>>> mari abcha <mari_abc222@yahoo.co.uk> 06/18/02 09:48AM >>>

Dear mr Brad,

Thank you very much for your mail and the content therein. well, I want to let you know that I am not begging you for this project rather I am only helping you since you are getting your own fair share for receiving this money on my behalf. you should also know that I am not claiming to be MRS ABACHA, it will interest me to receive you here in nigeria before you receive the consignment, alot of people have benefited in my name through fraudulent means, alot have written series of mails to people abroad telling them they are MRS MARIAM ABACHA thereby extorting money from them, if you are serious and know what you are saying, you should write to FREEMAN INSTITUTE to ask them about me, my attorney compiled the series of mails some people receive which they sent to me, the mails have been sent to the institute and they have created a sight for the mails. I want to let you know that I do not have the I.D cards you have requested from me, what I can send to you is my picture but I can not send to you my mothers maide name, what for , what business do you have with my mother? that question is very insulting.

So mr Brad, if you are really interested in this business lets go on, you are requesting all these information from me how about you that is going to receive the money for me, do I know you before, do I know where you come from, I do not know anything about you and you have started giving me bad impression about your self, it is very un-business like. I will implore you to send to me your photograph and any other thing that will prove what you said you are.

you should know that the fund is in the U.S and we would have given you the clue on how you will go and get it but this development has put us in a very difficult situation to release any information to you.

Best Regards.

MRS MARIAM ABACHA.

My Dear Mrs. Abacha, if that is indeed who you are:

Attached find a photo of me (Attached photo). It was taken about 20 years ago, but I remain extremely vibrant and handsome today, despite my use of a cane on good days and a walker on bad days. Please reciprocate by sending photos of yourself and of your barrister.

I meant no offense by requesting the maiden name of your mother, and in fact I must require that information before we proceed. In the spirit of full disclosure, the maiden name of my mother, rest her soul, was "Humphrey." The dental records and other information can wait, but you must provide your mother's maiden name immediately. I did not become extremely wealthy by being careless. I'm sure you'll understand.

Finally, can you explain why you spelled your first name "Mariam" this time, but "Maryam" in your previous e-mail? Are you trying to confuse an old man like me?

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

I received your mail.

Well, I am unable to open the attachment for your picture, you could send it to me again and make it easy for me to open, if I receive it, I shall send to you mine and any other information you need except the I.D. cards you talked about, bear in mind that I cannot send you any card in form of identification because I have none.

Regarding about Mariam and Maryam, you should know that here in Nigeria, you can spell your name the way you chose, so Mariam and Maryam have the same meaning moreover most of my mails are being sent by my personal secretary who is a Christian. So, the idea could come from her.

MRS. MARIAM ABACHA.

Dear Mariam or Maryam, assuming those are your true identities:

I am resending my photo. It is a Microsoft JPG file, extremely common for photos. Please let me know immediately if you are unable to view the handsome fellow who is attached, but remember the photo was taken approximately 20 years ago. If not I will send more photos, including an interesting shot of my cousin Mort interacting with his pet ferrets. I inquire once again about your mother's maiden name.

Dear Brad,

Asalam Aleikum! May God be with you!

I got your mail and an attached beautiful photograph
which you took 20 yrs ago as claimed by you. I am glad
to have associated myself with you in this transaction
but I am having fears you never trusted in me based on
the questions you have been asking me.

There is no other Mariam Abacha in Nigeria except me,
though we have other Mariams but not of Abacha in any
place except me.

I am in a tight schedule and why I should not give you
my mother's maiden name is for security reasons. All
you need to know about me, I will humbly tell you, but
know it that I am from Lebanon, before I got married
to my husband Late Sanni Abacha who was the Head of
State of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.

I have sent for my secretary to scan my picture and
attach same to you, because I do not know much about
scanning and attachment.
I hope we can continue on our business, but please if
you are not ready to do this business, it's better you
humbly tell me so that I look for another interested
businessman who will receive the fund. The money is my
last hope since they have frozen my late husband's 3
local account yielding millions of dollars.
I also want to invest in your country (USA)
immediately the money arrives your account, so please
guide me as I have taken you as my saviour this time,
unless otherwise, you are not interested to help me.

I want to hear from you the final decision you have
made in dealing with me so that I instruct the
security company where the money is lodged to commence
processing of the transfer to you.

However, I shall quickly instruct you how you are
going to receive it.

I hope to hear from you sir.

MRS MARIAM ABACHA.

