I'm sure many of you have rec'd one like this b4. The sad thing is someone will fall for this: ------------------------------------------------ Dear Beloved,
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 tophysical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country.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 $700Million 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 28.6million 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 Mustapha 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 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. 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 dont accept please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information intotal trust and confidence. I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.Please endeavour to reply me via my confidential email address of hajiamariam_saniabacha4realone@yahoo.com
Please expedite action. Sincerely yours,
Hajia Mariam Abacha

They must check your bank account before sending it,I never got one!!! Posted by 30thSSNerd (Member # 2155) on :
Ahhh...the old Nigeria net scammers! I got one that was way better then that. Said I was a distant heir to some large hidden fortune from a deceased person with the same last name. To make a long story short, once they get your account number they take money out instead of putting it in. I checked it all out when I was recieving the emails. I never got any legal documentation. He said it was all there at his office. I said great! Fly me out on the next flight and I will reimburse you when we recieve the estate funds. Never heard from him again!

Good old Nigeria. They got more crooks then Chicago ever had. Send this to the Attorney General. I think you can though their WEB site.
Or write back and tell her you've set up a special account in both your name and hers. So she can feel free to deposit money and it will be ready for her when she gets here.
