Yep. Those darn "Nigerians" are at it again!

ATTN: CEO/PRESIDENT.
l am sorry for the embarrassment this my letter might
cause you as we have not had any correspondence before
this letter. l got your address through my newphew who
works with Nigeria Chamber of Commerce lndustry and
Minning during my research for a reliable and
trustworthy partner who l can do business with though
l did not disclose the nature of the business l intend
to do with whoever he recommend for me.
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. l am
contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of
great assistance to each other likeness developing a
cordial relationship.
l currently have within my reach the sum of Eighteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars
(US$18,500,000.00) cash which l intend to use for
investment, like Real Estate Development specifically
in your country. 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$18,500,000.00 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$18,500,000.00 from the company's vault
and deposited it in a West African Security Company in
Accra-Ghana. 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. l will give you my tel/fax
numbers where you can contact me when l hear from you.
l must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise
the utmost indulgence to keep this matter
extraordinarily confidential whatever your decision
while await your prompt response.
Best Regards.
DR. (MRS) MARIAM ABACHA.
NB: Because of the security being mounted on the
members of my family, l have decided that this
transaction exist between you and my Attorney,
Barrister USMAN AHMED. Remember to include your
private tel/fax or mobile number for easy communication.