My Dear Mariam:

Thank you so much for saying my photo was "beautiful." Some say I am old and withered, but happily you realize that true beauty is within a person, as long as you ignore their gastro-intestinal tract. I eagerly await your photo. You ask about investments in the USA. There are several outstanding opportunities available, including an energy trading company called Enron, the Martha Stewart company, and a thriving business that produces a vehicle called the Edsel. Great land deals also are on fire right now, including several lovely properties near Show Low, Arizona.

DEAR MR BRAD,

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR MAIL.YOU WILL RECEIVE MY
PHOTOGRAPH TOMORROW, MY SCANING MACHINE HAS SOME
LITTLE FAULT AND WILL BE PUT IN ORDER BY TOMORROW.

SEND TO ME URGENTLY YOUR BANK INFORMATIONS WHERE THE
FUND WILL BE TRANSFERED TO.

GOD BLESS,
MRS MARIAM ABACHA.

My Dear Mariam:

I think you may be shutting the barn door after the horses ran off! No, that's not quite right. You're changing horses in the middle of the stream!! Wait, that's wrong too. You're putting the cart before the horse!!!

And I'm still not convinced that horse is not a nag.

You still must prove to me that you are who you claim to be. I first must receive your photo, your mother's maiden name, and a photocopy of your dental records before I disclose my bank information. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and rest assured there will be no more horse sayings in future e-mails because I have exhausted my supply.

Brad Christensen

dear brad,

i donnot blame you you can say what ever you like
concerning me itis never your fault . just because of
my condition who are you per say by the time my
husband was alive you think you can make jest of me
because of my .live who are you to even voice out all
this rubbish .how much is even in yur account .if you
know you are still interested you can send you bank
account so that the money into it but if you are no
longer intrested forget about the transaction.Already
the fund is now in pinnacle investment bank bahamas so
if really are interested you have to send your account
so i will forward it to the bank.

I told you yersterday that i will send my photograph
to you by today but i cannot understand insultive
language so if you are ready for this transaction
better send your bank particulars or i reather seek
for another person since you are proving too
difficult.

May God bless.
yours faithfully
MARIAM ABACHA.

______________________

My Dear Mariam:

I believe you have misunderstood my intent. My language was meant to be enlightening, not insulting. In fact, the tone of your response wounds me deeply. I remain intensely interested in this business opportunity. I am an extremely wealthy man and I'm sure you will understand that I did not achieve that status by being careless. I have more than $7 million in my bank account and therefore I need to be assured you are whom you claim to be before I share my bank particulars. I await your photo and mother's maiden name. The dental records requirement can be satisfied by a photocopy of your teeth faxed to me at XXX-XXX-XXXX. Once these matters are taken care of I will immediately release my bank information and we can move at extreme speed toward the finalization of our marvelous business opportunity.

DEAR BRAD,

IWRITE TO TELL YOU THAT I AM TIRED OF THIS KIND OF
REQUEST YOU ARE FOND OF.

FIRST AND FORMOST YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT MY
PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPH HAS NOTHING TO DO IN THIS
TRANSACTION .IT IS ME THAT SUPPOSE TO BE SCARED OF YOU
, BUT I NEVER MIND ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I KNOW GOD IS ON
MY SIDE AND HE CAN NEVER LET ME DOWN .

SENDING MY PHOTO TO YOU IS NO PROBLEM TO ME BUT DUE TO
THE FACT THAT YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ME, BY SENDING
YOUR BANK PARTICULARS MAKES THIS TRANSACTION BORING TO
ME. IF ACTAULLY YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS TRANSACTION
,KINDLY SEND YOUR BANK PARTICULARS TO ME AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE SO THAT I WILL FORWARD IT TO {PINACLE
INVESTMENT BANK BAHAMAS}AS MY ATTORNEY HAS PERFECTED
ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS REGARDING THIS TRANSFER OF
THESE MONEY WITH YOUR NAME AS THE BENEFICIARY .AND
PINACLE IVESTMENT BANK HAS REQUESTED FOR YOUR BANK
ACCOUNT WHERE THE MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERED INTO.

PLEASE YOUR SHOULD BE UP AND DOING OR RATHER YOU SEND
ME LETTER OF POWER OF ATTORNEY SO THAT I CAN MAKE A
CHANGE OF NAME 0F BENEFICIARY .

I IMPLORE YOU TO NOTE THAT ALL YOUR REQUEST IN YOUR
LAST MAIL IS IRRELEVANT AS FAR AS BUSSINESS IS
CONCERN.


