omg

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 07:31:00 -0800 (PST)
From: "GUMSU ABACHA" Add to Address Book
Subject: ASSISTANCE NEEDED
To: gumsu88@yahoo.ca




Dear Friend,

My regards, l am Gumsu Abacha , the daughter of
late Nigeria head of state general Sani Abacha, l got
your contact through a family friend whom l met during
christmas and new year holidays and he gave me your
contact when l was searching for a foreigner that
can help me invest my family fund in abroad hence the
government of my country has insisted in probing my
family's financial resources since the death of my
father,and has also gazetted all our properties.
recently the government had also seized all the known
family's fund in abroad with the assistance of the
British government.

lt is only this money US$ 28.000.000.00 (twenty-eight
million dollars) that was deposited in a security
company vault at Lome Republic of Togo that has not
been seized because the fund was deposited as an
African art gallery.the family intend to use this
money for investment purpose to enable the family
start life all over again.

This decesion is taking between me and my mother.
If this proposal is accepted to you, after getting the
money out of the security company vault to your
country, my family has agreed to offer you 30%of the
total sum for your kind assistance you rendered to us.
And in addition you bank the family's own part of the
funds and assist us in investing(with my approval on a
project) as a front for us until the situation
becomes more favourable for us to visit your country
and discuss the way forward.

Please kindly state youre arly response immediately
you rceive this message through this email address or
our family trustee email:abba_musa@fsmail.net,for more
details on the logistics and modalities.
Thanks and accept my regards.
Gumsu Abacha.

Isn't there some scam going around similar to this? Once they get your bank account information, all your money is gone...

Uh ohhhh!! Paisleypark4 don't you dare send any $$ to Nigeria. This is one of many scams going on in USA and Canada and maybe elsewhere. Make a copy of this and give it to the police before some people (and some will) get suckered into it.
