southsider2k5 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I love forwards... From: Maryam.A Date: Fri, 7 May 2004 19:43:00 -0600 Subject: KINDLY ASSIST MY FAMILY To: From:Maryam Abacha Lagos-Nigeria. Dear Sir/Madam, May I crave your indulgence to open this business discussion with you by an informal letter of this sort. It is pertinent that a business of this magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting between you and us to enable both parties know ourselves, have a fore knowledge of the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of both parties and appropriate shares accordingly. Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in june 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country. My son was just released from detention a year 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 give 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 $700. Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium.I will give you more information as to this regard as soon as you reply.I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you. I have deposited the sum of 30.000.000 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now until we open communication.I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son Ahmed alone, so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being.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 canstart 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. Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction.I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence communication immediately and I will give you a more detailed picture of things. In case you don`t accept please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence .I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action by sending your reply to my son email addresses below. Sincerely Yours, HAJIA MARYAM ABACHA.

Queen Prawn Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I get letters like that on a regular basis. I have often wondered if anyone has actually been gullible enough to reply or 'try' this scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 LMAO. The Nigerian scam is a classic and there are several websites devoted to it. When fax machines were new it gave a whole new opportunity and now with email the skies the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