DO YOU TERM ME TO BE A DUPER NOT AT ALL , IT IS
BECAUSE OF MY PRESENT CONDITION THAT MAKE YOU TO D
OUBT MY PERSONALITY THEREFORE YOU SHOULD STOP WASTING
MY TIME IN THIS TRANSACTION OKAY ,I AM ABOVE THIS KIND
OF MESS.I WONDER IF YOU WILL NOT SWINDLE THESE MONEY
WHEN IT GETS INTO YOUR NORMINATED BANK ACCOUNT.

IT IS MOST AUSPICIOUS TIME YOU HAVE TO REPOSE YOUR
INTEREST IN THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE BIG AMOUNT OF
MONEY IS INVOLVE YOU KNOW. AS I AM PLANNING TO
CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION IN NO DISTANT TIME.

I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
GOD BLESS.
YOURS SINCERELY

MRS MARIAM ABACHA.

______________________


Dear Mariam:

I am eager to involve myself in this business opportunity and I will immediately disclose my bank particulars as soon as you provide me with your photo, your mother's maiden name (that means her name before she married) and a faxed photocopy of your dental records (a closeup picture of your teeth will work). These are common forms of identification in the United States and will allow me to rest assured that you indeed are Mariam Abacha and not some imposter seeking access to the $7 million that is in my bank account.

If my small request is "boring" or "irrelevant" or "a mess" to you, then find somebody else. Thus far your horrendously uncooperative attitude indicates you are not one to be trusted with my bank particulars. Hopefully you will see the light, apologize profusely, and send me the requested information posthaste.

Dear Mr Brad,

I am sorry for not have contacted you for some time
now,i have been very sick and you did not even bother
to contact me,i wonder why we are then business
partners may be you think this business is not real or
you think it will not end up successfully.

I want to assure you that i will send all the
requested information by you in other to convience you
that i am the real mariam abacha.

Finally, i have discovered that you are a striaght
forward man i can do business with.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards.

MRA MARIAM ABACHA.

Dear Mariam Abacha, assuming that is your true identity:

Sorry to hear you were ill. But now that you are well and clear-headed you should be able to understand that I have not contacted you since June 27 because you used terms such as "boring" and "irrelevant" to describe my very sensible and common request for proof of identification. Please comply immediately with my request for your mother's maiden name and your dental records (or a close-up photo of your teeth). I still am hurt and depressed by your description of my dealings with you as "as mess." Well, before we enter any business agreement, you first must clean up your mess by supplying the requested information and apologizing to me for your hurtful and mean-spirited conduct. Then and only then may we do business. Please understand that I must be protective of the $7 million that is in my bank account.

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

I have received your mail. Please know that what we
are about to transact is a legitimate business and you
shall be entitled to commission in the end, and in
this, you should remember that I owe you no apology
only that you were not being respectful to our
business.

Therefore, if you really want to know more about me,
open this website: http://members.tripod.com/aspaaus/abacha.htm

You also told me that I should provide my dental
pictures and my own mother's maiden name. What have
these got to do with this business. I am surprised
that you are an American, such learned and whom I have
also gone through your website and saw corporate
investment you are heading part of the section, any
are still talking as if you are still in higher
college. I never expected that from you.

Do remember also that I am wanting to entrust large
sum of money to your hand, where and do I build this
confidence in you with all these happening, or do you
want me to look for another american businessman who
would assist me? Please tell me.

I am writing to you for the last time and if you are
not ready, please reply this mail and indicate your
interest. If you are afraid of providing your account
with $7M, please provide another account where there
is no money so that I can transfer my fund into it.
Remember that this is the first transaction so far,
but let us start from here, this is not the only
business we can do together.

Thank you and reply.

MRS. MARIAM ABACHA.

Dear Mrs. Abacha:

I have opened the website you e-mailed me and am stunned. It says, "Dr. Maryam Abacha fake wife of Sani Abacha." It also says, "If you receive a similar scam letter from Nigeria do not answer it."

You either sent me the site by mistake or as a joke. If it is a joke, I am not laughing. Now I must firmly insist that you reveal your mother's maiden name and fax your dental records to me at XXX-XXX-XXXX. I would also like to see a third form of identification that bears your likeness or a reasonable facsimile. Hopefully you really are Mrs. Abacha and our business relationship can be salvaged, even though you apparently have a warped sense of humor.

C/O UDEME JACOB

HER EXCELLENCY
MRS MARIAM ABACHA
#:57 BOMPAI ST,KANO
NIGERIA.

