My dear Friend ,
I have the honor, with utmost good faith do appeal
to you sincerely to render me an assistance by way of supporting
me to bring over to your country the sum of United States Dollars,
Three Million, two hundred thousand United States Dollars. (US$3.2M).
The volume of money is presently available in cash and deposited
with Global Security Company. South Africa with deposit
Certificate Number CXB50. This was part of the money
that our Late Father, Nigerian Ex-Military Head of State
- General Sani Abacha, concealed in his private warehouse.
Several of our family bank accounts have already been frozen both
locally and internationally. The fund was concealed
and conveyed to Canada by the Security firm that facilitated my
escape from Nigeria to the United Kingdom. The present Democratic
Government in Nigeria is trying to arrest me, my elder brother,
Mohammed has been arrested and he is currently undergoing court
trial.
SHARE.
1 30% FOR YOU .
2 10% FOR EXPENSES INCURED DURING THE TRANSACTION.
3 60% FOR US.
As at the time of writing this letter, a report was being aired
by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) World Service, that
another of my father's bank account with Swiss Bank has been frozened.
This amount brings to US$650,000,000.00 of his money already frozen
in Swiss Bank alone.
I was also able to escape with particulars of his other accounts
in Brazil, Greece, Libya and Bahamas.
I will give you details on how we can retrieve or re-transfer
the funds as I am armed with all the information that will enable
us to do that.
Upon the claim of the funds, I would like that your esteemed firm
to invest the funds in projects that cannot be traced to my family. Immediately
upon your response, indicating your willingness to assist
me on the above, I will file an application through my lawyer transferring
the deeds of ownership to you as the beneficiary.
I await your urgent response via email.
Best regards,
MUSA ABACHA

Dear Sir,
This letter was borne out of my sincere desire to establish business/mutual
relationship with you.
My name is Mr. Fred Kunte, the son of Chief Bature Kunte
(the former deputy minister of finance under the ousted civilian
government) who was killed and mutilated by the military
junta led by Major Paul Koroma after over-throwing the elected
government of President Tijan Kabba.
Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events
and disturbances In Sierra Leone but the pressure of war drove
me and my mother out of Sierra-Leone into exile
in UK where we have been living under political asylum for 3 years.
Sadly, my mother died of cancer 3 months ago and was buried in
London. Prior to her death, she handed me over a certificate meant
for a secret deposit which my father made in a
security company abroad.
The Deposit that worth US$25,000,000.00 (twenty-five million united
states dollars only) was money paid to his corporation by its overseas
company in the heat of the conflict. He made this savings on his
name with the hope of converting it to his personal use, at the
end of the war; but was killed when the conflict intensified as
a result of his opposition to the rebel forces.
I have contacted the security company to confirm the deposit and
establish ownership. Due to the death of my mother and the return
of peace in Sierra-Leone, I have decided to solicit for
the participation of an honest and trust worthy person or company that
will assist in the transfer and business re-investment of the money.
I can not do it alone due to my present social status
and total ignorance of the business world. You will
be given a negotiable percentage at the end of the transaction.
If you are interested in the above proposal, contact me immediately
through this e-mail address for more details. You must maintain
absolute confidentiality to ensure success. Please, indicate
your personal Tel/Fax nos. when replying.
Best Regards.

The Director,
Dear Sir,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I got your contact from an international business directories in
my quest to contact a trusted foreign partner who I will transact
this business with.
I am writing this letter to you on the believe that you will be
of great assistance to my family and I. It needs an utmost secrecy
and honesty on your part in the sense that this is a business proposal
whereby we need your assistance as a foreigner/businessman. My
name is Idris the son of Gen. Musa Yaradua former Chief of Army
Staff, Nigeria Army who died on November, 1997 while in
detention over an alleged coup plot against the government in 1995.
