Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in June 8th 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration; the security agents in the country have subjected me to physical and psychological torture. My son was just released from detention few months ago by the Nigerian Government for an offence he did not commit. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within the country. You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security firms abroad, some companies willingly gave up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail. In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of lodged there or many outright blackmail.

I have deposited the sum of $20.5, million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safekeeping. You, my son Mohammed Abacha and my lawyer alone know this arrangement. I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all over again if only you wish, but if it is impossible, just help me in diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund.
