The Abacha story is by far the most popular name
used in 419 scams. It is almost guaranteed that everyone
using this name is a male posing as Mrs. Abacha, a woman.
Here are some interesting variations of her story...

Before we get started with all of the "Abacha" letters,
here is what BBC News said about Sani Abacha

BBC News -- The late Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha and his family stole $4.3 Billion from public funds during his four and a half years in power, the Nigerian Government says. The announcement by President Olesegun Obasanjo is the first time he has put a figure on the fortune illegally transferred from public accounts by Nigeria's previous rulers. 

President Obasanjo said the Abacha family had directly siphoned $2.3 Bn from the national treasury awarded contracts worth a further $1Bn to front companies extorted another $1Bn from third party foreign contractors. Mr Obasanjo said his government was determined to recover as much of the money as possible. He said most of the money had been illegally transferred abroad. 

The Swiss authorities have frozen $645 Million in bank accounts belonging General Abacha and his associates while they conduct an investigation. But the Nigerian has reported that the government is also investigating the transfer of money to banks in the United Kingdom, France, Lebanon and the United States. 

Sani Abacha seized power in Nigeria in November 1993 and ruled until his sudden death in June 1998. His death paved the way for the reinstatement of civilian government in Nigeria. Several leading banks in Switzerland have been criticised by the country's regulators for accepting money from the family of the late Nigerian military ruler, Sani Abacha. 

In a report, the Swiss Federal Banking Commission said 19 banks had dealings with his regime and, although they did report their suspicions of money-laundering to the Swiss authorities, they should not have accepted the money in the first place. Six banks - three branches of Crédit Suisse plus Crédit Agricole Indosuez, Union Bancaire Privée and MM Warburg - were singled out for failing to run adequate checks on new accounts, including those opened by General Abacha's two sons. 

"The mere fact that significant assets of dubious origin, from people close to former Nigerian President Sani Abacha, were deposited at Swiss banks is highly unsatisfactory and damages the image of
Switzerland as a financial centre," Banking Commission Chairman Kurt Hauri said after the 10-month investigation. 

At Nigeria's request, Switzerland has frozen hundreds of millions of dollars held there, as have Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. The commission said that almost a third of the Abacha money deposited with Swiss banks had first been banked in the UK, United States and Austria.

ATTN: CEO/President

Compliments of the day to you. 

I am Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha GCFR), wife to the late Nigerian Head of State, General Sanni Abacha, who died on the 8th of June, 1998 while still on active duty. I am contacting you in confidence, and as a means of developing a cordial and fruitful business relationship. 

I currently have within my reach, the sum of twenty million United States Dollars, which I and my family intends to use for investment purposes specifically in your country. This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country’s multi-Billion Dollar Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian’s returned my husband’s share of US$20,000,000.00 after his death, and lodged it in my late husband’s Security Company of which I am a Director. Right now, the new civilian government has intensified their probe on this family’s financial resources; frozen all our known foreign and local accounts, revoked our oil licenses, and even detained my son (Mohammed) on alleged financial misappropriation, pending the outcome of their investigations. In view of these facts, I acted fast to withdraw the US$20,000,000.00 from the company’s vault and deposited it in a privately owned security company of which I alone know of it’s existence. I have since declared the security company bankrupt. No record whatsoever exists concerning this money traceable by the government, because there is no documentation showing that we received the money from the Russians. 

Due to the current situation in the country concerning government’s attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for us to make use of this money within. I thus wish to discretely transfer this money out of Nigeria with your help, to be invested in your country (under your professional guidance), and to help start operation in an Oil Refinery which my Late Husband built in Brazil before his death. I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss this transaction in details. 

Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this money out of Nigeria, I propose a commission of 10% (Ten percent) of the total sum to you/your company for the expected services and assistance. Your urgent response is highly needed so as to stop further contact. All correspondence must be by E-mail (MARIAM_SANNI@YAHOO.COM) only for now for security reasons, my son`s phone number will be given to you as we progress on this transaction, his name is ABBA ABACHA. I must also use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. 

