"Make millions helping me defraud somebody else..."

FROM: ABBA ABACHA, LAGOS, NIGERIA.

Dear Sir,

I am contacting you on behalf of my family, and l strongly solicite your assistance in the name of the Almighty Allah. I presume my dad did business with your company, because l found your contact address in one of his personal files. I am Abba  Abacha, the son of the late General Sani Abacha, a past Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Since my father's death, my entire family has been under immense pressure from the present Government of Nigeria, to make available the funds in my father's possession. As a result of this, my family has lost over US$775,000,000.00, which my father left behind for his family. Immediately after my father's internment, my mother made numerous attempts to travel out of the country with the funds my father kept in his country home, but all her efforts were frustrated by the government of the day. This gave my mother a lot of psychological problems.  

As a result of these foiled attempts, l decided to tactically move some of the funds to a neighboring country: this l succeeded in doing without the knowledge of my country's Government. The funds are in a total amount of US$21,500,000.00, and sealed in trunk boxes. I have made arrangements with the Security Company where l lodged the trunk boxes as photographic printing materials, to help airlift the trunk boxes to my would be destination (your country). At the moment, I cannot travel out of the country, because my country's Government is holding on to my International Passport. It is in view of this, l have decided to solicit your assistance in the dispensing of these funds in a destination/location  nearest to you. Remuneration is open to negotiation. 

I appeal to you in the name of almighty Allah, the beneficent and the merciful, to sincerely and honestly render us this assistance, l know you would wonder why l am not soliciting for assistance from well placed Nigerians, it's really sad. You see, all my late father's friends whom we have asked for assistance absconded with our money. . This disgraceful act by Nigerians has made it necessary for us to seek foreign assistance. Please, we implore you to treat this project with utmost confidentiality, as we would not want our family name in further trouble. Thank you for your anticipated assistance. Please, you can send your response to my mailbox and I will get back to you immediately.

Yours faithfully,

Abba Abacha.
