LADY MARYAM ABACHA
ABACHA COURT
GIDADOROAD
KANO NIGERIA
ATTN:
Sir,
I am Lady Maryam Abacha, wife of the Late Gen. Sani Abacha, Ex-millitary Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who died on 8th June 1998 of heart problems. I am contacting you because of the need to deal with persons whom my family and I have no previous personal relationships. This is for security reasons.
Since the death of my husband, my family had been subjected to all sorts of harassment and intimidation with lots of negative reports emanating from the government and the press about my husband, it is because the present Government that succeeded him are made up of mostly his enemies.
Recently, I was banned from travelling outside Kano State my home state as a kind of house arrest. It is in view of this that I seek your co-operation and assistance in the transfer of the sum of US$78,000,000.00 (Seventy Eight Million United States Dollars cash) being the very last of my family fund in my possession and control. As earlier attempt in the physical movement of the sum of US$31,000,000.00 was to no avail as the money was confiscated and my international passport impounded at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos in August 1998.
The Federal Government has seized all our properties and frozen all our bank accounts both local and international, but my only hope now is the available US$78,000,000.00, which my late husband carefully packed and deposited with a Security Company in Ghana a West African country as a ' PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS? where my brother in-law is working as a General Manager when my husband died.
If you are willing to assist us in receiving this money on our behalf, please contact my Lawyer, BARRISTER jam jambojet immediately on E-mail:
jam_jambojet@yahoo.com,
discuss and negotiate you reward which I can assure you will be very substantial, the moment we get go-ahead order from you, we have necessary legal documents to back up the money, which we are ready to prepare on your name.
Awaiting to receiving your unalloyed respond immediately.
Best regards,
MARYAM ABACHA
I replied using the name Stuart de Baker Hawke (call me Stew). I seem to have lost that reply but the next day both Maryam and her lawyer Jam Jambojet replied to me. (Jam Jambojet??)
FROM JAM JAMBOJETTO Stew
Sir,
Thanks for your wiliness to help us invest this fund abroad. I am Barrister Jam Jambojet a confidant to Mrs. Mariam Abacha the wife of Our Late Head of State and commander in chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces. When the husband of Mrs Abacha was the head of State and commander in Nigeria, he made a lot of money from the commission been giving to him by Foreign Contractors he was giving contracts for the lifting or our Netural Oil (Crude Oil) After his death on 8th June, 1998 from heart failing the new government under the leadership of General Olusegun Obasanjo whom late General Abacha once jailed for planning to over throw his government subjected the family of Gen. Abacha to intimidations. His children was banned from traveling outside Nigeria, the wife under house arrest, his properties both in Nigeria and abroad was seized his bank accounts in Nigeria and abroad frozen.
But as luck may have it for the family, they have this $78 million US Dollars cash which Late Gen Abacha deposited in a security and finance company in Ghana a west African country before his death. This money is what we want you to assist the family to invest in any lucrative business of your choice. The family has agreed to give you 30% of the total amount for your assistance and will like to leave and in-trust balance of 70% in your account pending when Mrs Abacha will be free form House arrest.
I can assure you that there is no illegality associated with this money. It has nothing to do with money laundering or drug. It was genuinely acquired so there is no cause for alarm because the business is 100% risk free. My assurance to you is that as a lawyer that has practiced for over 27 years, I believe that I know the Law and will never do any thing that will dent my image or yours in this transaction.
I am expecting you to indicate in your return mail when you are going to travel to Ghana to see ourselves face to face for the collection of the fund. We have all the legal documents covering the money which we are ready to change to your name if you wish. We have a bank manager in Ghana who will help us open a non-residence Bank account on your name and lodge the money in the account for the further transfer to your country or any other country of your choice via (K.T.T) swift transfer.
Don? forget to treat this business with utmost priority regards and confidential it requires until after this transaction. Hoping to hear from you immediately don? forget to indicate your phone/fax number for easy communication.

FROM: MR. MARIAN ABACHA.
TO:
Sir,
I want to use this medium to thank you for your willingness to help me invest my fund. I don’t have much to say because Barrister Jam Jambojet must have told you everything about the problems I am facing with my family here. It is only out of wickedness that the present government want to suffer me and my children for some thing we don’t know any thing about.
The origin of the matter, is that when my husband was in power as the head of State and commander in chief of Nigeria Armed forces, the present head of State , general Olusegun Obasanjo planned coup against the government of my husband and the coup was failed and he was jailed with other officers. Now that he is out of prison, and contested election and won as the democratic president, he refuses to see any thing good in the hands of my family as if it was me and my children that jailed him.
Though , I am a happy woman now because of progress Jambojet has made for my release from house arrest with the people in power. Hopeful in no distance time I will be out of the house arrest. I don’t see any thing to justify my arrest in the first place. The government said that if they allow me to move freely , I will use my connection with some world leaders to work against the government .
Poor me , a widow. I don’t know how I can fight a whole federal government of a country instead of looking for a way to take care of my children. To me, everything is witch hunting , but I know that very soon everything will be a thing of the past. May God guide you to continue helping us. All I know is that your efforts will never be in vain. God bless you.
I remain , your faithfully.
Mrs. Marian Abacha.
NB: Please always get in touch with me.
..............................................
Hm Mrs Abacha semms to have forgoten how to spell her name. Lady Maryam, Mr Marian or Mrs Marian. Oh well Stew de Baker Hawke does't care.
..............................................Dear Mr Jambojet
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Please allow me to introduce myself I am a man of wealth and taste and so of course I am pleased to get you assurance that the money is not illegal in any way.
I have never been to Ghana before but I do sometimes fly to London or Paris on business and as luck would have it I could fly to Paris late next week. I hadn't really intended to, my assitant was going to go. But I could change the arrangments if it is really necessary.
I don't think it would be a good idea to fax me anything as my secretary may read it. Could you send me the passport copy by e-mail?
Anyway for 30% of $75 million I am willing to be in Ghana next week. How should I contact you when I get there? What city would I fly into from Paris? I don't know much about Ghana at all is it a fairly safe country? Are there any wars on or anything? Please tell me more about Ghana via e-mail as soon as you can. I will contact my travel agent today and find out about flights.
Sincerley Yours
Stuart de Baker Hawke (Stew)

Dear Sir.
Thanks for your massage. There is a political problem in Ghana now. The supporters of the opposition are battling the supporters of the President. The atmosphere is no longer conducivefor our business. Do not bother to make arrangement to come to Ghana any more. In themeantime, we are making arrangement to carry the "Consignment" to Madrid, Spain. The security company here has a sister company in Madrid, Spain. Some state security men here are arranging a diplomatic delivery of the consignment. They do not know what the items are but they will be paid for their efforts. I think Spain will be convenient for you. As it is now, I am making serious efforts to safe guide the consignment.
The only problem I envisage is that the security company here may require me to pay their accumulated charges before the consignment could be transported to Spain. The company has been keeping custody of thematter without knowing the content. I have asked them to work out the details of their charges before the end of today. I have also asked the person arranging the diplomatic bag to advise me on his fees for it. I hope to have the details of the amount before your reply. My passport is coming as you requested. Also send me yours for proper identification. Please treat as most urgent. Please take note of this e-mail address specially for this transaction. Send all replies via this e-mail address jambojet11@yahoo.com only.
Awaiting your instant reply.
Best Regards,
Jam Jambojet (Esq)

