Joseph Mobutu Sese-Seko
I presume you are aware there is a financial dispute between my family ( THEMOBUTU ) and the present civilian Government. Since the death of my Father both the immediate, past and incumbent Government of my Country, Nigeria, have been persecuting my family. Now the contract has been completed and the original contractor has since been paid,but the contract balance of US$38 million,which resulted from the over invoiced contract sum that has been left in a suspense account with the CENTRAL BANK of NIGERIA,is what me and my partners are planning to take out of the country for ourselves. I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties in your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation of the Federal Ministry of works and Housing in Nigeria. Early last year there was a major oil spillage in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria which rendered over 70% of the communities homeless. 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”. 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. The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, has made arrangement for the funds to be declared Unclaimed and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa and the World in General. 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. We are sending you this letter based on the information gathered from the Foreign trade office of the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
