Please I enjoin you to handle this transaction with utmost degree of maturity and confidentiality because I am still in active government service with the “NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION”.
The Government have directed all the Banks in my Country to freeze the accounts belonging to my family and our numerous Business concerns of my Mother and Uncles have also been closed down and my immediate elder brother has been arrested by the Nigerian Government, while all our foreign Bank Accounts have been freezed aided by a publication in the FINANCIAL TIMES OF LONDON OF FRIDAY 23RD JULY, 1999, though my Father is not the only past Official accused of having money in foreign Banks. In any case, I received a reference of you/organization from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and Industry ‘Foreign Trade Division’ as a reputable organ that can assist us on this transaction. I presume you are aware there is a financial dispute between my family ( THEMOBUTU ) and the present civilian Government. I am the son of the late president of Democratic Republic Of Zaire, President Mobutu Sese Seko, ( now The Republic Of Congo, under the leadership of the son of Mr. Laurent Kabila). I am Abba Abacha, the second surviving son of the late General Sanni Abacha, Nigeria's former Military Head of State who died on the 8th of June, 1998 of Cardiac Arrest. A Foreigner an Australia, Late Engr. Steve Moore Snr., an Oil Merchant with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death a couple of years ago in a plane crash banked with us at UNION BANK OF NIGERIA, Lagos. I am Dr collins Gana one of the Directors with the UNION BANK OF NIGERIA, Lagos. Early last year there was a major oil spillage in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria which rendered over 70% of the communities homeless. The deal in brief is that the funds with which to carry out our proposed investments in your country is presently in a coded account in the Nigerian apex bank and we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country or any safe account outside your country in a convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use. Since the death of my Father both the immediate, past and incumbent Government of my Country, Nigeria, have been persecuting my family. We are sending you this letter based on the information gathered from the Foreign trade office of the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Joseph Mobutu Sese-Seko