Hello Mr Jambojet.
I wonder why I am not surprised about the trouble in Ghana? That part of the world always seems to be in political turmoil. I agree Spain would be much better. Where do you want me to go Madrid? Barcelona?
However things a happening a bit quicker that I thought. It seems I will be in Europe by June 25th. That's next Tuesday. My business there will take a couple of days so I could be in Spain on Friday the 28th. How would that suit you? I would rent a car probably and drive there. Then I could move around as I like. I would only have until the following Monday before having to fly home. Could we complete our deal by then? This is all quite convenient for me I always wanted to have a look at Spain while in Europe but I never seemed to manage to make the time.
I don't have my passport with me at the moment (I am in the office and it is at home) I will send it to you tomorrow.
Now this is important because of the timing. I will have to leave for Europe on Monday at the latest so it is vital that we complete all preliminary work before then. I will of course be able to mail you from Paris but I am likely to be busy and by that time it may be difficult to change our plans. So let me know TOMORROW where and when to meet you. Then whatever happens I will be there.
Stew
P.S. say hello to Mrs Abacha for me and tell her not to worry. It seems like her fate is in good hands.
..............................................
JamboJet Wants money already, no flies on this boy.
..............................................Dear Sir.
I have received your messages. I must say that everything is moving according to plans. The people that are helping me have concluded plans on the diplomatic transportation of the consignment. As soon as the consignment leaves Ghana, I will give you the PIN/SECURITY CODE of the consignment so that you will be identified there. However, there is little problem which I would want you to assist me solve immediately. The security company in Ghana has release their custody charges which is US$37,000.00 while the officers in the Ghana presidency that have arranged the diplomatic transportation will be given US$50,000.00 for their efforts. The total money I need urgently is US$87,500.00. I just spoke with Madam today, she is not in a position to raise the cash immediately because her movement and activities are closely being monitored. She does not want to do anything or speak to anybody in order not to jeopardize the situation. I am making personal efforts to raise some money on my own now. My efforts alone may lead to undue delay because the process has been put into motion already. Consequently, could you please raise the money for me as loan. You will be permitted to deduct it in Madrid, Spain before you take your agreed percentage. I must pay these people in Ghana before the consignment can move. It is also impossible to tamper with the consignment in Ghana for fear that people must not know what is in the consignment. As soon as the consignment moves, I am going to give you the address and contact of the people you will meet. I will also give you official papers authorizing the people to deal with you as the owner of the fund. I am also going to be in Madrid, Spain my self so that we can see face to face. I must hear from you today please.
Best Regards,
Jam Jambojet (Esq)
NB: Please confirm your telephone numbers, And also your cell phone. Very Important please.
..............................................
Hello Mr Jambojet and Mrs Abacha
It is a bit late to raise that amount of money before I leave for Paris with the weekend coming soon and I only have about $20,000 on my credit card. However this is what I plan to do. I have arranged with my bank manager over the phone to transfer $90,000 out of one of my investment accounts into my credit card. I will go and sign the papers shortly. This transfer will take 3 working days and so will not be available until next Wednesday. By then I will be in Paris. I will of course be able to access the internet from my hotel. I will mail you from there also. So does the security company accept credid card payments over the internet. If so send me their details and I will pay them that way. If not we will have to work something out when we meet in Spain.
These diplomatic fellows seem a bit greedy don't you think? $50,000 for helping to move a few boxes? I assume they want to be paid in advance and I don't suppose they will accept payment over the internet. These sort of greedy fellows usually want cash that's untraceable. Perhaps I will have to pop over to Ghana after all. We can work it out when I get there.
Now then when I get to Spain I will be staying at the Carlton Hotel 26 Paseo de las Delicias. It is near the Atocha train station. I propose we meet there for dinner next Friday the 28th of June. At say 8.00pm, just ask for me at the front desk. I will tell them to expect you. I have arranged things so I can stay one week from that day so perhaps we can finish this business before I have to go home. If not at least we will have plenty of time to make arrangements.
This will probably be my last chance to mail you until I am in France so if the timingfor our meeting is not suitable to you let me know and don't worry if you don't hear back from me until next week. Just let me know a better time for you.
Also you won't be able to phone me until then either and I don't think my mobile phone will work in France. I will take it anyway and see. Maybe I can get a temporary connection when I get there.
Yours
Stew de Baker Hawke
..............................................
Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke (Stew) Dear Sir. I am surprised that I have not heard from you until now. The Friday 28th June, 2002 Madrid meeting is at the corner and nothing has happened. The people have not been paid and the consignment has not been transported. Please let me know immediately when I will receive the fund so that I can conclude. Please treat as urgent. Best Regards, Jam Jambojet (Esq) ..............................................
Dear Mr Jambojet It may interest you to know that as I was flying in an airplane it was a little difficult to mail you before now. I am in Paris and it is about 2.30 in the morning. It has been a very long day. I intend to get some sleep soon. Now then, tomorrow I have to meet with clients. They have a meeting agenda worked out for me and are taking me to dinner in the evening. I will check my mail and mail you after that. As I am in a strange city and will be very busy while I am here it may take me a day or so to sort out the money. Could we sort it out when we meet in Spain? If I flew instead of driving I could be there on Thursday or even Wednesday if I can conclude my business tomorrow ( actually I suppose I mean today as It's now officially Tuesday morning ). Also I have been thinking, I suppose I COULD even fly to Ghana instead. I still have over $80,000 on my credit card which should be plenty for general expenses. The Friday meeting is still fine with me if you want or we could change it to the same time on Thursday. I don't know how long it takes to fly from Paris to Ghana but I am sure it wouldn't take long to get to Madrid, perhaps an hour? I am sorry, I am so tired perhaps you could get back to me and tell me what you think. We can make the final arrangements then. Yours Faithfully Stew ..............................................
Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke (Stew) Dear Sir. I have read through your message today Tuesday. I can understand your difficult work schedule. In any case, we shall try to meet our own agenda. The only problem now is that I have not been able to pay the company and those security personnel. I am eager to meet you in Madrid this week. However, I have here again the bank account where you will put the fund. The details are as follows. CITI BANK N.A WALL STREET, NEW YORK NY 10048-0001 CHIPS NO: 0008 ABA NO: 021000089 SWIFT CODE: CITI US33 A/C NO: 36003318 A/C NAME: AL-ASHEERA TRADING CO. LCC Try your best to send this money by Wednesday. As soon as the money arrives tomorrow, the people would be paid and the consignment will be transported immediately. Send me receipt of payment through e-mail as evidence that money has been sent. Again, there is no further need for you to come to Ghana. The arrangement has been concluded already. Therefore, remove Ghana from your schedule totally. Please reply immediately so that I can know what to expect tomorrow. Best Regards, Jam Jambojet (Esq) NB: Please confirm your telephone numbers, And also your cell phone. We need to talk please. ..............................................
Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke (Stew)

Hoping To Hear From You Immediately
Yours Maria Abacha
..............................................
Mr Jambojet
What is this about? Are you serious?
Let me say that I have been in meetings all day and then my Parisian friends took me out to dinner and a show and then drinking fine french wine and brandy so if this mail seems a little rough it's because, as we say I am a bit "tired and emotinal" (drunk) just know. And it is very late.
So, you have me come all the way to Europe, to meet you in Spain and when I get here you tell me that you want ME to put some FUND (?) in a bank on WALL ST. which is about 5 blocks from my office where I started from. Please Mr Jambojet what do you mean? Why did you have me come all this way to put money in a bank in New York. I even have accounts with Citi Bank. Although not at that branch.
You dissapoint me greatly Mr Jambojet.
Anyway it is to late at night now to do any banking here. in the morning I have to go and sign the final copies of the contracts for my business here. That means I could probably be in Spain tomorrw (Wed) aftrnoon. Will you meet me there? If not send me the details of the security company in Ghana and I will go there and pay them and make arrangeents to move the money. I have no doubt I can manage that. Probably better than you, the way you seem to do business.
Please tell me the earliest you can be in Madrid. Remember The Carlton Hotel 26 de las Delicas.
Stew
..............................................
Dear Mrs Abacha
If Mr Jambojet has brifed you on what we have been doing then you will know that he asked me to come to Europe to meet him in Madrid Spain. Actually that has turned out quite well. I have managed to do some good business in Paris on the way. Better than if I had sent my assistant.
However now that I have come all this way Mr Jambojet tells me to put money in a bank in NEW YORK only FIVE BLOCKS from my office there.
What do you think of that?
Personaly I think it is ridiculass.
I can be in Spain as early as tomorrow (Wed) afternoon I think. Please instruct Mr Jambojet to meet me there as soon as he can. Anytime before next week is fine with me. Get him to tell me when he will arrive he knows my hotel details.
Also could you please forward me the details of the security company in Ghana that has your money. I am sure I could do a better job of getting it to you than Mr Jambojet. I have nearly $100,000 on my credit card to pay any expenses. Thank you for the picture of the money it looks very nice doesn't it.
I am very tired know I have been out very late with my clients here. I saw a map of the world yesterday and it looked like Nigeria was in a similar time zone to here perhaps a bit earlier. That may make it difficult for you to contact me before I meet my clients again in the morning. Depending how that goes I may mail you next from Spain. I will see.
Please send me the details of the company in Ghana and don't worry. Your future wealth is in good hands with me I will not fail you.
Yours Sincerly
Stuart de Baker Hawke
..............................................
Obviously there is no company in Ghana to send details of.
..............................................Ah well it's morning in Paris
Actually I suppose I should apologise for the tone of last nights mail. I when I checked this morning I noticed a mail I had missed. It seems that when I was on the flight Mr Jambojet sent me the bank details probably thinking I was still in New York. I didn't notice it and just replied to the last mail when I arrived here. Sorry.
Anyway I will be off now to sign my contracts.
I will try to get to Spain later today and mail you from there. Let me know what's happening.
Please send me the details of the company in Ghana. Don't worry I don't expect to be able to collect the money I will leave that to you. But I will pay the fees and help you get it out of the country if you like.
Stew (who feels like his head has been hit with a hammer)
..............................................
Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke (Stew)
Dear Sir.
I got your two (2) messages. I am happy that you confirmed that you missed one of the messages. In any case, Madam just sent a message to me. She said you mailed her today. Her position is that you should forget about coming to Ghana. She also said that your presence in Ghana and the fact that you will be seen arranging to release a consignment that has been there for some time may raise some security fears. The Government of the place and the company may begin to wonder or suspect what is in these consignment. Madam said no mistake should be made at all. She promised to mail you before the end of today. As it is now, try your best to see how you can use your credit card to send the money to the bank account provided or you can instruct your bank to make the transfer today. I can still conclude everything and meet you in Madrid, Spain at least by the weekend. I am waiting. Best Regards,
Jam Jambojet (Esq)
NB: Please confirm your telephone numbers, And also your cell phone or you give me your Hotel and Room numbers. Very Important please.
..............................................
Ah so that's the problem with Ghana, still wants those phone numbers though. Time to turn the screws a bit.
..............................................Mr Jambojet
I am still in Paris, there was some extra work to do on the contract that was not forseen. Then we went out on the town again.
Now then, as I have asked you a couple of times for the details of the company in Ghana and you have not provided any that worries me. Is there something about them you don't want me to know. I feel you are not being very honest with me Mr Jambojet. You want this company to be paid but you won't tell me who they are. You want me to pay money into a bank in New York but I don't know who's bank it is. Any simple mistake with the account numbers at any stage and the money would be lost. This is no way to do business Mr Jambojet.
So I have been thinking and this is my deal. Tell me the details of the company in Ghana or meet me in Spain before next Monday or the deal is off. I have had a nice holiday, wrote a very good contract so I am happy with how things have gone.It seems to me that you need me more than I need you Mr Jambojet. So we play my way or not at all. Take your choice.
I await your reply
Stuart de Baker Hawke
..............................................
Dear Mrs Abacha
Once again I find I must mail you directly to express my disquiet about how this affair is progressing. That Jambojet fellow seems to be a complete fool. How well do you know him, are you sure he can be trusted? I fear that your money my be in danger of being lost.
Consider this.
First he tells me that he will meet me in Madrid. That is fine. Then he tells me to put money in a bank in New York, but why, when I am close to where he arranged to meet me in the first place. It was HIS idea to meet in Spain. HE wanted me to go there. He will not tell me the details of the company in Ghana. See this extract from his mail to me
^^^^^ Her position is that you should forget about coming to Ghana. She also said that your presence in Ghana and the fact that you will be seen arranging to release a consignment that has been there for some time may raise some security fears. The Government of the place and the company may begin to wonder or suspect what is in these consignment. ^^^^^
Now tell me what does he think I am going to do? March up to the government of Ghana and tell them "hey it's me, an American, come here to collect two secret boxes of money" That's foolish. I don't suppose the security company would give ME the boxes anyway. However I expect they would accept money off me to pay for their storage and then release them to you.
I am sorry Mrs Abacha and I do understand your difficulties but if you insist in putting your affairs in the hands of this Jambojet fellow and he continues to act as he has been acting then I am afraid I cannot help you.
Send me the deatils of the company in Ghana, instruct you lawyer or other representative to meet with me in Madrid before the end of next weekend or I will take my $100,000 and go home.
Stuart de Baker Hawke
..............................................
Hello Mr Jambojet
Well another morning in Paris. My business here is concluded and today I will go to Spain. Either you will meet me there or send me the details of the company in Ghana or I will go home on Monday.
Still I am happy. I have done a good deal here and I am having a nice holiday. I always wanted to vist Spain.
Stew

