YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED.

Dear Friend, 
 
It is with a heart full of hope that I write to seek your help in respect of the
 context below. I am Mrs. Marriam Abacha the former first lady of the former Mil
itary Head of State of Nigeria General Sani Abacha whose sudden death occurred o
n 8th of June 1998 as a result of cardiac arrest (heart attack) while on the sea
t of power. 
I have no doubt about your capability and good-will to assist me in receiving in
to your custody (for safety) the sum of US$25 Million willed and deposited in my
 favour by my late husband in a security and deposit company. Though my contact 
to you for this assistance is not anchored on any personal ecommendation, I pray
 your understanding, good will and sincere assistance to respond to this message
 with honest intensions and concern. 

This money is currently deposited here with a security company as miscellaneous 
awaiting collection and according to the agreement entered into at the time of d
eposit between my late husband and the Security Company at the time of deposit; 
the collection centre is in London. As it is legally required, the administratio
n of my late husband's properties is under the authority of the family's lawyer.
 Barrister Tony Musa.
 
My Dear JK, since the demise of my husband, the present regime has been probing 
my late husband's wealth and properties, the African Newsweek of 13th march 2000
 referred. The investigating team led by Enrico Monfrini, the lawyer acting on b
ehalf of the Nigerian government has so far submitted their report and presently
, some liquid cash and assets, movable and immovable, have been frozen and seize
d both locally here and internationally and my last hope is rested on the immedi
ate security of this fund in your custody.

 Also, the lawyer who defended OJ Simpson, has been brought in by the Abacha ent
ourage to help them retain the disputed funds. Fortunately, our family lawyer ha
d secretly protected the "Personal will" of my husband from the notice of the in
vestigators and have strictly advised that the willed money be urgently moved in
to an overseas account of Trusted Foreign family friend without delay. For secur
ity reasons and further advise,! no relations or friends of ours should be used;
 as this is a measure of security. The government had earlier placed foreign tra
vel embargo on all our family members and seized all known local and Internation
al outfits of our business empire. 

The situation has been so terrible that we are virtually living on the assistanc
e of well-wishers. In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and ki
nd enough to respond to this "SOS" call to save my children and I from a hopeles
s future. 
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid effort, immensely, which wi
ll be discussed between you, the Attorney and I. On your immediate response, the
 Attorney will travel to London where both of you will meet, and thereafter proc
eed to the deposit company for the claims. 
The documentations include, most importantly, Power of Attorney and Certificate 
of Deposit amongst few others. These documents will be sent to you by Fax, as yo
u would have to present them for proper claims. 
Please, be rest assured that this transaction is completely safe and legal but m
ust be kept strictly to yourself even after the funds have been secured into our
 custody. This is so because any leakage of information could ruin the whole tra
nsaction. 

Please all contacts must be made through my lawyer on his telephone: 23480551329
04 email: tonymusa@lawyer.com This has to be so as he has been mandated to handl
e this matter and I have fully briefed him (my Attorney) on my contact to you. D
ue to my present circumstance, I have handed everything over to him to co - ordi
nate and finalize with you and I will communicate you as at when necessary. Plea
se for the safety of this transaction, reply stating your phone and fax numbers 
to enable them contact you directly without running the risk of mail interceptio
n. 
I look forward to your quick response. 
Best Wishes, 
Mrs. Maryam Abacha
