Dear Sir/Madam,
LETTER OF ASSISTANCE
====================
I write this letter of assistance with a great sense of honour and responsibility in care of SADIQ MOHAMMED. The decision to write to you was arrived at after a critical consideration of its urgency and the severe pain/terror my entire family had gone through with the present Civilian Government of Nigeria after the death of my husband.
I 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. I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great help to each other and also develop a cordial business relationship in the near future. Since the strange and unfortunate death of my husband (may God's mercy be upon him), the government has turned against my family and myself. At first, I thought it was a normal interrogation from my husband's enemies but I was proved wrong. My eldest son, Mohammed is being detained at the Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Lagos and most of our bank accounts known to the Government have been frozen to frustrate us. It has dawn on us now that it is a serious battle between General Olusegun Obasanjo's Government and my family. As my husband's regime put him in jail before he was released, he now wants to get back at us. My husband's closest associates have betrayed and deserted us and I no longer trust anyone of them. Therefore, I am requesting for your urgent assistance to help my family and myself have hope through my nephew to handle this transaction.
We are going through severe hardship, my son, Mohammed is in jail and the remaining ones and myself are under restricted movement by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The new democratic President, General Olusegun Obasanjo has seized more than US$700,000,000.00 million Dollars already including landed properties and investment in Nigeria. You can find this out in news watch of 7,8,15,21 of year 2000 on website http://www.newswatchngr.com or Tell of 24th july 2000 on website http://www.tell.com.org. I very much know that I am under surveillance by the Federal Government of Nigeria, so I have been making all my contacts through my nephew without the Government agents' knowledge.
I currently have within my reach the sum of Twentyfive Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($25,500,000.00), which I 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 country's multi-billion Dollars Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian Partners returned my husband?s share of US$25,500,000.00 before his death and was lodged in my husband's Security Company of which I am a Director, the new Civilian Government have intensified their probe on my husband's financial and oil company. In view of these, l acted fast to withdraw the US$55,000,000.00 from the Company's vault and deposited as family treasure in a Security Company in foregn cuntry for safe custody. I have since declared my husband's 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 in the country concerning government attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money within, thus consent I 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, I proposed a percentage of 30% of the total sum to you for the expected service and assistance, 5% for offsetting minor expenses incurred in the course of this transaction and 15% wil be used for investment probably in your company. Your urgent response is highly needed as to stop further contacts. All correspondences must be by the Telephone and Fax numbers or e-mail address above. I 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.
May the Almighty Allah bless you.
Best regards,
DR. (MRS.) MARIAM ABACHA.
=========================
N.B.: Because of the security being mounted on the members of my family, I have decided that this transaction exist between you and my nephew, SADIQ MOHAMMED, who was working in a Nigeria Mission in the United Kingdom during my husband's tenure as a Co-diplomat until he decided to relocate back to Nigeria leaving his family behind to help us in this matter. Please remember to include your private Telephone, Fax or Mobile numbers for easy communication. Sorry that this message have to come to you at the time you did not expect it and at this moment of the day. It is a matter of urgentcy. If you wish to speak with me, MOHAMMED will make the necessary arrangements.