It worked off to spain we go.
..............................................Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke (Stew)
Dear Sir.
I must tell you that I have received madam's instruction on the most urgent step to take. Madam had by last night spoken to a good friend of her late husbanded in Ghana and the arrangement is better now. An arrangement has been brokered whereby the consignment will be transported to Madrid, Spain this evening. The diplomatic personnel's have also agreed to do their work but their payment will be handle over to the company in Madrid Spain. You will give them the money when you arrive Spain. The man the Madam talked with made all these arrangement and created the understanding. As it is, the consignment will arrive Spain tomorrow Friday, I am personally pleased with the situation now.
I am going to send you the information from the company detailing the shipment of the consignment to Madrid, Spain so that you can be identified in Spain. And also contact of their associates in Spain. I am receiving the information in few hours time.
As soon as the papers are available I will send them to you today.
Madam talked of sending you a message today. When are you arriving Spain? Let me know as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Jam Jambojet (Esq) ..............................................
My Dear Hawke,
I have made new arrangement and secured new understanding. An old friend of my late husband in Ghana has reached an understanding for the company to release the boxes. He also got the boys to transport the items without receiving the fees first. The items will leave for Spain this evening. I can confirm that now. The arrangement is that you should pay the company's agents in Spain before the release the boxes. Also the boys agreed that their money be given to the company agents in Spain. The company people will send the money to the boys. In-fact that man did everything. I don't know how he made the break through. I have asked the lawyer to go to Ghana. He will ensure the items are transported before he returns in the evening. I am going to send some one else who will meet you in Spain tomorrow friday in your hotel. Please confirm hotel address and phone number and Room number. As soon as the lawyer is back from Ghana, the necessary papers that will enable you receive the items in Spain will be sent to you. Please channel all correspondence to this e-mail: mariamabacha1965@yahoo.com It is very confidential. I am grateful for the efforts you are making. God will reward you. Let me hear from you as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Mariam Abacha

My Dear Hawke,
I am very surprised not to hear from you uptil now. Are you alright? Please I take the almighty God beg you, get intouch with me as quickly as possible. I am restless now, because I don't know what happen to you. Like I have told you on my previous message to you on friday, Mr. Ahmed Bada whom I sent to Spain is already there waiting to hear from you. Are you in Spain or you have gone back to America? Mr. Hawke, this is very un-usual behavior from you. Please for God's sake, reach me on this my confidential e-mail address mariamabacha1965@yahoo.com am worried about you. Let me hear from you to know your situation. I am waiting please. May the almighty God bless you as you are trying to assist me in this matter.
Sincerely Yours,

..............................................
How does she expect me to mail from the airplane, besides I've been sick.
..............................................Hello
I am sorry that I have been out of touch but I have food poisoning.
Let me explain the full story. First of all when I arrived in Madrid I found I couldn't stay at the Carlton because I had come a day early and they didn't have a room for me. So I went to a different hotel. After booking in I went for a walk and stopped at a small restraunt / cafe for dinner. That was the problem. I suspect the shrimp I had there caused my illness. The next morning (Saturday) I was suffering from severe stomache pains and the hotel sent me a doctor. He put me in hospital for safety. I am out now a back at the hotel but I can move very far from the toilet. The doctor says I should be O.K. tomorrow.
The Carlton Hotel canceled my booking due to misunderstanding me and my moblie phone won't work here. I will send you details later.
When I am well (soon I hope) it would seem best if I find your friend Mr Bada. How could I do that? does he have a mobile I can ring? Or can you send me his hotel etc details? If I was to meet him somewhere in Madrid it might be handy if we new what each other looked like. I don't have a photo I can send you but I could find a photo booth and get one tomorrow. The hotel has business computing facilities including a scanner guests can use. Can you send a picture of Mr Bada? Or describe him? From his name is he Arabic or a Negro? Is he big, small fat, thin, beard? You know what I mean.
I am now confident we can conclude our business soon. I don't have to go back to the states until the end of this week. That should give us time.
Yours
Stew
..............................................
Good morning Mrs Abacha
It is about 11.30 here in Madrid and I feel MUCH better. Still a bit weak and feeble though. I am supposed to go back to the hospital for a general check over today so I was hoping you were on line now. I can't remember the time zone I worked out form the map I saw.

..............................................Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke
My Dear Hawke,
I have seen the questions you raised. Certainly, there is no problem with that. I wish to confirm that I wrote those messages asking you to contact the lawyers. Those (3) lawyers worked for my husband when he was alive. I was very desperate then. The idea was that any of them you contact, I will quickly settle for that one. When you eventually contacted Barrister Jam Jambojet, that is the one I am now using. In any case, that is not the issue now. what is the situation at Madrid? Where are you now? Could you please tell me what you are doing. Mr. Bada has been there since Friday without seeing you. let me hear from you now.
Sincerely Yours,
Mrs. Mariam Abacha

Attn: Mr. Stuart de Baker Hawke
My Dear Hawke,
I am surprised by the tune of events. You are acting like somebody laying ambush. That’s what my husband used to call it during 1967 - 1970 Nigerian civil war. How come you did not tell me all these from the beginning. You received all these faceless messages and you still played along with me. I am deeply disappointed in what you are doing now. You told me that you are in Spain and that you are sick. How can you reconcile that with these new approach? Now, you exposed me into moving my consignment to Spain at high risk and you are now soft pedaling. You gave the impression that you have the capacity to conclude this transaction. I now have my doubts. I told you Mr. Bada is coming to Spain, he has been there but you ignored him. With what you are saying, how safe do I feel if you handle this issue. About the numerous messages in my name, I have the feeling that one of the lawyers that worked with my husband wanted to be funny. In Nigeria, once businessmen see or hear something that is genuine, the make imitation of it and they try to dupe people with the imitation. You must understand what I mean. Please if you are not in Spain, kindly inform me so that Mr. Bada can return. I am happy my consignment is safe in Spain. I can make alternative arrangement from there.
Sincerely Yours,
.................................................
Finally? We will see.
.................................................
Mariam (or whatever your name is)
You say you are suprised. Well imagine how suprised I am. While I was sick I took the oppertunity to do a bit of research on Maryam Abacha and you have seen some of what I found. These were not mails sent to me they are easily found on the internet by searching the Abacha name. There are also stories about what happens to people who meet up with purported representatives of Mrs Abacha. Not a nice experience it seems. I am glad I found out about you in time. Today I will go to the Spanish police and see if they can do anything. I hope they can. Then I will go home. Obviously there is no money stored in Ghana, that explains why you could not give me details of the security company. To try to have me believe that out of all those Abachas you are the only real one beggars belief. They and you are all just scam artists trying to steal the money of other people. You are a con man and a crook. There is no consignment in Spain just some thug or thugs hoping to rob me and perhaps even kill me. I am sure the Citi Bank in New York will be interested in those account details you sent me and probably the F.B.I. as well. Anyway I can see no point in contiuing this farce any longer. This will be my last mail on the issue. I hope you end up in a nice Nigerian gaol. That is all you deserve.
Goodbye to you
Stew

I Just read David Lee Roth's latest update that Jambojet is amazing. First he is in Ghana (Stew) and Amsterdam at the same time (to meet Irma Toole) and now (David) he is not only DEAD AT THE SAME TIME but may get out of hospital next week. WOW what a guy. :o)
Any word on "Lady Agatha" ? "David Lee Roth" is sticking it to him quite well. Irma Toole is supposed to meet Jambojet in Holland in the next day or so and send $50,000 dollars first.

