Dear Friend It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below: May I first introduce myself: I am Mohammed Abacha,the eldest son of Late General Sani Abacha (former Military head of state and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June 1998. I got your contact through the help of a friend that works with the Chambers of Commerce and Tourrism, I did not disclose to him my humble intention for a honest foreigner who will help save our family`s life. Having noted the confidence reposed on your person by the sponsor of the recommendation, I became convinced
of your capability and goodwill to assist me in receiving the sum of US$100Million secretly willed in my favour by my late father. This money was kept with a discreet Security Company around the globe which will be disclosed as soon as i am rest assured of your seriousness and I have all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for safe keeping. We have been deliberating on how to invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to use it to buy estates and part of it will be used for non-speculative investments in your country. However,the current civilian administration of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo(The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) is seeking vengeance on the Abacha family because of the life prison jail sentence confirmed on him by my late Father while in office. In pursuit of this vendetta,the present Government have resolved to freeze all known assets of General Sani Abacha including properties at home and abroad and are presently embarking on to seize the various bank accounts of my father in Switzerland,UK and Australia. In fact, the attack on our family (The Abacha's) is so devastated to an extent of seizing our travelling passport, family accounts and even trying some members of our family in court for offences allegedly committed by my late father. I was released from prison on the agreement to refund $1.5 Billion to the Federal Government of Nigeria allegedly stolen by my late father. You can find this on www.allafrica.com/stories/200203180074.html http://allafrica.com/stories/200010230279.html http://www.lagos-online.com/fg_details_loot_from_abacha.htm> We are not ready to comply to this as most of the family assets and bank accounts abroad have been Freezen by the Obasanjo regime. In view of this grevious threat to our Economic and personal survival, our family trustee have secretly protected the will,The Security Company has called me to do something about claiming this consignment because of the demurrage it is incurring and I told them we would come and claim it very soon but they seriously advised me to move the fund into an overseas account, hence the reason why I have chosen you and hope that you will come to my full assistance and unlimited co-operation. In the meantime,there is a travelling embargo on the family members and our local accounts are seized. We are currently living on goodwill of people who believe we cannot be held responsible for the sins of my late father. In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this distressed call to save our family from a hopeless future. And if you agree to help, we will compensate you sincerely for your candid effort in this regard with 15% of the total amount of $100 Million US Dollars. In that case, when the money ($100 Million) is moved into your discrete account, you will be allowed to withdraw 20% in your favour, while 5% has been set aside for any expenses you might incure (There are demurrage to be payed by you before the fund is sign and released to you)during the process of securing this fund.And this is one of the reasons why i demand your assistnce. The remaining 75% will be invested meaningfully for our family future. I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation. In view of all above details, I request you to keep this letter and co-operation highly confidential even if you are not interested. Best wishes, Mohammed Abacha
