WITH THE COMPLIMENTS OF ABDUL ABACHA

I am Alhaji Abdul Abacha, son of the late Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, General Sanni Abacha who died under mysterious circumstances on the 8th of June 1998

After the death of my father, myself, and members of my family including my mother have been put through hell with interrogations, on account of corruption and mismanagement of public funds by my late father.

The aftermath of these interrogation has led to the continuous effort of the new President with co-operation from the Swiss government and other European  countries to freeze, confiscate and recover monies belonging to my late father  which were deposited in Swiss Bank accounts and in Bank Accounts in other  European countries. 

Our movement has been restricted, our travel documents seized and we have been forced to refund quite a huge amount of money which we earned through legitimate Government deals executed using the influence of my late father.

The reasons given by the present government for the harassment of my family constitutes a massive witch-hunting exercise by the numerous enemies made by my father in his bid to self succeed himself as President of Nigeria before his death.

These people presently control the socio-political structure and the economy of the country and are themselves guilty of the same crimes of non-accountability and probity leveled against my father.

It is a known fact that there is not one member of the present political class that have not been involved in corrupt practices in and out of the Government and have themselves amassed huge deposits in Foreign Banks.

Fortunately, just after the death of my father, my mother in anticipation of the present action of the new Government made arrangements to secretly move the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Five Million Dollars (US$155,000,000.00) in cash for safe-keeping in a security vault. 

These funds have been in the vault since then and we feel that it is now necessary to move the funds out of Nigeria for fear of discovery and confiscation by the new regime in Nigeria.

We are therefore seeking a business partner with banking co-coordinates capable of accommodating such huge amounts and is able to manage or nominate trustees to manage these funds in the interim as we watch the political situation in Nigeria unfolds.

Your main responsibility would be to assist in receiving the funds, investment of same in worthwhile ventures you consider profitable and for obvious reasons and as such must insist that all arrangements are made in your name.

For your assistance and confidentiality in these matters, we would be willing to offer to you upon negotiations an agreeable percentage of the total sum and on the profit accruing from the net investment.

I am absolutely positive that this arrangement will be of mutual benefit to both of us and I think that it is of utmost importance that you reach me through my personal email address stating your telephone and fax numbers and I would give you a telephone call to discuss the matter further and if we reach an acceptable arrangement, then we can proceed further.

Finally, I crave your indulgence to treat this letter with utmost seriousness  and I trust that this will be the beginning of a long lasting business relationship.

Best Regards,

Abdul.