COMPUTER SCIENTIST, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
TEL:: 234-80-33344830

DATE: 5TH JULY, 2002.
Sir,
CONFIDENTIAL
I, Dr. Tony Adams and three other senior staffs of the International Remittance/Telex/Computer Unit Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria has been anxiously looking for a foreign partner who could help us to finalize this gold fortune transaction. Your contact was given to us by a senior staff of Nigeria chamber of Commerce and Industries in Abuja.
In view of this business proposal at hand, we have concluded all arrangement for the successful conclusion of this transaction without a hitch or involvement in any kind of scandal.
Following the on going foreign contractors payment for this quarter of this 2002 fiscal year by the Federal Government of Nigeria, I and three other members of the International Remittance/Telex Computer Unite Department of Central Bank has successfully gazzetted into an electronic computeronic diskette the contract information/details on contract No.: NNPC/PED/2039/97 for contract valued at US$280,500,000.00M executed with the Federal Government of Nigeria. The above contract information belongs to one certain contractor from Canada, who died late last year 2001 living the funds floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria as an outstanding contract payment with the Federal Government of Nigeria. Several attempt has been made to find the next -of-kin or relative to the Late Mr. Brown Regan to make a claim on this outstanding fund but there has been no success. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of late Brown Regan’s next-of-kin (he had no wife nor children that is known to us), that the management under the influence of the Board of Directors, Telex Computer Unit Department requested that arrangement be made for the funds to be declared UNCLAIMABLE” and subsequently donated to the ECOMOG Soldiers, to further perpetrate war in Africa and the world at large.
In order to prevent this, I, Dr. Tony Adams and three of my trusted colleagues now seek your permission to have you stand as a next-of-kin to Late Mr. Brown Regan so that the funds US$280.5M would be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary’s next-of-kin. All documents to enable you get this fund as the next of kin will be carefully worked out. This proposal is 100% risk-free.
We have agreed that, the funds be shared thus, after it must have been transferred into your account. 1. 40% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds. 2. 10% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for any incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transfer. 3. 50% to us the originators of the transaction. If this proposal is acceptable to you, then take advantage of the trust we have bestowed on you and your company, and kindly get to me immediately.
Please furnish me with your most confidential telephone and fax number for easy communication after which I will discuss the modalities for the final conclusion of this transaction with you. It will take only seven working days (7) to telex/wire the money into your bank account.
Anxiously awaiting for your urgent reply upon receipt of this message for further clarification.
Thank you very much for your anticipated co-operation
Yours faithfully,
DR. TONY ADAMS

And still they come
..............................................
Stew de Baker Hawke replies
..............................................
Dear Mr Adams
You have to be kidding.
I have just come all the way to Europe because of a scam to steal my money. For you to think that I could be scammed again is amazing.
Do you know of a Mr Jam Jambojet?
Yes I know the name is stupid and to be laughed at. However he almost had me giving him so much money you wouldn't belive it.
I am NOT INTERSTED in any more too good to be true deals.
I am returning home to New York this evening and have no desire to engage in any more deals.
However if you really are serious and a computer scientist then answer me this.
If y = x then +
next
If x = z then -
for
assuming
y=0
z=1
solve for x
It's a simple problem they gave me in high school. I could never work it out but I still have the book with the answer in it.
SO IF YOU REALLY ARE A COMPUTER SCIENTIST.
Answer the question.
..............................................
Not a real computer science question just in case you were wondering. However I was up late so I had another go at him, abit harder this time. The title of his mail to me was "Is a pleasure"
..............................................Yes it is a pleasure
Thank you for the opertunity. As I am still in Spain but leaving soon for the safety of New York allow me a moment to explain. It's simple.
COME AND SEE ME
NO PROBLEM
You think you are a tough guy. well I beg to differ.
YOU ARE A COWARD. JUST SOME SCUM
When I shove my shotgun up your bum and pull the trigger it will be more than your balls that are blown off.
Trust me I am good at it.
By the way I do know quite a bit about you, more than you know about me.
You are not the first FUCKING RATBABAG that I have sent to his just deserts.
Oh and please don't expect me to tell you what I know, it doesn't work like that.

Now then
you have the bank details so that won't be a problem anymore. Let's see about the rest of your letter.
So Tony Adams who is a computer scientist hey.
I don't think so. Consider this, If you were a computer scientist you would know how to do what I do. For example if you knew how to analyse this e-mail you would think it comes from a large university in a different country to me. When actually I am sitting happily at home in the US.
However I know how to do that and I know you are using the same ISP account as Maryam Abacha, Miriam Abacha, Marian Abacha and Jam Jambojet. You can't even fake that. USELESS

Who is that Irma girl? Not to mention the others (yeah I won't mention them why give you too many clues)
Anyway I mailed her and told her what you are up to.
I will get to the rest soonish. Irma seemed a bit more urgent. Got her in Amsterdam hey. Going to kill her are you?

The origin of the matter is that, when my husband was in power, as the head of state and commander in Chief of Nigeria Armed forces, the present head of state, General Olusegun Obasanjo, planned coup against the Government of my husband and the coup was foiled and he was jailed with other officers.
Now that he is out of prison, he contested Election and won as the democratic Elected president, since then, he refused to see anything good in the hands of my family as if it was me and my children that jailed him. He has subjected my family to intimidation’s. My children were banned from travelling out side Nigeria while I was subjected to house arrest since 1999 he came to power till date. Our properties both in Nigeria and abroad was seized, our Bank accounts in Nigeria and abroad frozen.
The government said that if they allow me to move freely, I will use my connection with world leaders to work against his government. Poor me, a widow, I don’t know how I can fight a whole federal government of a country instead of looking for a way to take care of my children to me, every thing is witch hunting because I don’t see any thing to justify my arrest.
But as God may have it for my family, we have $78 million US Dollars case which my late husband deposited in a security and finance company in Ghana, a west Africa county before his death. This money is what we want you to assist my family to invest in any lucrative business of your choice in your county or any other country. My family has agreed to give you 30% of this $78 million for your assistance and will like to intrust our balance of 7% in your account pending when I will be free from this illegal house arrest.
I can assure you that there is no illegality associated with this money. It has nothing to do with money laundering or drug. It was genially acquired, so there is no cause for alarm because the business is 100% risk free. My assurance to you as your fellow woman is that I will never involve you in any thing that will dent my image or yours. We have all the legal documents to cover the money which if you wish, we can change to your name.
We have also made arrangement with a Bank Manager in Ghana who will help us to open a non- residence Bank account on your name and lodge the money there for further transfer to your country or any other county of your choice via swift Transfer (K.T.T). don’t forget to treat this business with utmost priority, regards and confidentiality it requires, until after this transaction. Hoping that this will be the beginning of a good business relationship that will enhance our future. As we proceed, I will give to you relevant documents that covers this transactions, Hoping to hear from you immediately and don’t forget to give me your private phone number for easy communication. Please reply immediately so that this money will be in your account before this week runs out. May God guard you to continue helping us. All I know is that your efforts will never be in vain. God bless you.
MRS. MARIAM ABACHA.

Hello Marian dear.
That is the saddest story I have ever heard.
How could those terrible people treat you like that?
I am afraid if you ring me at home though my husband will find out about you. I don't know if I should tell him. He hits me sometimes if he thinks I am doing something he doesn't like.
I don't know what I can do to help. Perhaps I could go to the newspapers and television and try to start an international campaign to bring pressure on your government. How would you like that? or would you get into more trouble?
Tell me what I should do.
Irma

Thank you for your mail. You can use any name to open the account and the bank in Ghana can transfer the money to any country as you directed. Just give us the name you want to use so that we will open the account with the name. There is another problem here now, my lawyer came back from Ghana yesterday with a sad news from the security company. The security company said that the maturity date for the deposited consignment has since expired, for this reason, we have to pay $10,000 dollars as demurrage before collection of the box. Infact, I was dumb founded hearing the news because the main problem now is that Federal Government here has seized all our bank account, which is to say that there is no way I can raise this money and I can’t reach out to people because of my problems. It is only my lawyer that is allowed to see me. I have discussed this problem with my lawyer and he said that he will look for a way to raise the sum of $6,000 dollars living behind the balance of $4, 000 dollars.
Please I want to know if there is any way you can help me to raise the balance of $4,000 dollars so that we will pay this people and collect the box containing the money. It is not in my system asking people for money more especially you that I don’t know, coupled with the fact that I never told you that you are going to involve money in this transaction, but mind you that this monetary issue came to me as a surprise because I least expected it. All I thought was that the moment we provide the necessary documents covering the deposit, we will just collect the money open account, pay in and transfer to your account.
You see, the major problem that made me to ask you for a help is that the security company does not know that the real contents of the box is money because it was deposited as a photographic material. We don’t even want them to know what the real contents are for security reasons. For this reason, there is no way we can open the box before them because it will amount to taking a big risk because they might raise alarm.
Please Irma, consider my problems here and look for a way to help me out so that we will collect this money from the security company and lodge same in the bank account in Ghana and further the transfer to your account in your country before this week runs out. If you can help us, I am ready to give to you up to 40% of the total amount. Remember you that I take you to be my God on earth now . remember you that I am a woman like you. remember that I have no other person to run to but you.
I am suffering here and all the people my husband made millionaire when he was alive have all ran away from me and my children believing that this problem will be the end of my life. When I remember all these things, I always feel like committing suicide.
Just imagine me, that my husband deposited over a billion United State dollars in Banks Abroad looking for $4,000 dollars. It is now that I believe that no condition is permanent. May God help me to succeed. I take you to be my everything, please help me out. Hoping to hear from you.
Best regard and God’s guidance.
Mrs. Marian Abacha.

