To: [email protected] From: "Good Allah" <[email protected]> | This is spam | Add to Address Book Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 15:51:18 +0200 My Dear Please I have been trying to call you on phone but it not going through. I am begging you with the name of Almighty God to assist me claim my money. I am presently in house arrest but my lawyer will send you all the documents and pictures of the box containing the $50m. l am DR. MRS MARIAM ABACHA, wife of the late Nigeria Head of State, General Sanni Abacha who died on the 8th of June, 1998 while still on active duty. This money came as a payback contract deal between my late husband and a Russian Firm on our countries multi-billion dollars Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian Parters returned my husband's share of USD$50,000,000.00 after the death of my husband and lodged in my husband's security company of which l am director right now, the new Civilian Government have intensified their probe on my husband's financial and oil company. ln view of these, l acted fast to withdraw the US$50,000,000.00 from the company's vault and deposited it in a Security Company . l have since declared the Security Company bankrupt. No record ever existed concerning the money traceable by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received the money from the Russian. Due to the current situation int the country concerning government attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money within. Let me refer you to the front page of this day newspapers of 10th March, 2001. You can check it through their website www.thisdayonline.com. The pressent government in Nigeria had frozen and seized all our bank accounts both here in Nigeria and abroad. Thus consent l shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss in detail about this transaction. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, l proposed a percentage of 30% of the total sum to you for the expected service and assistance, 15% for offsetting minor expenses incurred in the course of this transaction. Your urgent response is highly needed as to stop further contacts. All correspondence must be by the email address above. NB: Because of the security being mounted on the members of my family, l have decided that this transaction exist between you and my lawyer. Remember to include your private tel/fax or mobile number for easy communication. Best Thanks and Regards. DR. (MRS) MARIAM ABACHA |
