Betreff: A CALL FOR ASSISTANCE

Attention:

I wish to state unequivocally that you were recommended to me with regards to your image and reputation, tough we have not met or entered into any form of transaction before to determine precisely the authenticity of your honesty, however I decided to act on the recommendation which invariably suggest my conviction that you are trustworthy and honest. I am Usman Abacha the eldest surviving son of the former Nigerian Military head of state, the late general Sani Abacha whose death occurred on the 8th June 1998. Having gotten your particulars, I have no doubt about your credibility and goodwill to assist us in receiving into your custody (for safety) the sum of US $15million WILLED and deposited in my favors by my late father. The money is currently been kept in a trust fund/ security account, being administered by the family attorney.
However the present civilian government on assumption of office, set up a panel of enquiry to investigate and probe all financial activities of my late father, with the resolve to confiscate all his assets. The panel has submitted its report and presently some properties belonging to my father have been seized and some of his account frozen. Fortunately our family attorney had secretly with held and protected the personal will of my father from the notice of the investigation and has strictly advised that the fund be urgently transferred overseas for safety reasons. Earlier, the government had placed travel embargo on us. The situation has been very critical and terrible that we are virtually living on the assistance and goodwill of well wishers.
In view of this plight, I appeal and expect you to be kind enough to respond to this call to save me, my mother and siblings from a hopeless future. We have agreed to compensate your sincere and candid effort in the regard with 25% of the fund when it is finally transferred into your local bank account. We shall work out modalities with the finance/security company to effect complete lodgments of this money into your account within seven (7) days of the receipt of your response. We are equally guaranteeing 100% risk-free and smooth transfer
Please Kindly contact me through my e-mail.
I look forward to your quick response. May Allah bless you.

Sincerely Yours

ALHAJI USMAN ABACHA