Dearest Maria
First let me just say don't worry. Of course I will help you with the money. $4,000 is only a small amount in fact I could easily help with the $10,000 if you wish.
But first let me tell you some things that are a bit secret. I trust you not to tell anyone about this not even your lawyer. In fact probably especialy any lawyers or honest legal type people. You see my husband is in fact a drug dealer. There I have told you, so don't betray me if anyone found out, well you can imagine. Now that you know that I will tell you some more about him. He also imports drugs, mostly from Asia through Hong Kong. He is in Hong Kong at the moment.
In his so called "business" he always deals in cash for obvious reasons. He has boxes of cash stashed all around the house. I could easily just post it to you. Or if you have a bank account I could put it in there for you. I don't care I hate him and would love to take some of his money for you. I only stay with him for the sake of my daughter who is only three years old.
Compared to the millions of dollars we are dealing with here a few thousand is nothing, and with the millions I will be able to leave my husband and my daughter and I will be rich. How long do you think it will take to get the money from Ghana because I will have to put the money back eventually. My husband will be back next week so I will need to send it to you before then. As long as I get it back in the next month or so he will never notice it is missing. Would that be O.K.?
So all I need to know is. How much do you need $4000 or $10,000? How do you want me to send it? In cash to an address would be easy for me but what if the money is lost or stolen on the way? How safe would that be where you live? Putting it directly into your bank account seems safest but I am not sure how to do that from here. If you had an account say with the Bank of China in Hong Kong or a major Swiss bank that has branches in Sydney Australia that would probably be good.
The other thing I am thinking I would like to do is to set my husband up with a fake drug deal. I know that sounds horrible but he deserves it. Then we could send him to Hong Kong or maybe even Africa if the deal seems profitable enough for him. He is greedy. It would have to be for $50,000 or so to interest him. Then he would arrive with the cash, be given some fake drugs and your helpers (I assume you could find some) could have a share of the money and you could use the rest to pay the security company. Then we would all be rich. Hong Kong would seem more truethfull to him. Perhaps you could use the $6000 you can get to send someone there.
Tell me what you think or just send me your address and I will post the money tomorrow. I hope you don't think I am a bad person but this is exciting for me and I have to look after my daughter don't I?
Yours in spirit
Irma

From: Mariam Abacha
To:Iram
I got your mail this morning with an exciting news. I am short of words hearing that you want to help me out. In fact up till this moment my children are still jubilating here. Everybody is happy. even my dog is also happy because she has not met me in a joyful mude for a long time now. In fact, I don’t know what to say because I am confused. You are God sent and I pray that God will reward you.
In fact, I think that the best thing to do is for you to help us raise the whole $10,000 dollars in order to finalise the whole thing this week so that you will send the money back to your husband, because my lawyer don’t have the $6,000 dollars cash with him, he is only planning to travel to know if he can borrow from his friends.
Another thing I want to tell you is this, though I don’t know how you will fell or how it will sound to you, but I want to tell you so that every thing about this business will be through before the week runs out. The bank in Ghana is asking for international drug free certificate from us before they will help us bank the money. My lawyer has since made arrangement for it and it is ready from collection from National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, but we are yet to pay them. Thus, there money is much. Our plans before now as that the moment we collect the money from the security company, we will collect money from the box and go and pay for the drug free certificate before we will take the money to the bank.
I am thinking that it is risky keeping the money in a hotel after collection from the security company, waiting when some one will go to Nigeria to pay for the drug free certificate and come back to Ghana before talking the money to the bank because the Bank will not accept the money with out drug free certificate.
In other to be faster, can you also help with the money for the certificate since the certificate is already in place, so that when my lawyer is travelling for the collection of the box he will arm himself with the certificate in other to avoid un-necessary delay.
The total amount for the certificate is $50,000.00 Dollars (Fifty Thousand Dollars). If it is possible for you, I plead, you remit the whole money. If it is not possible, we have to do it as we planned before. I heard all you said about your husband and I must tell you that you problems are over the moment we finish this business. confidentially is always my watch word, so take me in confidence. I am not the talking type. The moment we finish this business, we have more things to do together I trust you a lot and I take you to be my blood sister, thus make sure you don’t betray me. My husband has gold Dust (Gold Block) and Diamond what over $600 million Dollars (Six Hundred Million Dollars) deposited in a security company in Saudi Arabia and I am connected to a lot of world leaders through my husband, so the moment I come out from house arrest, I will visit you and sell you to who is who in the world. Trust me, we will never suffer or be poor, the only problem is for me to be free, which will be soon because yesterday, my lawyer told me that American President Mr. Bush wrote our president telling him to leave my family alone.
If my lawyer collect the copy of the drug free certificate I am going to send it to you today. It is ready only to be signed the moment we pay.
If you want to pay the money, split it in $5,000 Dollars because the monetary law here does not allow more than $5,000 dollars to be remitted at once. Use this name:
Mr Azubuike Nwauwa, Lagos Nigeria
Mrs. Chinwe Ilokah, Lagos Nigeria
Split the money into $5,000 Dollars to this names. If they ask you whom you are sending the money to, simple tell them that you are sending it to your relation working here. Make sure you don’t disclose our business to anybody. Please try your best to remit it today and send me the control numbers. In case of emergency, contact my lawyer Barrister Jambojet on his mobile phone 234-8033057868 (24 hours) you might find difficult to get but you must get through after you keeping trying.
The best and the fastest way to send the money is through Western Union money transfer if you send it through western Union money tansfer , we are going to get it here in the next two hours.

......................................................
Wow 50 grand that's pretty optimistic, oh well.
......................................................
Dearest Mrs Abacha
This is getting very confusing. Yesterday you asked me for $4,000 and as I told you my husband has a lot of cash stashed in boxes around the house. I thought it would be O.K. for me to help you out and send $10,000 which he would hardly miss. I thought I could just post it to you in cash. Now you seem to have forgoton about that and ask for $50,000 dollars for something called an international drug free certificate. I have never heard of such a thing. Also I have been thinking about what sort of dollars you mean. I was thinking in Australian dollars but it occurs to me you may mean Nigerian dollars or even US dollars. I don't know if you have dollars in Nigeria or what they would be worth. American dollars are worth nearly twice as much as Australian dollars. I mean are you asking me for $10,000 US plus $50,000 US which would be nearly $120,000 Australian. My husband would certainly notice that was missing, it would be nearly all he has in cash in the house.
Then you tell me to send the money in $5,000 dollar amounts to Mr Azubuike Nwauwa and Mrs. Chinwe Ilokah whoever they are. Who are they?? Think about this. If you mean American dollars that would mean 12 seperate sendings. How can I walk around $120,000 on me and send $5,000 at a time. Our biggest note here is only $100. I would need 1,200 of them and my husbands money is not all in 100's there are lots of 10's 20's and 50's as well. I would have to fill my car boot with notes nearly.
Also you say I can go here to send the money. 5. cash converters pty ltd, 553 ruthven street, TooWoom ba Airport, phone 1800501500
6. Cash converters =164 Henley Beach Read, Torrensville Airport = Phone 1800501500
Are you crazy?? Cash Converters are a chain of pawn shops. They buy and sell second hand goods and lend money to people.
I have no idea what the other businesses are. I don't go to Sydney very often. It is about three hours drive from where I live. How can I do that with a car boot full of money?
Then you send me the email below, forgeting about the $10,000 which now that I think about it is quite a lot for the storage of a few boxes.
Perhaps I am all wrong and it is Nigerian dollars and perhaps they are worth much less that Aus$.
Also you say I can transfer the money via a bank in Taiwan. That might be O.K. But what on earth is GOOSE CO LTD. In Englis a goose mens a fool or an idiot (as well as the bird)Who in their right mind would name a company IDIOT CO LTD. It's not a very severe form of insult. One would call a friend a goose if they did somethig a bit silly. But still!!!! Also what on earth is a CO LTD I may be just a drug dealers wife but I went to school you know. Did you? Everybody knows that's not the proper term for a Propriety Limited Company, even me.
What happened to your lawyer Mr Jambojet why can't I just send the money to him?
I have a headache now with all this thinking and typing. I am going to have a lay down and sleep a bit. If you really want me to help you I think you should explain to me what is going on.

To:Irma
My Dear Irma,
How Are you today, I don’t know why you should take a suggestion to be an offence.
The way I reason things is not the way you see things, I didn’t put any sentiment in what I Suggested and at the same time, I was not trying to force you into helping with the money I requested for, nor did It because you told me That your husband is into drug Business. I don’t care About the business he does, I don’t even take him To Be Rich, Even If He is, I don’t care To know. Am only interested in you that I am doing Business with.
I didn’t force you into deciding to help me; you willingly decided to help me even at a risk. I advise you to close your eyes and help.
You are not doing it to mankind but God. Though you are going to Benefit from it but to me, what ever good some one does, it is only God that can reward the person, I mean Everlasting Blessing in Heaven. You asking me If I am crazy is an insult To my person but Then, will still answer your question by telling you That I am not.
All The same, somebody that has been in one place for 3 Years now should not be mentally sound but I still promise you that I am not mad yet. Mr. Azubuike Nwauwa and Mrs. Chinwe Iloka are staffs in jambojet chambers; he didn’t use his name because he is always on the move. He doesn’t want to entertain any delay that was why he uses the name of his staffs so that the moment we are through with the money, they will travel to Ghana immediately for the collection and lodgment of the money.
Goose Company is owned by a Taiwan business man here. We all know the meaning of goose in English, but it might have another meaning in Taiwan to me, I don’t see any thing in a name, all I am after is a business I want to do with a name.
Coming to cash converters, I don’t know them; we are only acting on information giving to us in western union office here. In conclusion, if the burden will be too much for you, just remitted this $10,000 US dollar so that I will do things the way we had planned it before. As you can see, this is already a weekend, I want us to make sure that we finalize everything by Monday so that we will remit the money to your account the same Monday.
Please my dear, I don’t want your brain to be getting hot so that you will not have headache.
Trust in God, because he is always in control.
I believe that this is the beginning of a good business relationship that will enhance our futures.
I want use to strive in other to seal this business and better our selves before your husband will be back from his business trip.
Best regards
Marian
N.B I AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO SEND THE SERTIFICATE THROUGH ATTACHMENT, BUT I WILL TRY TO SEND IT FOR YOU TO SEE IT.