Best regards.

email: sh_abacha@excite.com

Sir, 
REQUEST FOR AN URGENT HUMANITARIAN HELP AND BUSINESS PROPOSAL. 
It is my pleasure to make my acquaintance to you. I am Shehu Musa Abacha (In later correspondence he changed his name to Yusuf Duru and still later used the name, Dr. Bello Idahosa), cousin to the late General Sani Abacha the former President of Nigeria. My relationship with the General’s family was twofold: First, we were cousins. Second, I looked after his three children who were schooling in Amman, Jordan. Third, I was entrusted with some the family’s finance, please read the online news information. <www.ngrguardiannews.com/news2/nn79000l.html>  Since the General’s death, the Nigerian government has been after his family in so many ways. His wife Maryam has been under house arrest, and her traveling documents seized by the government. His eldest surviving son and the breadwinner of the family -Mohammed is still under government custody over some fabricated allegation of murder. 

The Nigerian government has gone after the family’s wealth. Many of the General’s real estate have been seized and some auctioned. All their bank accounts in Nigeria and abroad known to the government have been frozen. The hunt for their money is still on. Indeed, the same government has kept me under surveillance within this country because they believed that I am still in possession of US$52,000,000.00 cash (Fifty Two Million US Dollars) of the Generals money, but they have no prove to that effect. However, the truth in all this was that the current Nigerian President, a retired army General, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was imprisoned by late General Abacha during his regime for Chief Obasanjo’s involvement in a failed military coup against General Abacha’s government in 1995. Meanwhile, I have received words from the late General’s widow- Maryam, to do whatever it takes to safeguard this money that have been under my care and which I had secretly kept in a Security Company under different identity, which I am still in possession of the deposit information. Also, the family has agreed to offer 20% of this money to you for your assistance to help in the securing and investing of this fund outside Nigeria and Africa in general. Please, contact me immediately through my above phone or email for more discussion and modalities. 
Regards, Shehu
Musa Abacha. (for the family)

Here's some cash from the retired former fake personal accountant to Sani Abacha -- Mariam's husband. Confused? Read on....

Dear sir
First I will like you to take your time to go over this mail carefully and with patience. Please, this is a matter of urgency, this is because I need your help and I need it very quickly too. At this stage I will like to introduce my self. I am Suleiman Dahiru I am 51 years old, a Nigerian. Today I am formally retired as the personal accountant to the late head of state of this country Late General, Sani Abacha. Since his demise things have never been the same for us who served under his regime. I cannot leave the country for now because the present government is still investigating huge amounts of funds embezzled by the Late Head of State and remains hostile to his family and properties. 

Shortl! y before his death the General gave me a very huge amount of money to be transfered to an off-shore Security company abroad and this I did with the help of his eldest son who is presently being held in detention for human rights violations. You can check the internet to confirm these facts. In any case the funds was successfully transfered and it is currently in a safe deposit abroad. All the papers to legally claim the funds is with my attorney for security porposes and the amount involved in this transfer is US$21,320,000.00 (Twenty One Million, Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand U.S. Dollars). The present government of my country has so far recovered most of the funds transfered by the Late General but they do not and will not have access to this one. This is because the funds is not in a bank like the others already recovered but rather, in a security company and all documents relating to it's existence completely unknow! n except by me. I have thought about this and I have decided to invest this funds abroad, preferably in your beautiful country and later settle with my family there when all this is over. However, for now I sincerly want your help in the area of investment opportunities in your country in Research, Real estate and properties, computers and other things that will bring real returns for my investment worth.

Please, can you help me by recieving the funds as the beneficiary?. There is no risk involved as the funds is already out of Nigeria. All you need is just the papers to put forward before the Security company and the funds will be released to you promptly. These papers I am ready to send to you as soon as I hear from you with personal information about your self. Please, be informed that you will be compensated with US$1,300,000.00 (One Million, Three Hundred Thousand U.S dollars) of the funds upon collection if you agreeto help me, and the rest we can put into business. 