ATTN:SIR/MADAM,

I am Dr (Mrs) Mariam p.Abacha,the widow of the late Nigerian Head of
state,General Sani Abacha,who died on the 8th June 1998 of heart
problems while on active duty.I am contacting you because of my present need to
engage in a mutually beneficial business relationship with persons whom
i have not had dealings before and who do not have any political
indignation in my country.

Since the death of my husband my family has been subjected to all sorts
of harassment,intimidation and persecution by the Nigerian government.This
is because the people in the government now are people who believe that my
husband victimized them while he was in power.They have frozen numerous
bank accounts, seized monies and assets running into hundreds of millions of
dollars belonging to my family under the excuse that my late husband
stole the funds and assets.It is in view of this that i seek the assistance of

honest,God fearing people like you to help me secure my family
funds.Presentlty i have with me the sum of US$58.75 million,which i
transfer abroad as discreetly and as expeditiously as possible and i wish to with

your help apply this fund towards investment purposes in your
country.This money was my husband's share in a debt buy-back contract deal between my

husband and a Russian company in our country's multi billion dollar
Ajaokuta steel project.The Russian company returned my husband's share of
US$72.50 million after his death to a security company which i am the director
and his next of kin.With the intensification of the Nigerian Government's
probe into my family's finances and the consequent detention of my son
Mohammed on trumped up charges,i acted fast to withdraw this money from the security

company's vault and i have declared the security company bankrupt.No
record whatsoever exist concerning this money because i have personally
destroyed all documentation concerning it.On your acceptance of this bussiness
proposal, i will then deposit the funds in your name with another
security company.

Now i wish to solicit for your assistance to transfer this money out of
Nigeria and into your account to be applied towards investment in your
country.For your assistance i purpose to give you a commission of ten
percent(10%)of the total sum involved,which you shall deduct immediately
the money is paid into your account.Please i implore you to exercise the
utmost discretion in keeping this matter very confidential,whatever your
decision will be.

Contact me immediately through my email address as shown above.


RS FAITHFULLY,
DR(MRS)MARIAM ABACHA MNI,CON.

______________________


My Dear Mariam:

First of all, how many of you are there? I keep getting e-mails from different people saying they are you. Do you have a split personality or something? You might consider changing your name to Sybil (See attached photo. Is there a resemblance?).

Anyway, while you admittedly have had a tough time of it since your husband's death, you never have had to deal with the problem described below in an e-mail from Rob to his sister, Sue. Rob is a diver for Global Divers in Louisiana who performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs...


Hi Sue,

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a
bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I
thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not
so bad after all.

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a
few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of
the sea. I wear a suit! to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year
the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we have a
diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks
the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then
pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the
air hose.

Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times
with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working,
is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my
whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch.
So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a
few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back,
but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my
suit. Now since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick
to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched
what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator.

His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other
divers, were all laughing hysterically.

Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make 3
agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before I could reach
the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.

When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing! but my brass
helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running
down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my
butt as soon as I got in the chamber.

The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for 2 days because my
butthole was swollen shut.

So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much
worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job..."

Brad Christensen

LADY MARYAM ABACHA
ABACHA COURT
GIDADO ROAD
KANO - NIGERIA


Attn :


I am lady Maryam Abacha, wife of the of late General Sani Abacha,
ex-military Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who died on the
8th of June 1998 of heart problems, I contacted you because of my need
to deal with persons who my family and I have had no previous personal
relationship.

An adventist friend of the family introduced you to me. Since the death
of my husband, my family had been subjected to all sorts of harrassment
and intimidation with lots of negative reports emanating from the
government and the press about my husband. The present Government has also
ensured that our bank accounts are frozen and all assests siezed.

It is in view of this that I seek your co-operation and assistance in
the transfer of the sum of US$200Million only being the very last of my
family fund in my possession and control.

The Federal Government have seized all our properties and frozen all
our accounts both local and international, but my only hope now is the
available US$200Million cash, which I carefully packaged and deposited
with a security company.

If you are willing to assist us in receiving this money on our behalf,
please contact my lawyer immediately on this and fax 234-1-7597012. Your
benefit I can assure you will be very substantial.

Please ensure to keep this proposal very secret and confidential for
obvious reasons and send to us your private telephone and fax numbers for
easy and confidential communication.

We await your immediate response.