Hello Marian dear
I am so sorry about this late relply but my husband was home all weekend and I couldn't use the computer.
Thank you for all your mails I will reply to them all in this one. Mr Jambojet sent me two mails as well. Some of the mails had pictures in them but I can't open them as I don't have corel draw. I did see the picture of the money though. WOW that's FANTASTIC.
I still wonder why you want me to send money to a goose company in Taiwan though, are you sure they are O.K. Also you didn't say whether you want Australian dollars or American or Nigerian or what. I would assume that is important. I could send you $5000 Australian today and $5000 more in a couple of days if that's alright. What do you think?
I hope you are as well as can be expected with all this trouble happening.
Oh yes I still don't understand what a "drug free certificate" is or why you need one and why it is so expensive. If you really need it for the transaction I don't know what I can do to help. Looking at all that money in the picture though make me want to try.
Yours
Irma

Oh dear US dollars and by Western Union. I sent $5000 Australian dollars yesterday to the goose company in Taiwan I hope that's O.K. You see I don't live in Sydney I live in a town called Kiama which is about three hours drive from Sydney. There might be a Western Union office in Woolongong about half an hour away from me but I don't know. I have another $5000 AUS that I was going to send to the goose company today, perhaps I will anyway. At least taking it off my husband to help you out makes me feel good. I hope I can send enough to make sure I get my share of the money. I would hate to think I am risking my husbands anger for nothing.
Are you sure Mr Jambojet is an honest man? I won't send this mail to him because I am not sure. In fact I doubt it. I think he is trying to trick you. I am pretty sure that so called "drug free certificate" is a fake. I mean my husband is a drug dealer I would know about that sort of thing if it existed. Admittedly the picture you sent looks pretty convincing but I can't imagine why such a thing would cost $50,000 US. If there really is an international drug free certificate surely I could get one in Australia ???? Personaly I think Mr Jambojet has made the whole thing up to trick you. How well do you know him? Lawyers are often cunning cheats it is common in Australia to see them in the papers charged with one fraud or another.
Don't tell him I said that of course.
I will enquire about it here for you and let you know if I can get one. But I would have to go to Woolongong or even Sydney to do it so it will take a few days. I may be able to go to Woolongong tomorrow but I usually go on Fridays to shop so it will probably have to wait till then. Do you like to shop Marian? I sometimes think that if I didn't shop I would just go mad.
I hope we can get the money soon and I can get out of here.
Oh well such is life.
Your friend
Irma

I am also pleased to note that you have remitted the sum of $ 5000 Australian Dollars to Goods company account, please will you send to me the payment slip so that I will send it to the company for them to know that such remittance was made to their account. You should remember that the $10,000 is American dollars not Australian dollars My promise is that I will never disappoint you.
Mr. Jambojet is a honest old man of 65years of age, he was minister of justice in Nigeria. The drug free certificate is a certificate that will prove that this money has no relationship with drug or money laundering it is being used all over the world, through to me what JANMBOJET said is the price of the certificate is the truth ,the certificate is priced according to the volume of money involved. Jambojet is man I can trust he’s the person who is fighting for my release from house arrest he has being a family friend for the past 20 years. I have trust in him for this reason, we don’t have anything to fear about him.
Barrister Jambojet went western union office today, and they said that there is a western union office in Woollongong. The office address is ANF-DOWNOTOWON NEWSAGENCY, 54 CROWN STREET WOLLONGONG Tel 42292512. I advice you to send the money through western union so that we get it within an hour in other to start and finalized immediately so that you will send the money back to your husband.
Money remitted to this goods company will take days before we collect the money that is why western union is better. We must do every thing possible to make sure we finalize everything about this business ,at worst, tomorrow or Friday so that we will all be happy. I do like to shop like you do but that was when I was a free woman not now that my restricted, I tried to send a copies of my international passport to you through attachment but it was not going, I will keep on trying so that you will no the person you are dealing with. May God reward for every thing done for me.
Best regards Mrs Marian.

Dearest Marian
I have to thank you so much for waking me up to life again. I just can't help looking at the picture of all that money over and over and dreaming about what it will be like when we get it. I have a plan. You see my husband wants to move his money out of the house very soon. He is worried about losing it all in case of a fire. So I will have to move fast. This is what I will do. You see my husband has to go up north to Queensland (do you know where that is?) tomorrow to do one of his drug deals. When he leaves I am going to steal all his money. Please don't think I am a bad person for that. I have to do it for all our sakes. Then I will ring the NSW and QLD Police and tell them the description and number plate of his car and where he is going. There is only one main road, along the coast, to Queensland from here and it is regularly patroled so the cops are bound to catch him. He will be put in jail. Serves him right. Then (and this is the best part) I will fill my car boot with the money take some clothes and my daughter and drive to Melbourne in the south. I have been in contact with a nice man at the HSBC bank and he has talked me through opening an account on the internet. He says there will be no problem with the cash once I get to melb. They will even send an armoured car with guards to pick it up from my hotel.
I think there must be nearly $200,000. Then the best bit HSBC is an international bank so I can take the money out anywhere. So I will fly to London. Did I ever tell you I am from England originally?? So I will have no trouble there and my husband will never find me or his dirty money. But even better once I am in London I can leave my daughter with my family over there and go to Nigeria. Yes that's right I am determined I will fly to Nigeria to help you personaly.
Won't that be wonderful? We will have lots of money and have no trouble paying for the certificate and all the rest. Then we can get your money and be rich and happy for ever. Oh I am so excited. I have never done anything like this before. You have been my inspration. Thank you, thank you. Don't worry I have a very good feeling about this. All will be well. I will keep you informed of my progress whenever I get a chance. You can expect me in Nigeria in less than two weeks. I will get a tourist visa in London. See you soon.
Your best friend
Irma
P.S.
Oh yes I nearly forgot I sent another $5000 AUS to that goose company yesterday. But we don't need to worry about any of that now. I am coming.

I got your reply and the contents were well established. Firstly, I must not forget to thank you for your efforts to see that we complete this business before this week runs out. I must also thank you once more for the second remittance of $5000 Australian Dollars you remitted to the goose company account. The problem I am having now is that the $10,000 Australian Dollars is not up to $10,000 United States dollars which is the needed sum. May I know the exchange rate of Australian dollars to American dollars. Another problem is that you did not send to me as I requested the remittance slip (payment slip or Evidence of payment), so that I will send it to the company for them to know that we made a remittance because other people are using their account for business. Though the remittance must take up to 2-3 days to get to Taiwan. This payment slip is very important so that we can collect the money from them.
May God bless you for your wonderful help. I would have preferred you sending the money through western union so that I will get it here before one hour after remittance. I am saying this so that we will finalise every thing immediately and return your wicked husband money to him without delay. You are my only hope now because Jambojet traveled to Amsterdam/Holland last night to attend international bar association meeting because he is a member of the association. Though, in his absent we don’t have any problem collecting-lodging the money in Ghana because the people he left behind are there to do it.
I understood all you said about your husband but my advice is that you don’t set him up, because I have the fear that if he happens to meet you he will kill you because the people who are into drug business can do on do. Though, what ever plans you have for him, he deserved it because you are doing it because of the way he has been treating you. I don’t know why he should be so wicked to treat you like that upon the fact that you have a baby for him. I hate him because he is a wicked man.
Coming to carrying your husband money and run away, I don’t advice you to do that to avoid the man killing you when he see you. The money he has at home is noting to the millions we are going to get in few days and have happiness and peace of mind than collecting his $200,000 dollars that will put you into problems.
We have $78million U.S. Dollars in which you have 40% share which is millions of dollars and my own 60% share shall be in your care pending when I will come out of house arrest and don’t forget that my husband left behind Gold and diamond block worth over six hundred million U.S. Dollar in Saudi Arabian Security Company. Trust me we are not going to suffer; we are going to open a joint business maybe in England or any country you suggest. I think with all this wealth, sky will be our limit.
I am to advice you to see if there is a way you can collect the $50,000 United States dollars for the drug certificate and remitted it through western union money transfer so that we will get it immediately and remit the $78million without delay. You can remit the whole $50,000 the same day and at the same western union office only that you will be sending between $5,000 to $7,000 to the names I gave to you. You can send it the same place, the same time only that they have to send $5000 or $7000 with the two names as many times as possible but different control numbers (Remittance numbers), this is because of the monetary law here, we can’t collect more than that $7000 at ago.
My advice to you again before I will drop my pen, is to be very careful with the people you are dealing with, make sure that you don’t tell any body about this business. How do you know the person working with HSBC Bank, I hope that you didn’t tell him any thing about this business. I know HSBC very well, they are also into telephone banking (authormated banking) one of my relations maintains account with them. Happy to hear that you are from England, England was post independent master of Nigeria. I will be the most happy woman meeting you in Nigeria.
Cheers, God bless and guidance. Don’t forget to try your possible best to see that we finish this business between tomorrow or at worst Friday. Reply immediately and tell me when your husband will not be around so that we can speak. If it is possible let me have your phone number.
Mrs. Abacha.

