Dear friend,

PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP AND BUSINESS INVESTMENT ADVICE. It gives me great pleasure to contact you, and I do hope this letter will not come to you as a surprise. I am Mrs Mariam . s. Abacha, (the former Nigeria Military president /Head of state) who died mysteriously as a result of heart attack in the year 1998. I decided to contact you so that we can arrange with you for favorable term of trade and possibility of moving some family funds, to your possession.Since the death of my husband, our family and closed friends have not been allowed to move freely by the present civilian government in Nigeria, because of the enemity that existed between the late Gen. Abacha and the present civilian president/Head of state of Nigeria. Consequently our joint bank accounts here in Nigeria and abroad has been frozen in a very wicked manner, since the government discovered the accounts.You may wish to know that right now our US645Million lodged with Swiss bank in Zurich and Geneva has been frozen since October 1999. Another huge amount of money with a bank in Luxembourg was blocked within April/may 2000.

We also lost another US100Million lodged with a bank in the small country of Liechtenstein. Our account with a Brazilian bank was frozen in 1999, another of our joint accounts in a Germany base bank account were all frozen in 1999.This has made our family to have lost over US$2Billion to the government.All these loses was mainly due to the fact that we mistakenly operated these account with Abacha's family names and with our personal business names which made it possible for them to locate our funds easily in those bank. For partnership purpose, we decided to contact you in confidence to inform you that we have in our possession the certificate of the deposit made by my late husband, which were funds that were secretly moved out of the country. These funds involve a total cash sum of US$32M (thirty two million united-state dollars only). which were hidden, and packaged in a metal box and the box are presently being kept with a security deposit house as family valuables and the certificate of deposit of the valuables is in our possession.

We are appealing for urgent assistance to move the fund to your country/private or company bank account or any country where you believe the fund will be safe.As soon as the fund is claimed,we will like to know how to arrange where Dr. Michael Ezeh will meet with you for the conclusion of the transaction. Please contact me on my personal email box= (mariam25mb@yahoo.ie) .Upon receipt of your response we will tell you how to recieve the fund and we shall arrange for a face-to-face meeting outside Nigeria with my confidential secretary/family business consultant (DR.Michael Ezeh) for a successful completion of the transaction. We have agreed to offer you 25% of the ($32,000,000 USD} thirty two million dollars for your immense assistance to us while you will hold 75% on TRUST for us as we would like to do good business investment in your Country and also invest in your company's lines of product/business.

Please you are required to treat this letter as very confidential as no other person knows about this money except me, my son (Mohammed) your very self and DR.Michael Ezeh. I look forward to your earliest reply through my email.May God bless you as you help us at this difficult time.

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs.Mariam.S.Abacha