It was a set up the military junta due to my father's involvement
in pro-Democracy activities in my country as he wants civil rule
in Nigeria as is a popular demand of the citizens, however, before
his untimely death, we the family members were not allowed to see
him until he was seriously ill and was taken to a University Teaching
Hospital in the Eastern part of the Country.
When I visited him at the hospital, he drew my attention
to his underground safe in our family house where he
kept a total cash money of Thirty Eight Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars (US$38,500,000.00). His words
were "my son, take this money, help yourself and my family
for this is the only thing left for me which I have kept
without the knowledge of the government as you know
every other thing have been confiscated by the military junta
Gen. Sani Abacha. My son, do not invest this money in Nigeria,
seek for a trusted foreigner who will help you move this money
off Nigeria for good investment because Nigerian is politically
and economically unstable.
Sir, I believe I can do this transaction with you as I just left
the University with no experience in International Business. Therefore I
seek your help as a God fearing businessman to help me
move this fund outside Nigeria as I will register this fund in
your name as the beneficiary of the inherited money in the security
company that transports foreign VIP Baggage out of the Country
by diplomatic means, so that it can be moved out of Nigeria
for safe keeping.
I have met with my Dads friend who is a diplomat with contacts
in Ghana/Abidjan-Cote D Ivoire two West African Countries and some
European Countries who had promised to move the fund cash to either
of the countries through diplomatic immunity and as soon as the
fund is moved, to would be delivered by the security company to
a bank in the country of our choice with a special beneficiary
tag, preparatory to your arrival and the arrival of your Nigerian
agents as the foreign beneficiary must have an African
representative as one of the security company's condition to
work for any foreigner, also the agent serves as identification
for claiming the baggages, in this sense, I stand as your Nigerian
Agent.
Finally, I have discussed with my family and have decided to offer
you 20% of the sum for your assistance because the money would
be released to you in my presence on arrival to the country we
choose also 5% of the fund would go to a charity organisation
like UNICEF and other Charity Home, 5% would be set aside
to off set all expense that might be incurred in the transaction
by both parties while 70% would be retained by my family which
would be invested with your assistance in your country.
So let me have your immediate response towards actualization of
this objective through Tel/Fax: 234-1-7745374 as the democratic
government in Nigeria has made the situation conducive for the
fund to move out.
Best regards.
PRINCE IDRIS YARADUA.

Your Money Is Gone
Phil Tourret in France sends us the initial email plus a follow-up
reply 08 May 2001.
Assalamu-alaikum,
I am contacting you on behalf of my family, and l strongly solicit
your assistance in the name of the Almighty Allah. I got your contact
from a search into the Internet and opted for it as a result of
my interest in your business activities.
I am Abba Abacha, son of the late General Sani Abacha,
a past Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Since my father's death, my entire family has been under immense
pressure from the present Government of Nigeria, to make available
the funds in my father's possession. As a result of this, my
family has lost over US$775,000,000.00, which my father left
behind for his family.
Immediately after my father's internment, my mother made numerous
attempts to travel out of the country with the funds my father
kept in his country home in Kano, but all her efforts were frustrated
by the government of the day. This gave my mother a lot of psychological
problems. As a result of these foiled attempts, l decided to tactically
move some of the funds to a neighboring country and purchased
TREASURY BILLS with it in the name of a fictitious company I
set up for the purpose: this l succeeded in doing without the knowledge
of my country's Government. The BILLS are in a total amount of
US$60,000,000.00(Sixty million United States dollars only) and
presently kept in a security firm.
Right now, I intend to convert the BILLS to cash through a national
bank and transfer the proceeds into the account of any beneficiary
of my choice. All modalities to successfully achieve this have
been put in place. To enable us commence in earnest, I need the
assistance of a foreign partner with a credible banking facility
to carryout the transaction and receive the proceeds from the BILLS
in a correspondent payment center to the national bank in Europe.