Don't worry Mrs Mariam I'm coming. Don't worry about my husband he won't kill me. I don't know about a remitance slip. The bank gave me a bit of paper each time but I just threw it away. Why didn't you tell me before? Never mind I am coming.
RIGHT NOW

From: Mrs. Abacha
To: Irma
How are you and your baby girl. Thank you for your mail today. Please Irma, I don’t believe in writing endless mails but actions. Will you please go to your bank and collect copies of the remittance slip and send it to me without delay. We can never collect this money from this people without payment slip
A lot of people here uses this Taiwan company for one business or the other, it is this payment slip that will prove and convince them that-we are the rightful owner of the money. Without it, it will look like somebody driving a car without car particulars to prove ownership of the car.
Do this immediately so that I will transfer this money to your husband before he will find out that his money is missing and kill you. You were silent over the $50,000, please advice. Moreover, please, please Irma don’t go away with this man’s money otherwise he will kill you which means that our future plans has been killed. I can get one million people that can help me but I can’t get somebody like you because you are one in a million.
Upon the fact that we have not met each other face to face you still choose to take the risk of using your husband money on my behalf, known very well that your husband is a mafia. I must tell you again that I love you, I am ready to die for you since you can take this deadly risk on my behalf, but make sure that we don’t stop along the line, that is why we must strive to accomplish everything now in order to better our futures.
Don’t forget that in every important thing one does, delay is dangerous. For this reason we must have to work fast in order to achieve our aims. As I said in my last mail to you, I will be the happiest woman on earth when I meet you in Nigeria but not with your husband money but our money that we will use and have rest of mind.
Please put more actions into this business so that we will accomplish our plans without delay, you must remember that action speaks louder that any other thing you can think of. I wait for you response with actions.
Best regards,
Mrs. Abacha
..............................................
By the way I am not a girl, I am not from Kiama all this is fake but then you knew that didn't you.
Don't worry Maria all is very well. Both me and my little girl. Her name is Anna by the way.I am in Melbourne now it is nearly lunch time here. The money is safely in the HSBC bank and this afternoon I will find a travel agent and get a flight to London. Probably tomorrow. I have heard that it is easy to get seats on aeroplanes now because people are afraid to travel after the american Sept 11th attack. Guess what the bank counted the money for me and it was $265,535. WOW that's fantastic. Don't worry about my husband he is not a mafia. He is just a stupid little prick who is to lazy and thick to get a real job. He should be it jail by now anyway. This is Australia you know. We don't have mafia here. Lot's of stupid people sell drugs if they can't get proper jobs. Most get caught eventually. It is just a matter of timing. I am glad you want action because I am acting now. I will be there soon. Tell me a bit about yourself. Do you live in a nice house? Can you describe it to me? Do you have a garden? What sort of clothes do you like to wear? Do your children live with you? This is all very exciting. But I can't go back to the bank in Kiama and get a slip now can I. Surely the Goose company dosen't get payments from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Kiama everyday they should know which deposit it was. It doesn't matter anyway. I am coming
Love
Irma
...............................................
From: Marian
To: Irma
I am worried that you backed out of my advice concerning your moving out of your husbands house. Remember you that this man may be after your life. Well, since you have taking this action, there is no going back. All I want you to do now is to look for a way to finalize our business. I don’t know why you were silent our the certificate fee of $50,000. Can’t you do something now to finish this business. In fact, the moment we finish this business, I will instruct you to remit to you husband his money so that we can have peace of mind to enjoy our money.
In stead of traveling to London, why can’t you travel to Holland and meet my lawyer there so that both of you will travel down to Ghana so that you can see things by yourself before coming to Nigeria. It is better we finish up every thing before you finally travel to London. I will send somebody to goose company today to tell them the bank you remitted the money from. In your return mail, please tell me the name you remitted the money with I mean if it was your name you used as a sender or another person name. Please advice.
If you feel that you can not make it to Holland before going to London, why can’t you send the money for drug free certificate so that everything will be completed immediately.
Another thing is that the security company said that if we want, they can deliver the consignment to Holland. Do you want them to deliver to Holland so that you will finish up the business with my lawyer in Holland. Please advice immediately so that they will move the consignments to Holland tomorrow. After which you open an account there and lodge the money go back to London from where you will then visit Nigeria.
Best Regards
Mrs. Abacha

. Hi Mariam
At last I am in London. All is well here. Anna is in good hands with my family so I am free to travel. I have been to HSBC and picked up my visa gold card so I can now get at the money in there from here. There was no point worrying about the $50,000 until I had the card. Also I thought I would be you seeing soon. If you really want me to go to Amsterdam that is O.K. I would rather come and meet you as soon as possible but I can go to Holland first if you like. Tommorrow? That would be Thursday. I wouldn't want to stay there long so tell me what day I should go.
Irma
..................................................
Dearest Irma,
Thank you for your mail, but I didn’t see any interesting thing in that mail, why must you tell me that you are travelling to Holland when noting has been done here. Though the consignment will be Air lifted from Ghana tonight to Holland, but that is not enough reason for you to travel when you know that we have not cleared the $100,000 US dollars we are to pay them. If we don’t clear this money before you travel to Holland, mind you that your going there is just a waste of time because the agent of the security company will never hand over the money to you unless you pay them the $10,000 US. The issue of drug free certificate is another important issue in this business which I have explained to you in my previous mails.
Tell me where you are now. Why must you travel to Holland without getting the contact of any body there even Jambojet. If you are in a hotel, tell me the hotel phone number and address so that Jambojet will come there to meet you immediately. Make sure that you don’t move any how to avoid your husband. Don’t forget that you have not sent senders name of the remittance you made. This is very important and I want you to send it immediately and call your bank to find out what is happening. Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Mrs Marian Abacha

Oh Mariam what are you saying?
I can't stay in Holland much longer although I could come back. Anna will be missing me. I asked you to tell me where to meet Mr Jambojet but you didn't tell me. It is nearly lunch time here if you are on line get back to me right away. I don't know what time it is there. Let me address your questions in order below.

My Dear Irma,
At my age I don’t think of doing business like this, I wonder why you traveled to Holland for a business instead of staying in hotel you are telling me that you are in Backpackers Hostel. I don’t understand you.
..................................................
You told me to meet mr Jambojet in Holland on Friday. I came to meet him. I asked you where he would be. You didn't tell me. I don't like big fancy hotels I am not used to that I don't know what to do or say. I am happy at the backpackers with people of my own age and social standing. Why do you have a problem with that? Oh I suppose you are Mrs Big Almighty Abacha hey only used to talking to Big Important People hey. Well where I come from eveybody is as important as everybody else and if you think you and your money are more important than my little Anna thaen you can forget the whole deal.
..................................................
Have you forgetting what you went to Holland to do . how I am sure that you have not discussed / exposed this business to your new friends. To me , you did not travel to Holland for this business but for making friends . I am not happy the way things are going . Jambojet is not happy and he is afraid of everything due to the way you are going because we don’t know the length you have gone with issue out the name of his Hotel .
Go and rent out a mobile phone so that I will communicate with you and know the state of your mind . give me the address of the place you are, Jambojet traveled with his personal assistance, a young man of 27 years of age , he can come there to look for you and take you to where you will meet jambojet or you check into a hotel and give me the hotel phone number . Any thing out side this suggestions is not acceptable to me. No matter where you are give me your phone number .
Jambojet has seen the consignment every thing is in order . I wonder why you don’t know the name you used in making remittance if at all you made any . Every thing is looking as a calculated brain but let see the end of this brain .
..................................................
End of Brain? what does that mean? Are you stupid? I hope not I have done a lot to try to help you. I was going to Nigera but you told me to come here. What do you mean "What name" don't you know my name? I have told you that two deposits were made to the goose company over and over. In Australia when you make a deposit they don't ask your name they just take the money and PUT IT IN THE BANK. How hard is that to understand. If there is any name attached it would be IRMA TOOLE. my name. Geeze ..................................................
Jambojet has finished his bar association meetin today, he is only in Holland just to see you in order to complete the business waiting for your phone number , otherwise,
..................................................
I haven't got time for that, mail me back in the next hour or so or I am going back to London to see Anna. I can't leave her much longer. ..................................................
I hope that you will not hold it against me if I stop communication. Best Regard Mrs Abacha ..................................................
FINE!
Irma
.................................................
The saga of Maryam, Mariam, Marian and Jambojet meet Ira toole continues. At this stage Jambojet is supposed to be at a bar association meeting in Amsterdam. However according to mails sent to Stew de Baker Hawke (another fake name of mine) he was in Ghana. Not only that but AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS DEAD. Yes that's right on the David Lee Roth Scam Joke site he was killed in Ghana in a car accident. I mailed David and explained that he just may recover from his death as he is obviously such an amazing and talented fellow.
.................................................Dearest Miriam
I can understand if you are having a bad day. You poor thing my heart bleeds for you. But we have to sort this out. As you know I have mistrusted that man Jambojet before but you assured me he was alright. But now I am here in Holland why can't he meet me? Why don't you mail me? I have to go to Anna. She is more important to me than any amount of money. There is nothing wrong with "the state of my mind" it is you or your people who are the problem here. I have come all this way to help you and now I am here that man Jambojet can't even manage to arrange a meeting via e-mail in three days. How useless is he? I have to catch a plane to London this afternoon. I must leave soon. I can only communicate from internet cafes you know. I don't know this city I feel a bit lost. Why can't I just come to Nigeria and then together we can fix all this up? Why haven't you mailed me back? What is wrong here? I am trying to do my best to help you and all I get in return is nothing. Tell me to come to Nigeria. We can be happy together. I have enough money for both of us. Please please Mrs Abacha you have made me come this far, don't let's stop now.
Your friend
Irma

dearest miriam
i have to leave now
i have to go back to england and anna.
i am not supprised you are in such difficulty you seem to have no idea (and i include jambojet in that) what to do about anything. I feel sorry for you but what can I do?
I will mail you from London. I think most of your problem is that idiot Jambojet. If you had just let me come to you I am sure all would be well by now.
Yours (hopefully)
Irma