May Almighty ALLAH be with you and your family

Sincerely yours,

LADY MARYAM ABACHA

______________________________


Dear Lady Maryam Abacha:

Your story is a sad one that makes me weep crocodile tears. I possibly may be of assistance, but I first must be assured you are the real Lady Maryam. In the past, I have received e-mails from others claiming to be Lady Maryam, but they failed to provide adequate proof. Do you have a recent photo of yourself? Also, could you send a strand of your hair to me at the address below for DNA testing? If your hair is thinning and you can't spare any, a fingernail or some ear wax will do. Meantime, I have attached a photo of me. Do you like the sweater? I wear it all the time because it is special, just like you.

ATTN;
PLS REPLY TO MY PRAVATE BOX maryam775@mailsurf.com

I am Hajia Maryam Abacha, widow of the Late Gen. Sani Abacha former Nigerian Military Head of State who died as a result of cardiac arrest.

The name of you company appeared in one of our directories as one of the companies my late husband wanted to do businesswith before he died.
I therefore decided to contact you in confidence so that I can be able to move out the sum of US$35,760,000.00 ( Thirty Five Million Seven hundred and Sixty Thousand U. S. Dollars ) which was secretly
defaced and seal in big metal box for security reasons in your account.

I personally therefore appeal to you for your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on
me and members of my family by the Nigerian government.

You can contact me through, or my family lawyer . Upon the receipt of your acceptance to assist me, my lawyer shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigeria in order to liaise with him towards the effective completion of this transaction.

However, arrangement has been put in place to move this money out of the country in batches in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company to any of the European country as soon as you indicate your
interest. I also want you to be assured that all necessary arrangement for the hitch-free of thistransaction has been concluded.

Conclusively, I have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum 5% will be for whatever expenses that will be incurred, while 70% is to be used in buying share in your company subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian government.

Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
PLS REPLY TO MY PRAVATE BOX maryam775@mailsurf.com
Best regards,

Dear Maryam Abacha:

I am a successful inventor and surgeon who is very interested in your proposal. However, I have received at least a half dozen other e-mail offers from people claiming to be Mrs. Abacha. All of these Abachas claimed to have boxes of money. But all were impostors, causing me to lose $146,000 in security and other fees for boxes that never arrived. I pray that you are the one true Maryam Abacha and that your glorious box indeed will come, causing me to swell with throbbing joy. Please provide some sort of proof that you are the real Maryam. Can you please send a signed statement and a photo?

Brad Christensen

request, i have attached the photograph of me, my
family, and the money in question as a statement of my

Dear Maryam:

Thank you for sending your photos. None of the others who claimed to be Mrs. Abacha were able to provide snapshots of their box, which in your case indeed is glorious. If we are to be partners, you need to know a little about me. I am a very successful inventor and cosmetic surgeon whose clients include many rich and famous entertainers and movie stars. I own homes in Gila Bend, Arizona and Blythe, California, which are the cultural meccas of America. You should visit sometime. I have attached a photo of myself. What should I do next to access your wondrous box?

Brad Christensen

______________________________

Dear Mrs. Abacha:

I have tried calling Mohammed's number three times this morning but haven't been able to get through. I have extreme difficulties making international calls. Usually my surgical assistant helps me place such calls, but I don't want to get her involved in this business opportunity. Can you have Mohammed call or e-mail me?

At some point soon, I'd like to get together for a meeting with you and Mohammed. Travel is no problem for me since I am a man of independent wealth, having performed hundreds of augmentation surgeries on the rich and famous. I do wonderful work and my clients reward me generously. I have attached a photo of the latest surgery I performed on a very famous entertainer. I have informed this individual that no other surgeries are recommended, save one - a lobotomy.

Please respond as soon as possible about a site for our meeting. After our business rendezvous, I could cut you a deal on some augmentation work. A quick re-examination of the photos you sent indicates you could use some help. Meantime, all the best until I hear from you or Mohammed.

Brad Christensen

______________________________

Dear Mrs. Abacha and Mr. Adams:

As I mentioned earlier, others claiming to be Maryam Abacha have extracted $146,000 in various types of fees from me for boxes of money that never arrived. While this loss is not a great concern since I am a weathy cosmetic surgeon whose clients include the rich and famous, I would rather not waste any more money. Therefore I propose that I meet either of you at a location of your choosing before we consummate this wonderful business opportunity.

My travel schedule is open except for the week between Christmas and New Year's. That week I will be bringing Marilyn Manson and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to my estate in Blythe for a holiday concert. And later that week I will be performing a very difficult surgery on Winona Ryder. I have been asked to remove parts of her stomach and intestinal tract, and in their place create a kangeroo-like pouch. Winona contends this procedure will serve her well during her next trip to Saks. The procedures my clients request seem to shock and sicken most people. But for the rich and famous, you just have to realize that reality bites.