I appeal to you in the name of almighty Allah, the beneficent
and the merciful, to sincerely and honestly render us this assistance. l
know you would wonder why l am not soliciting for assistance
from well-placed Nigerians, it's really sad. You see, all my
late father's friends whom we have asked for assistance absconded
with our money. Deceit, fraud and letter scam is the
order of the day in Nigeria. This disgraceful act by
Nigerians has made it necessary for us to seek foreign assistance
At the moment, I cannot travel out of the country to receive the
payment due, because my country's Government is holding on to my
International Passport. It is in view of this, l have decided to
solicit your assistance. All the same, I would be sending somebody
down, so that both of you can work on the process of dispensing
the funds at the time and place of payment.
Please, we implore you to treat this project with utmost confidentiality,
as we would not want our family name in further trouble. As I thread
the parts of success, Insha-Allah, I hope that my aspiration on
you becomes a reality. I look forward to an early response.
Kindly call me on receipt of this message or send a mail for more
details.
Due to security reasons, when you call, do not ask for any name,
simply ask the recipient person to reconfirm the telephone number.
Once I reconfirm my number to be 234-1-7593507, you can then mention
the person you intend to speak with before you go into any discussion.
If I fail to reply correctly, do not wait for a second trial, just
drop the phone and call back later.
WA-salaam,
Abba Sani Abacha
Assalamu- Alaikum,
I thank you very much for your kind response and preparedness
to join me in resolving the present financial crisis of my entire
family. There is no way I can possibly reward you, irrespective
of what I offer to you but My prayer is for the Almighty
Allah to reward you immensely for your kindness and may you never
lack in your areas of need.
The truth is that I have never met you or knew you before as a
person but due to the urgency and confidentiality required to finalize
this transaction, I have decided to gamble on you, especially when
there is no time to start scouting for the angel but that should
not devoid me of constant prayers so that the devil does not set
in. one thing I want you to realize is that even though I do not
know you in person, the God that we both serve surely do. So, I
want you to help me with your true mind and if you know that you
really cannot, please let me know before we go too far.
I have to complete this transaction very quickly to save my mother
from her psychiatric ailment, due to the calamities that has been
happening to us. Just before father died, IBRAHIM, my eldest brother
died in a plane crash and since his death we have suffered tremendously
from the victimization of the present administration over the money
they claimed is in my fathers possession. Up till now you would
not believe that my older brother Mohammed is still in detention
without trial over alleged abuse of human rights. Even if my father
did something wrong, why should we suffer for what we know nothing
about.
Well, I believe that the almighty Allah would definitely see us
through because we are innocent. The only reason why the present
president is torturing my family is because my father jailed him
in his tenure for plotting a coup to over throw his government.
Off course, the military tribunal of which General Malu was the
head confirmed this. But the President has forgotten that he is
not God and that someday he will no longer be president.
Nevertheless, On full confirmation of your willingness to assist
me, I shall send you a copy of a letter of authority, which you
have to transcribe unto your company's letterheads, signed & sealed
and return to us immediately through email as attachment. It will
be safer to receive it through email due to the confidentiality
required. This letter would give the attorney the right to prepare
all legal documents required to create you as a beneficiary to
the Bills and also act on your behalf as a legal representative
in any area of negotiations.
On receipt of the endorsed letter, the attorney shall prepare
a deed of transfer to show the transfer of ownership of the Bills
from the company (INPEX TRADING INC.), I used
in the purchasing and lodging the bills to the company name you
shall provide. This will automatically create you as the beneficiary
to the bills. Once this has been successfully put in place, the
process to convert the bills to cash will be implemented. All acquired
documents shall be sent to you via fax for perusal and to give
you an understanding of what is going on.
Nevertheless, the attorney has already finalized arrangements
with DR RASHEED MOHAMMED, the director of the foreign
remittance of our apex bank, on how the bills will be
converted to cash. We decided to transact the business in Nigeria
because of the attorney's relationship with Dr Rasheed but did
not disclose the true source of the bills to him. Since you will
be created as the beneficiary to the bills before approaching Rasheed
with the actual transaction, he will see you as the sole beneficiary.
