning the money traceable by the government because there is no
documentation showing that we received this money from our Russian
business partners and also it has no illegal association with nobody
here in Nigeria.

Even the security firm where the funds were deposited does not know
the contents to be money as I carefully instructed the Director of the
Russian firm to make the deposit and declare the consignment to
contain just FAMILY VALUABLES FOR THE ABACHA FAMILY MEANT FOR A
FOREIGN BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.

Due to the situation in our country concerning government attitude
towards my family and our assets, it has become quite impossible for
me to make use of the money within and outside our country without
raising eyebrows, that is why I need your assistance as a neutral
individual and a foreigner to help us arrange for the investment and
handling of this said funds.

I will need you to contact me strictly by this private confidential
email address so that we can talk about this and plan about the
possible claim and transfer of the consignment into your name as my
family foreign business partner who will claim the consignment.

As soon a I receive a word from you, I will give you further proof of
the deposit details so that we can know how to move further for the
claim. You can make further confirmations to this through this
reference:

The last transfer of Twenty one Million United States Dollars
(US$21,000,000) I made into a friend’s foreign account in Europe,
after the successful transfer, my friend denied me because of my
restricted movement within and outside Nigeria. This is the main point
why I needed your help. We have lost so much trying to make transfers
through some of my husband’s associates who at last failed us and
disappeared into thin air,  This fund is considered as the main
source of my family’s future hope. I hereby use this opportunity to
implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence and keep this matter
extra ordinarily confidential. Remember to include your direct private
email and cell phone.

I wait patiently for your response.
Yours truly,
Hajia (Mrs.) Maryam Abacha.
