I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THIS LETTER WILL NOT COME TO YOU AS
A SURPRISE OR EMBARRASS YOU SINCE WE NEITHER KNEW
EACH OTHER BEFORE NOR HAVE HAD ANY PREVIOUS
CORRESPONDENCE OR CONTACT. THIS CONTACT IS
NECESSITATED BY THE SUDDEN INCIDENT THAT BEFALLS MY
FAMILY AND I. I AM ABUBAKAR IDRIS ABACHA THE SON OF LATE
GENERAL SANI ABACHA, FORMER HEAD OF STATE OF THE
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. SINCE THE SUDDEN DEMISE OF
MY FATHER (GENERAL SANI ABACHA), WE WERE FACED WITH A
LOT OF PROBLEMS ALL AROUND. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING
A LOT OF EMBARRASSING AND TORMENTING MOMENTS. THE
SITUATION HAS LED TO OUR GOVERNMENT, FREEZING OUR
ACCOUNTS HERE AND ACROSS THE WORLD, OUR PROPERTIES
AND VALUABLES SEIZED, OUR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
DOCUMENTS SEIZED. THE WORST OF IT ALL, THEY HAVE STARTED
PUTTING MY FAMILY MEMBERS IN DETENTION, AND KEPT THE
REST OF US IN HOUSE ARREST STRICTLY ON CLOSE SECURITY
MONITORING BY THE STATES SECURITY SERVICES AGENTS.
THOUGH WE ARE DETAINED IN OUR HOME, BUT WE ARE MORE
LIKE IN�SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AND WE DON'T FEEL THE
COUNTRY IS �SAFE FOR US ANYMORE�. IN THIS UNCERTAIN
SITUATION, AS I WRITE YOU FROM DETENTION, WE FEEL VERY
MUCH UNSAFE TO ENGAGE IN A CONFIDENTIAL TRANSACTION
WITH OUR CLOSE FAMILY RELATIVES, AND FRIENDS. WE SUSPECT
THAT THEY BETRAYED US IN THE PAST TO LEAK CERTAIN
INFORMATION PERTAINING TO OUR BANK ACCOUNTS AND
PROPERTIES TO THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH LED TO THEIR
SEIZURES. FOR THIS REASON, I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE RISK OF
CONFIDENCE AND TRUST ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND I TO
SEEK FOR YOUR HELP TO SECURE THE AMOUNT US$32MILLION
U.S.DOLLARS IN YOUR SHAVE. MEANWHILE, THE MONEY IN
QUESTION ($32M) IS SECURED INCASH DEFACED AND CONCEALED
IN A DIPLOMATIC LUGGAGE FOR SECURITY REASONS. THE
CONSIGNMENT IS PRESENTLY DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY
COMPANY IN NIGERIA FOR SAFEKEEPING. PLEASE TAKE NOTE,
THE SECURITY COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CONTENTS
OF THE CONSIGNMENT DEPOSITED WITH THEM CONTAINS MONEY.
AT THE TIME OF DEPOSIT, IT WAS DECLARED TO THEM (SECURITY
COMPANY) THAT THE CONTENTS ARE ART WORKS FROM
GHANA.ONCE I HEAR FROM YOU, INDICATING YOUR INTEREST TO
ASSIST SECURE THE MONEY FOR US, I WILL GIVE YOU THE
DETAILS AND GUIDES ON HOW TO CONFIDENTIALLY ACTUALIZE
THE TRANSACTION WITH YOU. I WILL ALSO DISCUSS YOUR
PERCENTAGE TO ASSIST ME IN THIS VERY URGENT MATTER. FOR
YOUR KIND INFORMATION, I INTEND TO INVEST THE MONEY IN
YOUR COUNTRY AND YOU MANAGE THE INVESTMENT FOR ME,
PENDING WHEN OUR PROBLEM GETS OVER AND I COME OVER TO
YOUR COUNTRY TO TAKE OVER THE INVESTMENT AND PROBABLY
CONSIDER MY BASE THERE. FINALLY,I ONCE AGAIN, LIKE TO
REEMPHASIZE TO YOUR CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT,THIS
CONTACT IS MADE OUT OF DESPERATION AND FEARS THAT WE
MIGHT LOOSE ALL WE HAVE TO THE GOVERNMENT IF FURTHER
TIME IS WASTED, SO BE FAST. I AM WILLING TO WORK OUT A
VERY GOOD DEAL WITH YOU IF YOU ACCEPT TO HELP. PLEASE
REPLY STRICTLY THROUGH E-MAIL ADDRESS
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> THIS
EMAIL ADDRESS IS STRICTLY CODED FOR COMMUNICATION ONLY
FOR THE BOTH OF US. FOR MORE SECURITY MEASURES WHEN I
HEAR FROM YOU I WILL LIKE US TO HAVE CODED NAMES IN OUR
FURTHER CORRESPONDENCES. PLEASE TAKE NOTE. I LOOK
FORWARD TO YOUR URGENT TIMELY AND FAVORABLE
RESPONSE. BEST REGARDS ABUBAKAR IDRIS ABACHA
