Hello all,

very urgent

From: maryabacha@...
Date: 2003-08-30 12:33:12 UTC
List: ruby-talk #80624
From:Mohammed Abacha

 I wish to introduce myself to you and the reason for my reaching out
to you. I am Mohammed Abacha the the son of the late
military head of state General Sani Abacha who died mysteriously on
the 8th of June 1998. Following the death of my father
Gen. Sani Abacha,elections were successfully held in the country and
a civilian administration was sworn into power with the
assistance of the American Government under the leadership of
President Clinton. With the advent of the new democratic
administration, a decision was taken by the new president of Nigeria,
Olusegun Obasanjo to probe and ultimately prosecute all
past military officers and their cohorts that served in very
strategic capacities in the last military regime of my father.I was
among
those singled out to to be punished after a makeshift trial,for the
supposed deeds of my dad,ever since I have been in detention
(the past 3 years). On monday the 24 September 2002,I was released,on
the condition that I will release the rest of my fathers
money in my care,to the tune of $I.5b,which i agreed. Now I have been
released but kept under severe house arrest,I had
amassed monies running into hundreds of millions of dollars stashed
in various private foreign accounts around the
world,most of wish have been frozen. Presently, I am confined under
house arrest after my recent release from detention and I
am now constrained into seeking for this assistance today because I
cannot afford to let this goverment know that I still have
funds stashed away.

Shortly, before my detention I hurriedly deposited the sum of USD35.5
m illion with a security deposit firm for
safekeeping,hence my seeking your assistance to receive this fund. I
have since had this amount stashed away in a private
security company in Spain. I cannot send this money to any of my Bank
Account abroad for reasons mentioned earlier. I hereby
seek your assistance in moving and securing this money in your
account abroad. I will adequately compensate you with 15% of
the total sum for your assistance and co-operation with me to move
this fund to your account for safe keeping where I can easily
utilise it. The present administration has beamed their search light
on any body remotely related to me and my family and you
strongly know for certain that I am under surveillance and I cannot
operate any of my bank accounts any more, due to their being
frozen. I intend to safe guard and invest this amount of money
abroad, but with a reliable foreign business partner so that we
can invest the funds in doing business in your country. That is why I
am soliciting your assistance and cooperation as regards
this business.Arrangements are being concluded with the Security
Company which has branches in Europe to receive the
money in cash. I cannot tell the full story of my predicament on this
letter.

links.

Please indicate your willingness to assist me by sending to me the
following information, your company name and
address,your private phone and fax numbers so that I can contact you
and commence the transaction in earnest. I am waiting to
hear from you very soon. Please for confidentiality reply to this
