umm, sure I will help.....

Stormymystic · 10-23-2003, 04:26 PM

just let me get out my check book, and forget that my family needs this money as well........

I am Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha (GCFR), wife to the late
Nigerial Head of State, general Sani Abacha, who died
on 8th of June 1998 of heart problems while still on
active duty. I am contacting you because of my need to
deal with persons whom my family had no previous
personal relationship. Since the death of my husband,
my family has been subjected to all sorts of
harassment and intimidation with lots of negative
reports emanating from the government and the press
about my husband. The present government has also
ensured that all bank accounts are frozen, and all
assets seized. It is in view of this that I seek your
assistance in the transfer of the sum of Eighty Five
Million United Dollars, which my family and I intends
to use for investment purposes specifically in your
country, being the very last of my family funds in my
possession and control unknown to the government. An
earlier attempt in the physical movement of the sum of
U.S$55,000.00 was to no avail as the money was
confiscated and my passport impounded at Murtala
Mohammed International Airport Lagos, in August
1998.This money now in question came as a result of a
pay-back contract deal between my Husband and Russian
Firm in our country's Multi-Billion Dollars Ajaokuta
Steel Plant. The Russian's returned my Husband's share
of U.S$85,000,000.00 after his death, and lodged it in
my Late Husband's Security Company of which I am a
director. Right now, the new civilian Government has
intensified their probe on this family's financial
sources; frozen all our foreign & local account,
revoked our oil licenses, and even detained my
son(Mohammed) on alleged financial misappropriation,
pending the outcome of their investigation. In view of
these facts, I acted fast to withdraw the U.S
$85,000,000.00 from the Company's vault and deposited
it in a privately owned security safe in my village of
which I alone know of it's existence. I have since
declared the Security Company bankrupt. No record
whatsoever exists concerning this money traceable by
the Government, because there is no documentation
showing that we received the money from Russians.I
thus wish to discretely transfer the money out Nigeria
with your help, to be invested in your country's oil
and energy sector (under your professional guidance),
and to help start operation in an Oil Refinery which
my Late Husband built in Brazil.Bearing in mind that
your assistance is needed to transfer this money out
of Nigeria, I propose a commission of 10% (Ten
Percent) of the total sum to you/your company for the
expected services and assistance. Your urgent response
is highly needed soas to stop further contact. Note:
All correspondence must be by this security e-mail
address: which personally and privately belongs to me
and please address me with my full name including the
initials. I must also use this opportunity to implore
you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this
matter extraordinarily confidential, whatever your
decision, while I wait your prompt response.
Best Regards,
DR. (MRS.)hajia Mariamh Abacha

You would think that nobody on this earth would actualy believe this BS about nigerians and russians and $85 million dollars. But the procedes from this scam are in teh millions, and people have been killed after traveling to africa to make arrangements to collect the money.

Black Baron · 10-23-2003, 05:09 PM

Ah.. one of the famous Nigerian E-mail Scams.

Cloudbringer · 10-23-2003, 07:47 PM

It's an incredibly old scam that's been on the net for a while now. Just delete it and ignore it if you get one. They often have a variety of names, but the same kind of story.

The cost of import sure has gone up since the days of yesteryear [img]tongue.gif[/img]
