Subject: Fw: Pls help me to inquiry
-My Dear
My name is Dr Mrs Mariam Abacha the wife of late General Sani Abacha the former Nigerian Military Head of State.Since the death of my husband in June 8th 1998 my entire family were been maltreatment/persecution by the past government,but today my family were facing the worst humiliation/persecution by President Buhari Government and due to government Humiliation of my family,we lost all our friends,because government Frozen all my family bank accounts,confiscated all our properties,my family were ban not to travel out of Nigeria,we instantly became taboo,and we were ostracized from the society and today my family were suffering untold hardship from the hand of this President Buhari wicked Government.
Well because of this problems i decided to contact you for a deal.You see at moment my family has in our possession USD$30million but this funds were old notes dollars of pre -1996 Series and it is hidden in our underground basement and showed in a cleverly constructed secret store room, in which were 2 large iron boxes of about 3 feet each and in bundles and bundles of US 100 Dollar bills.I kept the secret of these funds from fear of the money being confiscated by this wicked Buhari Govt.Obviously, my late husband made this money from the contracts of Abuja Federal Capital Territory.My late husband explained to me peroir to his untimely death that the money was a kick back he received from the major foreign multinational corporations, who executed the multi-billion Dollar New Abuja Capital Project
Now President Buhari in his fight against corrupt Top Military Generals has BAN the use of these old notes dollars in Nigeria .Recently i gave my agent few of these old notes but he could not exchange USD$100 Notes because the money changers told him that govt has ban the use of 1996 series of these old notes. I made further discreet inquiries and found that the USD100 Notes now in circulation all over the world are the 2001 Series $100 Note I also found that I could change the stored notes in the new USD Notes but I must apply through a Bank .This is impossible because the Government will surely seize the money through their secret police (The Economic Financial Crime Commission – EFCC). Who now monitors all transactions in the banking sector.
Now I ask you two questions Is the Pre March 1996 USD Notes still Legal Tender in your country? Is it possible to change the notes in your Country? If your answer is Yes, then I urgently need you help! Please send me the following information.
1. Your complete name and address.
2. Your confidential Mobile Telephone Number
If you do, I will send you more details about how we intend to move this money to your country or nominated address. If you help me, you will take 30% of the money. Please this transaction is strictly confidential and on know account you should reveal this deal to anyone .
Once i hear from you i will send you our photo for your identification and also scan some of this Dollars and send to you.You can call my son Mustapha Abacha on his direct Mobile number because he is the one who will handle this transaction with you.BUT PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP IT SECRET
Awaiting hearing from you
Dr Mrs Mariam Abacha