Please contact me immediately regarding potential travel dates from eary to mid January. I am eager to get started with this wonderful business opportunity.

Brad Christensen

Attn: Brad Christensen,

Thank you very much for your kind gesture mail to me, infact I was delighted to hear from you after my client Mrs. Abacha told me as of yesterday that you would be contacting me for assistance. As a matter of fact, I will like to introduce myself to you as Barrister Patrick Adams, the legal attorney to the family of the late head of state Gen.Abacha, with over 35 years experience in the law firm, so I am equally ready to serve you better than you expected.

I will like to bring to your notice that I will be going to the federal high court of justice to do the changing ownership on your behalf in all the documents, which you will be required to travel with to Europe. Furthermore, you should understand what it takes to do something of this magnitude in the federal high court of justice that is the place I going to do the changing of ownership replacing your own name in all the documents as the benefice beneficiary of the funds in question and we have hurry up before the federal high court of justice closes for the year. This widow has lost so much millions of dollars even properties worth billion of dollars, I will like you to show her some love, you can make her happy only if you can bail her out her present predicaments, she is under house arrest and cannot travel out the country. She is making plans to sneak out the country to meet up with you as soon as you claim this funds for her.

As a matter of fact, my clients Mrs. Abacha has made me to know that she has forwarded to you all the information's about her to enable you know exactly whom you are dealing with. I will assure you on own side that you should worry not as every modalities for a smooth claim of this funds on her behalf has been put into place. As soon as I have done the changing of ownership on your behalf, I will be forwarding to you all the required documents, which you are required to travel with to Europe.

After my investigation on how much it will cost you on the changing ownership in the federal high court, I was made to know by the Chief Judge of the federal high court that it will cost you the sum of USD8, 500 which is also been written in the Nigerian constitution and it cannot be change. Sir I will advise that you immediately effect to me the payment so that I can proceed to Abuja (FCT) to finalize issues about the changing of ownership.

Thank you very much as await your prompt response.

Yours In Service,

Barrister Patrick Adams (ESQ).

______________________________

Dear Mr. Adams and Mrs. Abacha:

Likewise I wish you both a wonderful Christmas. However, it will be impossible to finalize this business deal before the end of the year. As I mentioned in yesterday's e-mail, I first must meet either of you before I become involved. But I am completely booked between now and Jan. 1 tending to the whims and vanities of the rich and famous and organizing the holiday concert at my estate in Blythe.

I do have a nice window of opportunity between Jan. 2 and Jan. 14 to meet either of you and conduct our business affairs. I must be back in Blythe on Jan. 15, however, for I have a surgery scheduled on that day for singer Alanis Morissette. It is a transplant involving the vocal chords of a screech owl. Ms. Morissette's agent contends the operation will improve her tone quality and increase her marketability. You may recall that Ms. Morissette's own vocal chords were badly damaged in 1995 by a jagged little pill, forcing her in recent years to feast on scraps.

Based on the information and photos Mrs. Abacha has provided, I do believe she is the one true Maryam. But the fake Maryams who have stolen $146,000 are making me more cautious this time. Certainly you will understand this.

All the best,

Brad Christensen

Dear: Brad Christensen,

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your
family in advance, May God almighty guide and protect
you and your family this season. I have decided to
write you to know if you have contacted barrister.

I so much sympathise with on the lost, because a lot
of top government officials do use my name and my late
husbands name to extort money from foreigners, you
know my late husband was such a multi billionaire with
a lot of companies and assets, them scattered all over
the world. But I thank God today so many of the top
rated government officials who has used our names to
extort money from foreign individuals and companyÆs
has been under the hook of the federal government of
Nigeria, please take heart for the loss as I
sympathise with you, you should be happy now that you
have met the right person in the person of Hajia
Maryam Abacha, do not have fear for anything as I
believed that God will see us through in this
transaction, that is the reason why I decided to
forward to you all my contact information and identity
to enable you identify whom you are actually dealing
with.

My dear brother, I will advise that you adhere to the
instruction, because he will need to go and do the
changing of ownership on your behalf in the federal
high court of justice in Abuja, but I do not have Idea
on how much it will cost you for the changing of
ownership, which I believed that he barrister Patrick
Adams will be in the position to tell you how much it
will cost you for the changing of ownership.

Well it pains me so much that I will doing my own
Christmas and New Year in my house arrest condition
that does not permit me to go to anywhere than inside
my own house, infact I am tired of such thing. If I
may ask, what are you going to buy me as Christmas
present? , Remember that I am expecting something
tangible which will suit my image and personality.
With God on our side we are going to achieve our aim
and objectives.

