I am Amadi Howells ESQ, a legal practitioner and holding the retainership of the late Nigeria's Head of State, General Sani Abacha. I am making this contact based on a reliable recommendation given to me by a friend, while in Lome, Republic of Togo. Based on my long years of retainership with the Abacha family, I have the instruction of the wife, Mrs. Maryam Abacha to write you this.

[ Note: The version from "Ahmed Tanko", which arrived months later, reads "I am making this contact based on a reliable recommendation given to me by a very good friend of mine that works with togoiase chambers of commerce while in Lome,Republic of Togo." Miraculous recovery? ]

Since the assumption of power by the present civilian government in Nigeria, the entire family of late General Sani Abacha has known no peace at all. The present government has set out plans to liquidate the estate of the late General. The Federal Government has confiscated all known property of the late General in Nigeria. They have equally frozen all the family's bank account here in Africa and abroad. The first surviving son of late General Abacha, Mohammed Abacha is presently standing trial on a framed charge of conspiracy and murder.

All these victimization and many more have left the surviving siblings of General Abacha and his wife in a very desperate situation in the battle for survival.

In view of this experience and in order to avoid being put into worse jeopardy, Madam Maryam Abacha has decided to entrust her family money under the care of an obscure foreigner for safekeeping. Upon your acceptance to assist, you will be required to come here in Lome, Republic of Togo, and an account will be opened in your name, where this money will be deposited for onward transfer to your account overseas. After the successful execution of the business here you will travel with Mrs. Abacha to the final destination of the money for disbursement.

Like I stated above, the family bank account of late General Sani Abacha has been frozen and the money and the property seized by the government. Madam Abacha acting on tip-off withdrew as much money as she could before the freezing of her account and kept it in cash, very well disguised to avoid being detected by the agents of the government. The money will be put under your custody and under conditions to be agreed upon by Madam and yourself. Madam would be very pleased to discuss directly with you upon your acceptance to assist her. The first batch of US$10,000,000.00 will be handed over to you as soon as this agreement is concluded. However, you should undertake to make the money available to her on demand as a primary condition to the commencement of the transaction.

Upon your acceptance to assist, you will take as compensation 30% of the gross total. Please do treat this matter as very urgent and highly confidential. I look forward to hearing from you soonest.

Best Regard,
Amadi Howlles ESQ.
