FROM THE DESK OF:- MARYAM H. ABACHA,
ABACHA COURT GIDADO ROAD,
KANO STATE,
NIGERIA.
REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL:- hajia_mariam@abachafamilyzone.org


Hello,
I am ( HAJIYA ) Maryam Abacha, wife of the late General Sani Abacha,
ex-military head of state of Nigeria who died on 8th of june 1998 of
heart
attack.
I am contacting you because of my need to deal with persons whom my
family
and I have had no previous personal relationship. Since the death of my
husband, my family has been subjected to all sorts of harassment and
intimidations with lots of negative reports emanating from the
government
and the press about my husband.

The present government has also ensured that all our Bank accounts are
frozen and all assets siezed. It is in view of this, that I seek your
co-operation and assistance in the transfer of the sum of US$70 (
Seventy
Million United States Dollars) being the very last of my family's fund
in my
possession and control.

The federal Government siezed all our properties and froze all our
account
locally and Internationally after the dealth of my husband, but my
husband
carefully packaged and deposited with a Diplomatic Courier and
Financial
Services Company outside Nigeria. This money was to be transfered into
His
account in Europe on His instructions, but as destiny would have it he
died
an untimely death.

Honestly, I have really suffered a lot in the hands of this present
government,kindly visit these web sites and see samples for yourself
what
they are doing to me and my family as continuously published in various
newspapers below:----

We therefore need your urgent assistance to clear this money from the
security company and move it to your country for investment into a very
viable business.

If you are willing to assist me in clearing and investing this money on
our
behalf, please, contact me so that i will direct you to my lawyer, So
that
he will know that you are from me and indicate your interest and
endeavour
to supply Him with your private (PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS) for easier
communication.

He will contact you and give you the details and negotiate your reward
with
you which I can assure you will be very substantial.You see I can not
deal
directly with you because of security reasons.

You have to make sure you inform me about your dealings with the Lawyer
via
E mariam@abachafamilyzone.org


Please ensure to keep this proposal very confidential for obvious
reasons
and if you have any questions or anything that you will like to know,
please
feel free to ask for answers.

I await your immediate response.

Regards,
(Hajia) Mariam Abacha

I've had this e-mail for real.....and a previous one offering a smaller sum, but with the same intent.

I also saw a TV prog in England where an elderly couple went for it and ended up using all their small life-savings to keep this scam going.....only to lose out in every way. It was pathetic listening to him cataloguing the various logical requests for money based on legalities, certificates for this and that......

and once your in THAT deeep, you just keep going..........

These scam artists should be strung up by their short-and-curlies.

How are you Dobby - I'm coming to Canada in 2 weeks.....but only to my previous haunt - and for only 2 days. I trust you are well.