Something funny has happened a man called Stuart Hawke has just mailed me. He says he has got into your mail box. He says he worked out your password.
HE FOUND MY ADDRESS
He says you are trying to steal my money.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I have to catch the plane
TELL ME WHAT TO DO
Desperate
Irma

Hello Miriam
Oh I am so tired.
I am back in London. That Hawke guy mailing me about you was a bit strange though wasn't it?
Oh bad luck about the money business I never did trust that guy Jambojet. I bet it's all his fault.
Hey that's a point I just thought of it now Hawke knew about us Jambojet knew about us They must be connected somehow. What was Jambojet's assosiate in olland called?
Anyway I am very tired now. Do you still want to be friends?

My lawyer told me before now that you are not the type that one can trust. Firstly, you started by saying you remitted $10,000 Australian Dollars which you never did. Secondly the manifest in the Airport and your name was never there as somebody that visited Holland. You are now telling me that somebody told you that we are after your money, both of you must be crazy by saying that, how much money do you think that you have. Maybe, you people are looking at me to be cheap because I am in this condition, if not I don’t think that I will ever look for somebody to assist me. I am only doing this to secure this money. Look at you that I trusted so much saying this bull shit. You said that you will come to Nigeria what stops you from coming so that you will see things by yourself. I challenge you to prove me wrong.
Best regards.

Perhaps you remember I told you I didn't trust him. You should be carefull who you trust Miriam.

Yes I did and I also asked you some questions about that stupid "goose company" who would believe in a company like that is it related to Jambojet?

You wouldn't know. I was there. My British passport is in my maiden name. Toole is my married name.

You know how much I have, I have just over $250,000 Australian left. I don't know who that Hawke guy was he just mailed me and said he got my name from your email account. He said you were a crook and trying to steal my money. I wondered later if it could be Mr Jambojet. He knows my address and about us. Nobody else could. Could they?
>Maybe, you people are looking at me to be

What people? Anyway I don't know what you mean by that.

I was coming, you told me to go to Amsterdam. I stayed there for 4 days waiting for someone to mail me and arrange a meeting. Nobody did. I had to go back to Anna. You know all that.
>I challenge you to prove me wrong.
Challenge accepted. I will make arrangments as quick as I can. I know where you live your address was on your first email. I will get a photo taken and send it to you so when I arrive at your house you will know who I am.

I have a visa to go to Nigeria. Should I come? You havn't contacted me in ages. Did you like the picture? I think it's from Nigeria is that what a Nigerian wedding looks like? I am trying to learn a bit about your country.

How are you?
I am fine. London is nice. I have been watching the Commonwealth games on TV. Some Nigerians were there.
So what do we do now? I still have a valid visa for Nigeria. Did you get the picture I sent you before? I will send it again. It's not very important I just wondered if it was typical of an African wedding.
Let me know what you want me to do.

Mariam what is going on?
Who is "David"? Is Jambojet dead?
Someone caling himself David mailed me and sent me this.
.......................................................
"David Lee Roth's" mail:
Hello Irma
My name is David Lee Roth and Stew de Baker Hawke asked me to mail you. Be carefull of those Nigerians they are all crooks. They just want your money.
See below for extracts of mail they sent me.
Love
David
"David Lee Roth's" extract of mail which he got from "Mrs Abacha" (not that you, honored reader, need to be told, but "Mrs Abacha" is now reading an extract of a mail that "she" sent Target A, which is being shown her by Target B).
Sir,
I hope that you must have received the mail I sent to you today. I want to inform you that there is a bad news here today. Jambojet my lawyer had a fatal accident on his way back to Nigeria from Ghana where he went to open account on your behalf. His driver died instantly and his two legs were broken. The only person that came out un-hurt was one of his lawyers that traveled with him. It was this lawyer that came back with the bad news to Nigeria.
Another extract mail "David" got from "Mrs Abacha":
Sir,
1. My name is Barrister Suliman Mohammed of Jambojet chambers, an attorney at law. We are managers and rtustees of the above mentioned deposit and power of attorney was given to us by Mrs. Marian Abacha of Gidado Road Kano.
I hereby give my consent to disclose to you that un-expected happened yesterday 4th July, at exactly 2.15pm. That is the death by Autor accident of our principal partner chief Jam Jambojet on his way from Ghana to Nigeria where he has gone to carry out his professional duty on your behalf, aged 65 years.
We must inform you that Mrs. Marian Abacha does not know of his death. Though, she was told that he had a fatal accident. We still keep this ugly incident behind her because of what she is presently going through in the hands of her enemy, the ruling government.
.............................................
And now back to our currently scheduled scam.
FROM: MRS. ABACHATO: IRMA
Before now, I have made up my mind not to continue this business with you any longer, but after I reasoned many things, I decided to continue. You must not forget that you made this business to prolong by not saying all the truth in your mouth. Firstly, you told me that you paid Ten Thousand Australian Dollars when You know that you didn’t pay any cent. Secondly, you told me that you travelled to Holland when investigations from my Lawyer Jombojet showed that you did not travel to Holland.
How then, do you want me to trust you to invest $78 Million Dollars in your account when you can not say a simple truth.
Some people might be telling you that we are after your money, I don’t blame them because they can say whatsoever they like but all I can say seeing is believing. It is only when you see things with your eyes you will know who is saying the truth.
The consignment has been sent back to Ghana. Since you have valid visa, I suggest you visit Ghana to see things with your eyes after which you are going to open an account on your name in a Bank in Ghana for the lodgement of the money after collection from the security company for further transfer to your account in England.
Your visit will also create a chance for us to see face to face. Indicate to me when you are travelling to Ghana so that I will send somebody to meet you in Ghana for the collection of the money since my lawyer Jambojet is dead.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Best Regards,
MRS. ABACHA.
..............................................
Hello Mariam
You are wrong you know. I did try to send that money to the goose company. I don't know what went wrong but the bank I sent it from is 12,000 miles away from me now so it is a bit hard to check. I will try though. Also I did go to Amsterdam just as I told you. My passport is in my name (Smith) from before I was married.
Anyway you wanted me to go to Amsterdam then your contacts there couldn't or wouldn't communicate with anyone about meeting. Remember?
Now you want me to go to Ghana. What would I do there? The company there wouldn't give me the money would they? Even if they did I couldn't very well carry it away could I.
Anyway my visa is for Nigeria not for Ghana. Why don't I just come and see you there? As I have been suggesting all along.
Oh sorry about Mr Jambojet I suppose dying is a harsh price to pay even if he did seem a bit stupid.
Oh yes you never did tell me what you thought of the picture I sent you.
Irma
..............................................
Dear Irma,
Thank you for your kind reply to my mail. I must inform you that if really you paid $10,000 what stops you from calling the bank on phone at least to know what went wrong or do you think that the money is a small money. Why can’t you show evidence of payment. Why can’t you remember the name you used in paying the money. Look at all this things and tell me what you mean.
Anyway to me, the most important thing for me now is collection of the consignment from the security company in Ghana. If you visit Ghana, you are going to collect the consignment from the security company together with the person I am going to send to you in Ghana. After collection, you will open a bank account in Ghana where you will lodge the money for further transfer to your account in your country. You are not carrying the money in cash. Why you must fly to Ghana is because the money is in Ghana and it will be easier for you to secure Ghana visa in London than Nigeria but after the business in Ghana, you and my partner has to come down to Nigeria to meet with me but whereby you insist that you must come to Nigeria first, I can’t stop you from coming but make sure you secure entry visa to Ghana before coming to Nigeria because this business is going to take place in Ghana not in Nigeria.
"The picture in ovation magazine is my daughters wedding ceremony. In your reply to this mail, make sure you give me your phone number for me to contact you. Remember that I will not like to hear from you that you don’t have phone."

However no cigar for you today. No real mother would ever say such a thing about her SON'S wedding.
How long did it take you to find out where it was from? Not a bad effort though I must admit.
Anyway mugu, I have had enough of this now.
As you know there is of course no money in Ghana.
Just as there is no Irma Toole or Stew de Baker Hawke. They are both me. "David Lee Roth" however is not me. Your "Molong" is someone else I have never met, although we have exchanged e-mails from time to time.
Imagine our suprise when that amazing fellow Jambojet was killed in Ghana at the same time he was in Amsterdam at his Bar Association meeting.
You sure are the eager beaver that Dave called you though. Two whole months of mailing about 45 mails in all. Not bad.
Oh well that's all Mugu, I sincerly hope you end up in a nice Nigerian jail cell.
Bye Bye