I will be waiting for your immediate response on this
subject matter.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs. Abacha.

______________________________

Dear Mrs. Abacha:

I just explained my position in an e-mail to Patrick Adams. I intend to follow his advice to the letter, but first we must meet at a location of his choosing between Jan. 2 and Jan. 14.

I fully agree with you that it is shameful so many unsavory government officials have used and and abused your name and your box. As the attached photo will attest, just be thankful no cigars were involved.

So sorry to hear that you are under house arrest. That must be terrible this time of year. However, remember that every dark cloud has a silver lining. Regarding incarceration, just be thankful you will not have to endure Dick Clark this year. As for Christmas presents, I will gladly send several to you. What is on your wish list?

FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE ABUJA BEFORE THEY CLOSES FOR THE YEAR,
WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I FINALISE THE ISSUE OF THAT ASPECT,
WAS IN THE NEW YEAR, THE COURT WILL BE OVER CROWDED, AS THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP WHICH

WITH THE CHIEF JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH SENSITIVE
NATURE OF THIS TRANSACTION.

AS A MATTER OF URGENCY, I WILL ADVISE THAT YOU IMMEDIATELY EFFECT

CARRY OUT MY DUTY ACCORDINGLY. IF I MAY ASK, HOW WAS YOUR CHRISTMAS YESTERDAY?,

ON YOUR ARRIVAL YOU WILL NOW TRAVEL TO EUROPE WHERE YOU WILL BE GOING TO CLAIM
THIS FUNDS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS.

I AWAIT YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.

YOURS IN SERVICE,

BARRISTER PATRICK ADAMS (ESQ).

______________________________

Dear Mr. Adams:

I am unwilling to affect payment of anything until I meet with you, and our meeting cannot be scheduled until after Jan. 1. The Winona Ryder surgery is scheduled for early Monday morning, and it promises to be the trickiest, most difficult operation of my entire career. For the next few days I will be so busy reading up on marsupials and making other preparations that I will not even be able to respond to e-mails.

Following the Ryder surgery, I will travel anywhere to meet you and I will bring plenty of funding with me to cover any fees. Regarding the court's anticipated overcrowding to start the new year, I intend to bring enough money to coax the authorities to move us to the front of the line.

My Christmas in Blythe went well, despite a few problems. Who would have guessed that professional musicians like Marilyn Manson and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would have artistic differences?

Please advise when and where we are to meet and how much money I should bring to me. Meantime, I intend to send Mrs. Abacha a nice gift.

Brad Christensen

Subject: PLS EFFECT PAYMENT TO BARRISTER PATRICK ADAMS

Dear Friend,

I so much appreciate all your efforts and seriouness towards
concluding this transaction with me, i hereby want to you to forget
everything about those bastards who choosed to rip off peoples hards
erning currnecy with my name and my late husbands name. Infact if i
should tell you my urgly life story since the death of
my late husband, you will have pity on me, could you
beleive that the present civilian president has embark
on frozen all my late husbands accounts both foreign
and localy here and has also seized our properties
worths billions of dollars all in the name of
politics.

However, i am praying that the wish of God happens our life, God has
been so kind to me and my family, currently my elderly son Mohammed
Abacha is presently on detention for the past three to four years
sine the death of my late husband, we have been suffering, but
i beleived that God has used to rescue us from our
present predicaments. I learnt from my legal attorney
Barrister Patrick Adams this morning that you have not
sent him the money he requires to do the change of
ownership in the federal high court in Abuja.

As a matter of urgency, i will advise that you
immediately effect the payment of USD8,500 to him to
enable get all the required documenst ready so that as
soon as you returns from your trip,there will bo
nothing else that is going to delay your travelling to Europe for
the claim. I have mandated hin to get all the documents ready for
you, kindly ask him to give you the information you are going to use
to effect the payment to him.

Hope you understand the nature of this transaction
that it requires utmost confidentiality and secrecy,
that is why it is very important that he get the
change of ownership done before the new year, i have requested him
to be in contact with the Chief Judge of the federal high court so
that the change of ownership will be secretly done. I would have
given him the money for the change of ownership, but i could not
because of my present predicaments, i have no acess to
a dime, we are been sorrounded with almost 25
inteligent security personal.

As regards to your question on what kind of christmas present do i
wish you send to me, well i will suggest that you get me something
like (1)WHRIST WATCH (2)JWELRIES, this alone will be ok for me to
remember you each of every day i have a look at the
present,also if you can get me very good printing ink
for my computer at home, the one i have has finished0
(3)PRINTING INK. I believed that you will also get me
something that will suit my image and personality as
the wife of a former president.