In this case, we would not be exposing any details to him.
Meanwhile, according to Rasheed, he would be able to accept the
bills for a trade in, on behalf of the bank with his position.
As soon as this is accomplished, the bank will confirm the authenticity
of the bills and officially contact you to give you details of
the modalities they have employed to pay you.
To enable us commence with the above procedure, kindly re-affirm
your willingness to assist me fully, so that I can send you the
letter of authority you would endorse and return back to us for
the attorney to proceed at once. More so, endeavor to send you
direct fax and telephone numbers should we need to send you any
documents or call you as a matter of urgency.
For your entire assistance, I am ready to give you as much as
30% after you have received the total funds due on the bills.
Please, call me on my private phone, 234-1-7593507 for more clarifications
and updates. Due to security reasons, when you call, do not ask
for any name, simply ask the recipient person to reconfirm the
telephone number. Once I reconfirm my number to be 234-1-7593507,
you can then mention the person you intend to speak with before
you go into any discussion. If I fail to reply correctly, do not
wait for a second trial, just drop the phone and call back later.

CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is USMAN ABACHA, I am the second son of the late head
of state of Nigeria General Sanni Abacha who died on the 8th
of June 1998. I am writing you this letter with all hope and courage
from Almighty God that you will be able to help my family and meddling
this hour of need and persecution.
During my late fathers regime, my elder brother Mohammed Abacha
was given a lot of contracts to execute by various ministries,
which he successfully completed, and the contract value paid to
him accordingly. We are therefore very surprised that at the death
of my father, his political enemies and even those who benefited
immensely from my father has all abandoned us. My senior brother
Mohammed made a lot of money during my fathers regime for which
he is presently facing trial in Lagos, Nigeria.
Already, we have forfeited some money which was transferred through
the Central Bank of Nigeria because of the records of the transactions
at that time, but during that same period, about $700 million dollars
cash was given to him by my father to keep and he was able to move
about $50 million through diplomatic immunity baggage system with
presidential plane to an undisclosed location abroad for
safe keeping in a finance deposit company.
I am now writing you this letter and soliciting your assistance
to enable us retrieve these money knowing fully well that there
is no banking record of it, no risk involved but due to our
restricted movement and lack of money for my family, I
would want you to present yourself as the beneficiary of
the money with the password which I will give
to you since my brother has revealed that to me. You will
be entitled to 15% of the total sum, as your share while 80% will
be for us. The remaining 5% is to cover all expenses that you might
incur in the course of the transaction.
I will stop here for now. If you are interested please send me
an email for detailed explanation and further discussion. Also
include your telephone and fax numbers. My telephone and fax numbers
shall be revealed to you once you indicate your interest. Please
if you are not in a position to assist us do let
us know.
May Allah bless you as you assist my family.
Yours faithfully,

Subject: URGENT HELP
Dear Sir
Kindly allow me the modesty of introducing myself. I am
TIJAN Sankoh,the son of former Vice President of Sierra Leone
Mr. Foday Sanko. I got your particulars
through a friend in South African Chamber of Commerce shortly
before Persona non-grate declaration was issued against my mother
Fatou Nbaye Sankoh and myself by the South African government
accusing us of engaging in activities contrary to the later and
spirit of efforts aimed at creating peace in Sierra Leone.
Although I did not disclose to the friend my reason of asking
about you and your business, however I am satisfied with comments
he made about your personality and company.
Hence, I am contacting you in order to ask for your assistance
on this confidential business proposal with full financial
benefit for both of us. Please be informed before I go
further herein that I am writing without any other person's pre-knowledge
of my contacting you on this transaction. Therefore I will appreciate
same attitude to be maintained all through.