I await your urgent response. I will fill you in with more information when I have heard from you. Please do furnish me with your phone and fax numbers when responding. Thanks and God bless as I look forward to
your favourable reply.

Yours sincerly,
Suleiman Dahiru

The funds have been in the security company (We'll bet that the name is Global Security Company -- a run down warehouse in Accra with two guys dressed in rumpled security uniforms. What a joke!) in ACCRA, GHANA since July 1998. (Guess who they will want to pay for the storage of all this money at about $75 to $100 a day since July 1998?) Because of the restriction placed on my family by the Nigerian Government, I Simply cannot travel to secure the funds from the security company  in ACCRA, GHANA. What I now need from you are as follows:

No record ever existed concerning the money neither is the money traceable  by the government because there is no document showing that we received such money from the Russians.

GREETINGS

I am Barrister (Alhaji)Hamza Abdul Ahmed (LL.B, L.L.D,P.HD) and the legal Adviser to the GWARZOR'S family. This proposal is anchored on the sudden detention and prosecution of my client - Alhaji Ismaila Gwarzo, the former National Security Adviser to the late President of Nigeria, Gen. Sani Abacha who died on the 8th day of June, 1998.After a close door deliberations with GWAZOR'S family, an agreement was reached to externalize or rather take out some of his wealth out of the country. Though my client has refunded the accounted funds totaling US$160 million and 75 million pounds sterling cash to the Federal Government and another US$250 million through his various accounts abroad. The Executive and Judiciary arms of Government are satisfied in contrary to oppositions from the Legislatives. To this end my client was placed on house arrest on protective custody.

With the fear of further probe and the drastic measures which may be taken by the Senate as a result of the dense agitation of the masses, his family is now having serious problems from critics in this country. A total sum of US$56,000,000.00 (FIFTY-Six Million US Dollars) in CASH is to be taken out of the country immediately to avoid onward exhibit against the family.

This money must be transferred through a Diplomatic Courier Company for safety and with utmost secrecy to avoid any element of trace, pre and post the transaction. To this end, a foreigner is needed to assist and play a very vital role for the easy transfer of this money; Hence we decided to contact you at this point to act as the BENEFICIARY of this US$56,000,000.00. This is to ward off Gwarzo's family from been the custodian of this money, thereby beating all the inquiry to be made by the setted up Human Right  Investigation Panel (HRIVP) headed by Justice Chukwudifu Oputa (rtd) and popularly known as OPUTA panel.

The family is prepared to give 10% of the total US$56million United States Dollars if you accept to meet me and the family representative in Amsterdam or any other European country the diplomatic company can deliver the consignment, so as to receive the money from the securities company in CASH and you will open an account in your name in Amsterdan for onward transfer to your country for safety and investment. This transaction is urgent and highly confidential. You are free to ask questions in areas you deem to fit. Visit on the website: www.thisdayonline.com for THISDAY NEWSPAPER vol14 No.1218 of Saturday, August 22, 1998, pages 1 and 2 captioned "ABACHA FAMILY REFUNDS $750 MILLION TO FG", for your verification. Also verify the Lagos and Abuja (FCT) seating of the above mentioned OPUTA Panel.

I am looking forward to your favourable reply. Reply through this Mails or!dris_Islamic@yahoo .com,abahmed@lycos.comor mobile phone number: 234-80-33130682.

Your Faithully,
Alhaji Hamza Ahmed.( Esq.)

Here are a few emails from "Mrs. Abacha" -- and then she turns everything over to her attorney, "Barrister Greg Michael"...let the scams begin.

