BUSINESS FROM EUROPE

ATTN: THE MANAGING DIRECTOR.

DEAR SIR,

IT IS MY WISH TO ENLIST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROJECT HEREON BASED ON STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY AND SHOULD BE TREATED IN ITS STRICTEST TERMS.

I AM THE FIRST SON OF THE LATE GENERAL SANI ABACHA, FORMER HEAD OF THE NIGERIAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT.

FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF MY FATHER IN JUNE 3RD, 1998 MY FAMILY HAS UNDERGONE A LOT OF HUMILIATIONS AND DEHUMANIZING EXPERIENCES. HIS ACCOUNTS BOTH HERE AND OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY WERE INVESTIGATED AND TAKEN OVER BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT ASSUMED POWER AFTER HIS DEMISE. OUR PROPERTIES AND NUMEROUS INVESTMENTS WERE ALSO CONFISCATED. I WAS TAKEN INTO PRISON AND RECENTLY I WAS RELEASED ON THE 24TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2002, WITH CONDITIONS TO REFUND A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $ 1.5 BILLION THAT WAS DISCOVERED RECENTLY IN BANKS ABROAD.

ESSENTIALLY, THE REASON I HAVE OPENED UP CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU IS TO TAKE YOU INTO CONFIDENCE IN THE HOPE THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW GOOD JUDGEMENT TO PREVAIL.

I HAVE THE SUM OF ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN A FINANCE HOUSE IN EUROPE IN A CODED ACCOUNT. MY LATE FATHER FOR SAFE KEEPING GAVE THIS MONEY TO ME. I WANT YOU TO ASSIST ME INVEST THIS MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY WITH ADEQUATE CARE AND CAUTION UNDER YOUR CUSTODY.

MY SPECIFIC POINTS OF INTEREST FOR INVESTMENTS COVERS BUYING OF BLUE CHIP SHARES, REAL ESTATE AND OTHER POSSIBLE POINTS OF DIVERSIFICATION FOR INVESTMENTS IN YOUR COUNTRY. YOUR RECOMMENDATION OF ANY ECONOMICALLY AND PROFIT ORIENTED INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY THAT TRIVES IN YOUR COUNTRY WOULD REALY COME INTO SERVICE.

I HOPE TO CONTINUE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU.

THANKS.

BEST REGARDS,

MOHAMED ABACHA.