I have the sum of US$55M from a secret sale of diamonds by
my father before he was abducted, which I would like you to receive
on my behalf due to security reasons, as my narration below will
explain. Before I continue be well informed that your share in
this transaction has been calculated at 15% of the total sum of
US$55M, 5% for expenses and 80% would be for purchases of houses,
where myself, younger ones and our mother would reside in order
to avoid further harassment and intimidation from President Tijan
Kabbah.
Our direct involvement may jeopardize the much-needed
success of the whole transaction, as our experience
in South Africa on the 29th May 2000 where we were given 24 hours
to leave has taught us a big lesson and subsequently, we would
always want to guide against any other embarrassment against
us in future.
Already the Sierra Leonia government has won the support of some
ECOWAS government on the campaign for the clamp down on our money
and private property. Already you might be aware that the OAU and
UN have authorized an international broker for the sales of diamond
from Sierra Leone because they believe that the rebels are using
the proceeds from the illegal diamond sale to fund the purchase
of ammunition for the war. They have earlier unjustly arrested
my father Foday Sankoh, former Vice President of Sierra Leone over
the attack on the UN peacekeepers in Sierra Leone.
Let me quickly assure you of the 100% safe proof of the transaction
because the diamond sales packaging deals from the onset were arranged
in a pattern that shows no direct trace or linkage with us (Sankoh
family). At present the money is secured in a Security
company as intellectual material in their vault. The intellectual
material will be released within 7 days of my being in receipt
of your reply via e-mail address above only for security reasons.
I am waiting anxiously for your swift and favorable response.
In case You have question(s), do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards
TIJAN Sankoh.

COTONOU, BENIN REPUBLIC
Dear sir,
It is my pleasure to introduce you a business that will mark
the beginning of a family relationship. I got your contact during
my search on a reliable person who will assist me and has the capability
to handle this project.
I am PRINCE BUKA EVLIS BUNDOR the rightful inheritor to
throne of late KING SANKOH AGOMAKA BUNDOR the XI of MENDE in
SIERRA LEONE. My father until his death was the
king of MENDE TRIBE IN SIERRA LEONE, a member of then ruling
cabinet of president AHMED TEJAN KABBAH, and also one
of the richest diamond dealers in Sierra Leone.
On the 31 of december 1998 (on new year eve) my father was murdered
by rebel forces on the accusation that he is in support of the
democratically elected PRESIDENT ALHADJI TEJAN KABBAH.
My Uncle who is a supporter of the rebel took over control of
leadership by force. Fortunately, I was not in the palace when
they raided. My father married 4 wives with 17 children. My father's
two wives, my six brothers and three sisters were murdered
in cold blood. My mother was spared because my uncle informed
them that she would lead them to me. However she was seriously
wounded on the 17th of April 1999, my mother was rescued
by the WEST AFRICAN PEACE KEEPING FORCES (ECOMOG).
Right now I am left with my mother, my step mother (first wife-
though no child) and my younger ones. Since the sudden death of
my father the family has being displaced and disorganised. On our
extensive search in the palace where my late father used to keep
his important things. We discovered two trunk boxes containing
US$22.5million cash.
Since then this place has been a serious war zone and my uncle
is still searching for me. I made arrangement with a private security
company in connection with ECOMOG to help me ferry the boxes out
of Sierra Leone to BENIN REPUBLIC. And quickly deposited
the money into a security company in COTONOU and instruct
them to transfer the money through their diplomatic courier service
to their branch office in SPAIN. For security reason I didn't disclose
to the security company the real contents of the boxes. Presently
now the money is been lodged in a security company in Spain. Please
we really need you to assist us to get this money
out from the security company.
Now we wish to commence business transaction with this fund and
do not have a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner to
offer me the necessary investment advice. It is
due to this reason that we have decided to contact an experienced
person of your caliber and if possible team up with you, for viable
business joint venture abroad.
For your assistance I have decided to bequest to you 30% of the
total sum involved and 10% for the total annual income of the investment.