I pray that God will guide and protect you and your
family, as soon as you get the presents ready, i will equally give
you details of how you are going to send them to me. I appreciate
your photograph,you are such a handsome man, believe that you are
much more handsome like when you are young.

Extend my sincerely greetings to every members of your family, thank
you very much and God bless.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs. Abacha.

______________________________

Dear Mrs. Abacha:

Believe me, I already have pity on you. Your situation saddens me and is causing tremendous flatulence. However I have made a vow to myself and my personal staff that I will not enter into business deals sight unseen. I already have instructed Mr. Adams to schedule our meeting for early January, and I trust he will do that. I will bring whatever amount of money he suggests to our meeting.

My Christmas at the estate in Blythe encountered a few rough spots when Marilyn Manson and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir couldn't agree on the key for "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." Then somebody spiked the egg nog. The choir members absolutely went out of control, wearing lampshades, dancing on my good furniture, and getting sick on the expensive carpeting. The odor was horrendously vile and awful, but it didn't seem to bother Marilyn at all. Marilyn not only led the cleanup, but at the banquet, even carved the roast beast. Some say Marilyn's heart grew three sizes that day and now is faintly audible on a stethoscope.

Regarding your gift list, nothing there is very expensive. I would rather give you something of much greater value. As the top cosmetic surgeon in California, I would provide you a facelift or Botox treatments at no charge.

I also do great ears, nose and boob work. I can make you look and feel 20 years younger. What do you think?

Happy New Year,

Brad Christensen

______________________________

Dear Mrs. Abacha and Mr. Adams:

My, oh my, Mrs. Abacha. I return this morning from the extremely difficult Winona Ryder surgery and find three e-mails from you, all whining about gifts and drugs. As I mentioned previously to Barrister Adams, my intensive preparations for the Ryder marsupial surgery would make it impossible for me to respond to e-mails for several days. These preparations required me to travel to several zoos and then visit the Blythe Public Library to review tapes of Wild Kingdom and the Animal Planet. I even acquired a technical adviser by flying in a veterinarian from Australia.

Still the surgery took 16 hours and was the most difficult of my career. At one point, I accidentally removed Ms. Ryder's kidney when I was scooping out sections of intestine. Thankfully, I had enough surgical duct tape on hand. I thought I was finished at 13 hours, but the pouch kept flopping open. Now it snaps shut nicely. It's amazing what a little Velcro can do. Now Ms. Ryder can shop unfettered anywhere in the world.

Now on to our business before I must perform the surgery on Alanis Morissette on Jan. 15. Please, Mr. Adams, advise where and when we are to meet. Regarding your gifts, Mrs. Abacha, I will purchase them today. And as a surgeon, I have access to all drugs. Tell me what drugs you need and I will send you an immediate supply Fed Ex. Exactly where do I send the gifts and drugs?

All the best,

Brad Christensen

______________________________

Dear Mrs. Abacha:

Thanks for the address for the Fed Ex shipment. However, you negected to mention the name of the drugs that you need so I can include them with the shipment. Please do so immediately because I worry tremendously about your health and as stated previously, have been suffering overpowering flatulence as a result.

Regarding the timing of my meeting with your lawyer, the window of opportunity has just narrowed. Now I must perform an operation before the Alanis Morissette surgery on Jan. 13. It is an emergency brain transplant for Britney Spears that's scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 9. This surgery absolutely cannot be delayed because Ms. Spears has reached the critical stage.

For example, in a recent interview, Ms. Spears was quoted as saying: "The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff." And then, in an interview with Canadian late night television host John Bullard, she proclaimed: "I like most of the places I've been to, but I've never really wanted to go to Japan, simply because I don't really like eating fish, and I know that's very popular out there in Africa, but the whole thing doesn't appeal to me."

Britney's agent obviously is quite concerned and Britney's mother has reached the point of hysteria. They believe such statements will doom Britney's popularity. I have tried to calm them, pointing to President Bush's amazing approval rating in the face of so many inane statements. But they refuse to listen and always bring up the case of Mariah Carey, whose popularity tumbled when she refused a brain transplant, even after uttering this statement: "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff."

Please inform Mr. Adams that my trip absolutely must conclude before Jan. 9 or else be scheduled to begin after Jan. 15. Also, do not forget to name the precise drugs you need because your life may depend on them. Finally, please pray for Britney.

Happy New Year,

Brad Christensen