DEAR SIR,
I AM DR. (MRS) MARIAN ABACHA THE WIFE OF THE IMMEDIATE PAST MILITARY PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA WHO DIED ON 8TH JUNE 1998. MY MAJOR REASON FOR WRITING THIS LETTER TO YOU IS THAT MY HUSBAND LEFT A LOT OF PROPERTIES AND HUGE AMOUNT OF CASH MONEY BEFORE HIS SUDDEN DEATH. THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF OUR COUNTRY THAT SUCCEEDED MY HUSBAND IS NOT FAVOURABLE TO OUR FAMILY AND INDEED HAS SHOWN THIS, BY THE CONFISCATION OF MANY OF OUR LANDED PROPERTIES AND LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY BELONGING TO MY HUSBAND. FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE DISCOVERED MY LATE HUSBAND'S WILL. THIS WILL STATES THAT THE SUM OF US$45MILLION HAS BEEN DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN NIGERIA FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. WE HAVE CONTACTED THIS SECURITY COMPANY AND IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THE US$45 MILLION IS STILL INTACT AND THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE TO COLLECT THE BOX CONTAINING THE MONEY ANY TIME WE WANT. 

DUE TO THE DEATH OF MY HUSBAND AND RECENT ARREST OF MY ELDEST SURVIVING SON (MOHAMMED ABACHA) THE HANDICAP AT THIS MOMENT IS THAT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF OUR COUNTRY WILL CONFISCATE THIS MONEY IF WE MAKE USE OF IT IN THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED THE ASSISTANCE OF A FOREIGNER WHO WILL HELP TO INVEST THIS MONEY OUTSIDE OUR COUNTRY. THIS IS WHY I DECIDED TO  CONTACT YOU TO ASSIST US. NOTE: I WILL PAY YOU 20% OF THE ENTIRE AMOUNT AND THE REST TO BE RELEASED TO ME. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GIVING THIS ASSISTANCE, PLEASE INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THROUGH MY CONFIDENTIAL E-MAIL ABOVE AND FURNISH ME WITH YOUR PERSONAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER I WILL THEN GIVE YOU THE ENTIRE MODALITIES FOR THE BUSINESS ON RECIEPT OF YOUR EMAIL MESSAGE. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS NEEDS TO BE EXPEDITED BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE SOME WORKING DAYS FROM THE DAY OF NEGOTIATION. PLEASE KEEP THIS BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL.
BEST REGARDS,
DR. (MRS) MARIAN ABACHA

Oops, she fired all of her other "lawyers" and now has retained the services of John Okah.

Kano - Nigeria 

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL 

It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek your assistance on the subject below. I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the former Nigerian head of state, late General Sani Abacha whose sudden death occurred on June 8, 1998.

I got your e-mail address from the family library and decided to contact you with the spirit that you would be in a good position to assist me to receive into your custody (for safety), the sum of US$18.5M US Dollars), which my husband was about transferring to his account in Switzerland before his death. The money is currently kept in trust deposit with a finance and security organization . 

I am sure you must have read this story in virtually all the newspapers and magazines around the globe
that my husband embezzled more than 5 billion dollars from the Federal treasury and his accounts in Europe and America were frozen by the Federal Government. 

His properties in Nigeria and abroad were also confiscated. It is indeed a known fact that the present democratic government of Nigeria has never extended the hands of friendship to my family, therefore, I considered it wise to look for means to transfer the money to a trusted account abroad for safe keeping and subsequent investment. The government had earlier placed embargo on overseas trip to all members of my family, thereby making things a lot difficult for us.

However, I assure you a 100% risk free from the business since Nigerian government is still not aware of the money. 

To this regard, I am prepared to offer you 35% of the total amount if you are able to get the money out from where it is currently deposited. If you are interested, please send our reply to my lawyer, MR. JOHN OKAH on his Direct fax number: 234-9-2721730 or (E-mail Address: okah1233000@yahoo.com), he will furnish you with more details on how this transaction will be perfected. As you must have known, my phone and fax numbers are already bugged by the Government security agents to monitor information flow to members of my family, hence I cannot deal directly with you. 

Thanks for listening while I wait for your prompt response.

Kind Regards, 
MRS. MARIAM ABACHA (WIDOW).

Sir/Madam, Compliments of the season!

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. Since the death of my Father both the immediate, past and incumbent Government of my Country, Nigeria, have been persecuting my family. The present Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo have turned the klieglight of investigations into the actvities of my family. 