Items of the things I want from you :
1) INVESTING MY MONEY IN A LUCRATIVE AND BLUE CHIP VENTURES THAT
YOU SHALL ADVICE IN YOUR COUNTRY
(2) GETTING AN ADMISSION FOR ME INTO A UNIVERSITY, SO THAT I CAN START
UP FROM WHERE I STOPPED MY EDUCATION IN YOUR COUNTRY
(3)GETTING RESIDENT PERMITS AND A HOUSE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY
(4) BANKING PART OF MY MONEY INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IN YOUR COUNTRY.
Please this is very urgent, as I want to hear from you immediately
you receive this mail, meanwhile treat this matter with absolute
confidentiality.
I am looking forward to your urgent reply. My regards to your
family.
Sincerely yours

Subject: YOUR ASSISTANCE NEEDED
I AM MAKING THIS CONTACT WITH PROFOUND INTEREST, HAVING
CONSIDERED YOU HIGHLY REPUTABLE AND CAPABLE OF ASSISTANCE TO MY UNDERSTATED
BUSINESS PROPOSAL AFTER GOING THROUGH A BRIEF PROFILE OF YOUR
COMPANY HERE IN THE GHANA TRADE AFFAIRS COMMISSION.
I AM OLIVER KABILA FROM THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
ZAIRE, SON OF LATE LAURENT M. KABILA, THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND
COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES REPUBLIC OF CONGO ZAIRE.
PRESENTLY TAKING REFUGE HERE IN GHANA AFTER THE SUDDEN DEMISE
OF MY FATHER, FOLLOWING HIS ASSASSINATION BY HIS PERSONAL BODY
GUARD ON THE 15TH JANUARY 2001.
ON TRUST AND IN UTMOST CONFIDENCE, I AM ESTABLISHING THIS
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU IN BENEVOLENT SPIRIT AS TO ENHANCE IMMEDIATE
RESOLUTION TO AN OPPORTUNITY RIGHTLY AT HAND.
IN A CLOSE DOOR MEETING HELD WITH MY FATHER BEFORE HIS SUDDEN
DEATH, HE DISCLOSED TO ME CERTAIN FACTS AND SECRETS ABOUT HIMSELF
AND THAT OF MY STEP-BROTHER GENERAL JOSEPH KABILA (I MEAN THE PRESENT
PRESIDENT OF MY COUNTRY).
CERTAIN DOCUMENTS WAS GIVEN TO ME THAT DAY BY MY FATHER
REGARDING WHICH HE DEPOSITED IN A PRIVATE VAULT OF A SECURITY
FIRM IN ACCRA-GHANA (WEST AFRICA). IN ADDITION, $168 MILLION
USA DOLLARS CASH IN TWO TRUNK BOXES ALSO IN THE
VAULT. THE $168 MILLION USD WAS TO BE USED TO WORK ON LEADERS OF
THE ECOWAS COMMUNITY, ENHANCING HIS FULL SUPPORT IN POWER BUT THIS
AIM WAS NOT ACHIEVED BEFORE HIS DEATH.
THE ISSUE OF THIS MONEY HAS BEEN A SECRET BETWEEN MY FATHER AND
I UNTIL HE DIED. THEREFORE, I AM TAKING THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ENRICH AND EQUIP MYSELF TO FACE MY SECRET AMBITION. AS NOBODY
CAN CONVINCE ME THAT MY STEP-BROTHER (JOSEPH) IS NOT BEHIND THE
DEATH OF MY FATHER.
I HAVE SINCE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SECURITY FIRM IN PURSUANCE
OF THE CLEARANCE OF THIS CONSIGNMENT AND I AM SO FAR ABLE TO CLARIFY/CERTIFY
ALL PAPERS WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY THROUGH AN ATTORNEY
WHO AS WELL DOES NOT KNOW THE TRUE CONTENT OF THE CONSIGNMENT.
