Dear friend,

It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below: May I first introduce myself I am Mohammed Abacha, the eldest son of Late General Sani Abacha (former Military head of state and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June 1998. I will want you to read more of me on this web page below:http://www.vanguardngr.com /articles/2002/columns/c128022003.html. if you are trustworthy and can assist me receive some millions of my money kept with some security companies in vaults in Europe, get back to me immediately to enable us proceed at once.

The money was kept in a consignment with a Security Company overseas and I have all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for safekeeping. This money has been defaced for Security reasons and also to avoid it been spent by unauthorized persons. We have been deliberating on how to invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to invest it in the buying of estates and part of it will be used for non-speculative investments in your country. I am therefore soliciting your help to collect the consignment of money on my instruction for the release to you and after then transferred into your account. I will give you all the necessary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally overseas.

The government has no or will never have knowledge of this business, so there is no need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee your safety. Once I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will immediately send to you the relevant documents that you will provide to the security company to enable you take possession of the consignments. This will include certificate of deposit and letter of authorization. Meanwhile all I need from you is as follows:

1. Confirmation of your ability to handle this. 2. Your word that you will keep this business as confidential as possible at all times until we conclude this business. 3. Your Name, address and telephone numbers for easy communication.

If you agree to help, I will compensate you sincerely for your candid effort in this regard with 15% of the total amount of the total money in question, while 10% has been set aside for minor expenses such as telephone and other bills that you might incur. The remaining 75% will be invested meaningfully for me and my family future.

I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation.

Best wishes,

Mohammed Abacha.
