ATTN: Sir/Madam
Compliments of the day to you.
I am Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha GCFR), wife to the late Nigerian Head of
State, General Sanni Abacha, who died on the 8th of June, 1998 while still
on active duty. I am contacting you in confidence, and as a means of
developing a cordial and fruitful business relationship.
I currently have within my reach, the sum of Eighty million United States
Dollars, which I and my family intends to use for investment purposes
specifically in your country. This money came as a result of a payback
contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country’s
multi-Billion Dollar Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian’s returned my
husband’s share of US$80,000,000.00 after his death, and lodged it in my
late husband’s Security Company of which I am a Director. Right now, the new
civilian government has intensified their probe on this family’s financial
resources; frozen all our known foreign and local accounts, revoked our oil
licenses, and even detained my son (Mohammed) on alleged financial
misappropriation, pending the outcome of their investigations. In view of
these facts, I acted fast to withdraw the US$80,000,000.00 from the
company’s vault and deposited it in a privately owned security company
Europe of which I and my son alone know of its existence. I have since
declared the security company bankrupt. No record whatsoever exists
concerning this money traceable by the government, because there is no
documentation showing that we received the money from the Russians.
Due to the current situation in the country concerning government’s attitude
towards my family, it has become quite impossible for us to make use of this
money within. I thus wish to discretely transfer this money to your account
with your help, to be invested in your country (under your professional
guidance), and to help start operation in an Oil Refinery, which my Late
Husband built in Brazil before his death. I shall expect you to contact me
urgently to enable us discuss this transaction in details, I will like you
to view this website and see some money which we have lost since I lost my
husband:

Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this money out of
the security company to your own country, I propose a commission of 10% (Ten
percent) of the total sum to You/your Company for the expected services and
assistance. Your urgent response is highly needed so as to stop further
contact. All correspondence must be by E-mail only for now for security
reasons, my son’s phone number will be given to you as we progress on this
transaction, his name is ABBA ABACHA. I must also use this opportunity to
implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter
extraordinarily confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your
prompt response.
Best regards.
DR. (MRS.) MARIAM SANNI ABACHA (GCFR).

Dear DR. Abacha:
I was very excited to read your email today! I have family overseas perhaps they can help as well? Currently I am involved in several other deals which have put the big kink in my schedule so it is hard to reply sometimes. Can you let me know when we can meet to discuss the details of this transaction? I will be in France for two weeks then to Amsterdam where I will meet my mistress, when we are done having hot monkey love I will rollerskate to Germany where I hope to meet one of my partners in the greeting card business.
I look forwards to hearing your reply soon.
P.S. would it be possible to send a picture of Abba holding a sign with my name on it so I will know what he looks like when I come to meet the airport to finalize the agreements? Also, is there anything that you need from the United Kingdom? I have friends who own several electronic stores and carry the latest in electronic polygrams, cameras, computers and stereo. One guy gave me a scratched IPOD for free! Good friends that are trustworthy are few and far between no?"
