From: THE CELL OF DR.MRS.MARIAM ABACHA

Well we've had some time to think about DR.MRS.MARIAM ABACHA's letter. We haven't decided yet, but to differentiate the discussion the original email is written in this font, while our thoughts thus far use this far prettier font:

From: THE DESK OF DR.MRS.MARIAM ABACHA.
ATTENTION:

Good day and compliments.

Good day to you too and thanks. Have you lost weight?

This letter will definitely
come to you as a huge surprise but I implore you to
take the time to go through it carefully as the
decision you make will go off a long way to determine
the future and continued existence of the entire members of my Family.

Yes that was definitely a surprise, but the continued existence of your Family is suddenly very important to us.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr.(Mrs) HAJIA Abacha,
the wife of the late Head of State and Commander- in- Chief of the Armed
Forces of
the Federal Repulic of Nigeria, Gen. Sanni Abacha,whom died of heart attack.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but wasn't your name Mariam a moment ago? I don't want to quibble but this seems important so details could well be important.

My ordeal started immediately after my husband's death
and the subsequent take over of government by the last
administration.

Wow, sounds like you took his death, really really well. If regime change is more important to you then maybe you are over-prioritising politics.

The present democratic government is
determined to portray all the good works of my late
husband in a bad light and have gone as far as
confiscating all my late husband's assets, properties,
freezen our accounts both within and outside Nigeria.

Bastard Democrats. Bloody Free Will. Maybe your late husband's assets etc. deserve freezening?

I am writing this letter to you, my son Christoph
Abacha is undergoing questioning with the government.

I hope he's OK.

All these measures taking by the past/present
government is just to gain international recognition.
Me and the entire members of my family have been held
incommunicado since the death of my husband,

So how do you know about Christoph? Maybe he's out there living it up in the newly Democratic Nigeria? He could be voting his face off as we type.

hence I
seek your indulgence to assist us in securing some
funds. We are not allowed to see or discuss with
anybody. Few occassions I have tried travelling abroad
through alternative means, all failed.

Don't worry I sometimes Occasions wrong and I often put to many m's in tomorrow, but between you and me, I don't think you need a holiday, I think you need a lawyer.

My late husband has FORTY million US DOLLARS
($40,000,000.00) specially preserved and well packed
in trunk boxes of which only my husband and I knew
about it.

Wow. Are you sure Christoph doesn't have it?

These packages are been deposited with a
security company without anybody knowing the contents
of the packages, because it was declared as photo
materials and other personal effects.It is packed in
such a way to forestall just anybody having access to
it.

Schmucks. I bet Christoph is kicking himself now.

It is this sum that I seek your assistance to get
out of Nigeria as soon as possible before the present
civilian regime finds out about it and confiscate it
just the way they have done to all our assests.

So you can't get out of Nigeria, but you want to make sure that your money can?

On your consent, e-mail via the under listed contact
immediately for further discussions and clarification.
Bearing in mind that you may assist me, I have decided
to part with 15% of the total sum.Your URGENT response is highly Needed.

You want to give me six million dollars?

Yes, there is a need for us to see before the transferbut the reason why i needed the account is to get theapprovalof the paymentso that we can be 100% sure ofthe payment before our meeting.

What meeting?

I received the account but the Address of the bank isnotthere

I haven't sent you anything.

so send the address of the or state asfollows,
A/c number.
Beneficiary name
Bank name.
Bank address.
Your postal address.

I wait the complete account informations.

I'll let you wait for a bit. I need to think about this.

All corespondence must be forwarded to my Family confidant and
representative Mr.CARRUTHERS on his e-mail address:
(mister.carruthers@hotmail.co.uk)for security and confidential reasons.

He gets around.

May God show you mercy as you do so,

Show me mercy? I haven't done anything wrong, have I? Why do I need his mercy? Are you trying to get me in trouble?

Yours Truly,

That's a relief, I was worried for a while there.

Dr.(Mrs) MARIAM Abacha.

Well this all looks above board and I look forward to relinquish my precious details. Wait, wasn't your name Hajia a moment ago?