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.

I am therefore using this medium to solicit for your assistance. Your Business profile and name were given to me in confidence by the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Foreign Trade Division). The information regarding the viability of your Business concern gingered me into soliciting for your help. Now, since the present Government of my Country is hell-bent on prosecuting, disgracing the good name and image of my entire family and possibly doing more damages to our financial base, I am therefore desirous of handling over the remains of my Father's Money US$36 Million (Thirty-six Million United States Dollars Only) which is presently SAFELY and SECRETLY kept in CODED CASH in a! Security Company outside my Country to evade confiscation by the Nigerian Government or its Agents.

Please, if you are interested in helping my family move this money into your private or Company Account, kindly inform me through my E-mail addresses above. After the movement of this huge sum of money out of its secret place into your Country, I plan to give you 20% of the total sum and 10% would be set aside to take care of all incidental expenses, while 30% will be plunged into your Business concern as shares or for high profile investment purposes in your Country. Then, the rest 40% shall be used to settle my entire family who have reached advanced stage of emigrate to your Country for political asylum. For your information my dear grief stricken mother has the blessing of this Business transaction. It is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust and I would also kindly appeal that you keep this pro! posed transaction with TOP SECRET.

Your immediate response will be appreciated and all machineries concerning this transaction will be swung into action. Thanks.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Abba Abacha.

BARRISTER SHERRIFF BRIAN

Greetings
May l briefly introduce myself to you. I am Umar Bagudu the son of Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Bagudu a very close associate of Abacha family (yes, and I am related to a man whose uncle's friend's employee's dog plays with the dog that is from the same litter as the dog owned by the President of the United States), the late Nigerian Head of State, General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June,1998. 

Ever since the death of the General, his family has been facing a lot of problems mostly with the present Civilian Government. Consequently his son (my friend) Mohammed Abacha has been under torture making a lot of confessions as regards valuables, money inclusive that his late father entrusted in his hand for safe keeping.

The latest is his confession on the US$700,000,000.00 (Seven Hundred Million United States Dollars) cash his late father gave him for safe keeping. Please check Newswatch Magazine of May 8th/15th, 2000 issue on [Website:http://www.newswatchngr.com] to confirm the above story. Also the recent publication by THISDAY Newspaper on Thursday March 1st Edition, which London Court clear ways for more recovering of Abacha's family looted money. Please confirm this issue on website: http://www.thisdayonline.com, click the Archive/2001/March 2001/Thursday March 1st.

Being a very close friend of Mohammed Abacha, he sometime in 1999 shortly after his fathers death gave me US$60,000,000.00 (Sixty Million United States Dollars) to transfer out of the country. Normally, we (I and Mohammed Abacha) usually do such transaction, by first sending the money out by Cargo to a security company outside Nigeria, as photographic materials. And thereafter go to the security company for claim before transferring it to any bank of our choice.

Presently, l can not travel out of Nigeria, because, if you have gone through the above mentioned website address, you will see how Mohammed Abacha's confession have implicated my father and in fact the whole of my family (The Bagudu's). This has actually caused the Federal Government of Nigeria to confiscate our international passports, frozen every of my family member bank accounts both home and abroad, even our properties.

My problem now is, since Mohammed Abacha has started confessing l want someone that can assist me to move the US$60,000,000.000 (Sixty Million United State Dollars) out from Nigeria, before Mohammed will open up to the Security Agents. To this regard l am soliciting for your assistance to claim the boxes containing the money in any country outside Nigeria where l can arrange and move the money to.

I shall be ready to negotiate with you any percentage you might want from the sum. On your advise l shall be ready to invest my own share of the sum in your country. I assure you that there will be no problems at all in the course of moving out the money. I shall give you details as soon as you accept assisting me.

Please kindly contact me on my private telephone as stated below I shall so much appreciate your immediate response for full details of the business.

Thanking you in anticipation to your kind understanding and cooperation. Please when replying
send me your private telephone and fax numbers . You can reply to the mail address above.
