Dear Beloved,

 It is with hope that I write to seek your help in the
context below. I am Hajia Mariam Abacha, wife of
NigeriaÂ?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
husbandÂ?s property is under the authority of the
familyÂ?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 to stay 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 smooth transfer. 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.
contact me back first through this my alternative email
 address only( [email-masked])

Regards,
 Hajia Mariam Abacha