BECAUSE MY FATHER DID NOT DECLARE THE CONTENT AS MONEY TO THE SECURITY
FIRM BUT PERSONAL EFFECTS.
ALL I NEED NOW IS A RELIABLE FOREIGN PARTNER WITH
WHOM I CAN CLEAR AND TRANSFER THIS MONEY ABROAD. I HAVE AGREED
TO GIVE A REASONABLE PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THIS CONSIGNMENT
AS YOUR SHARE. YOU MAY ASK IF I DON'T HAVE INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS
EVEN HERE IN GHANA TO ASSIST ME ON THIS ISSUE. THE ANSWER IS YES, BUT
I HAVE AN AMBITION RIGHT NOW AND WANT TO LIVE IN DISGUISE UNTIL
MY AMBITION IS FULFILLED.
I EXPECT YOUR KIND URGENT RESPONSE BY EMAIL TO ENABLE ME
FURNISH YOU WITH MORE DETAILS ON THIS BUSINESS.
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION.
OLIVER KABILA
NB: I SHALL COUNT ON YOUR INDULGENCE TO PLEASE KEEP THIS INFORMATION
VERY SECRET & CONFIDENTIAL. AND PLEASE, YOU SHOULD HENCEFORTH
ADDRESS ME AS THE MANAGER OF DAN COMPANY LTD. THAT IS WHAT
I AM NOW USING FOR SECURITY REASONS.
In The Name Of The Son

Attention: Ebrahim
I wish to seek your assistance in a matter that needs trust secrecy and
confidentiality. I am Mustapha Bagudu a close confidant to Mohammed
Abacha son of late General Sani Abacha former head of state
Federal republic of Nigeria, who ruled from November 17th 1993 to June
8th 1998 when he died suddenly in office.
Since then the family as a whole is now facing all sort of harassment,
by security operatives agents of the new head of state who served
jail term under my friend's father for coup offence. Even my
friend's old mother has been detained and tortured many
times, Mohammed is now being charged for military decision of his
fathers regime e.g. the murder cases of political opponents.
These offences he know nothing, as he was only the head of states
son, not even a military man nor was he in the government. His
father ruled for five years during which period he acquired financial
gains and property all over the world from his share of crude oil
sales as the head of state. They (the family) have lost all assets
(property and money in Nigeria to the new government. Ref news
watch magazine publication of 11th to 18th October 1999.
However they have hidden records in a secret name with
the Nigerian Insurance Deposit Corporation to access a coded
trust accounts in Europe and America valued at three
hundred and thirty eight million united states dollars only ($338,000,000).
Mohammed currently is being detained and tortured to sign off
accounts of his late father and he has done that but not the coded
trust accounts in the name of certain government multinational
contractors that I can not disclose now.
THE AIM OF THIS LETTER IS TO REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE TO
SECURE THIS ACCOUNT IN A SAFE/CONFIDENTIAL BANK AND HELP
INVEST THE MONEY FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT.
We also expect to use some of our share of the money to relocate
ourselves to another safe country because right now Nigeria is
not safe and we will like to go into hiding oversea if we can escape.
If you are interested in helping secure the accounts please contact
our family lawyer in confidence. He is Mr. J. B. Dauda (SAN) through
his email address: jbd_lawyer@yahoo.com who will arrange
an initial meeting for us in a neighboring country, thus
you can present your investment program and projects for our assessment.
Thereafter we will sign a memorandum of understanding
binding this business relationship and immediately entrust
you to access the coded trust accounts in Europe or
America valued at three hundred and thirty eight million united
states dollars only($338,000,000). We will depend on
your business experience to make sure that we get maximum
returns on our investment with you.
Just forward via email your data to the lawyer to enable us prepare
documents on your behalf as the new beneficiary, hence make formal
application for the transfer of ownership to you. We look forward
to your helping us.
Best Regard
For Mohammed Abacha
