Having known you to be a reputable,relaible partner. Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the – late former head of state of Nigeria in August 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 offernce 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 outright blackmail. In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700. Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I will give you more information as to this regard when you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot avoid 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 40.3 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now until we open cmunication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son Mustapha alone,so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being. I am seriously considering to re-marry if you desire as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all over again with you if only you wish, but if don‘t want to marry me just help me in diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund . Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence communication immediately and I will give you a more detailed picture of things. In case you don‘t accept please don‘t let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action,through this e-mail address which is aba_mariam777@yahoo.com. May the almighty Allah bless you . Yours faithful,loyal partner, Hajia Mariam Abacha
