is undergoing trial in Lagos and Abuja though he has just been recently

our properties.
To save the family from total bankruptcy I plan to Transfer
through an Financial Institution,the sum of US24, 000,000.00. secretly
kept by my late husband.
The money was deposited with a Security/Finance Institution.

e-mail address ( bar_abb10@myway.com ) my Son shall arrange with you,toward`s

70% is to be held on trust by you until we decide on a suitable business
investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian
Government.

Now it is time to contact the security company:
Att: manager Mr Tom Dean
Regarding the release of the consignment belonging to the Abacha
family, I plan to go to Amsterdam on the 6th. Can we arrange a meeting
on that day?
What is the address of your Amsterdam office?
Please inform me if I have to bring som documents, or something
else.
Regards, ...

I am also in contact with another scammer, Fred, that has sent me a
picture of himself. It looks like a picture of Mohammed Abacha. Now
let me tell Abba about my ordeal in Sct.Petersburg, and ask him some
questions:
... Sorry for the late answer, but I have just been through the
worst week-end in my life. As you know, I was going to Sct. Petersburg,
and everything went according to plan until I landed there. I had been
chatting with a nice fellow on the plane, and had promised to carry
one of his bags through the customs because he was handicappet and we
were going to the same hotel. That was a BIG mistake, because I was
stopped in the customs, and it turned out that his bag contained drugs.
And the man, whose name I didn't have, was nowhere to find. To make
a long story short, I was arrested, and was first released when I managed
to get in touch with the American Embassy this morning.
Thank you for the pictures your mother sent. Give her my regards.
Her email makes me worry a little. Who is poppachuck@yahoo.com? Will
he also be having 20% of the money? What about my 30%?
I still would like to have a picture of you, Abba. I only saw your
brother Mohammed in your mothers picture! Are you camerashy?
I have been contacted by a Mr Fred Martins, that claims to be your
cousin. I have attached his picture. The picture looks a lot like your
brother Mohammed. His email address is mrfredmartins@echina.com and
his telephonenumber is 234-802-322-5359. If he really is your cousin,
please send him my regards.
I have contacted mr Tom Dean, and will keep you informed.
Kind regards, ...

Time to arrange a meeting face-to-face with Mr Dean:

tomorrow from Paris by flightnumber 8224 from AirFrance at 11:00 AM.
I suggest that we meet on the corner of xxx and yyy at 02:15 PM.
That should give me enough time to get into town and get to the bank
before our meeting.
Will you send me a picture of the person that will meet me, so that
I can recognize him?

a meeting,also the total storage fees

can handover the consignment,
You need to call me first before i can make any of those arrangement,
Have a good day or send me a telephone to reach you.
Thanks

Oops, "storage fee". Let us ignore that for a moment and
continue as planned. First a letter to Abba:
Dearest Abba,
I have sent an email to Mr Dean, and CC'ed it to you.
Have you been in contact with mr Fred Martins? I dont want him
to interfere in our business.
Yours,
Y.
P.S. Yes, I am single. If you sent me a picture of yourself (without
the family), then I will send you a nice one of me ;D ;D

And some spanking for Mr Dean:
Dear Mr Dean,
I am sorry that I first read your email this afternoon.
I arrived in Amsterdam this morning, and waited for your officer
for 1/2 hour.
Now we will have to schedule another meeting.
Let me make one thing clear about the 13.000 EUR. I will bring them,
but I will not hand them over until I have verified that the content
of the trunks in intact. If something happened to the contents during
the transport, it will be your problem, and not mine.
How do we proceed from here?
Kind regards, ...

Abba is waiting for me to step into Tom Deans office and pay at least
13.000 EUR. That is not my plan, so I send him some questions:
Dear Abba,
I am still waiting for your answer to my mail.
Regarding Mr. Dean in Amsterdam, could you give me the address of
his office?? After my experience in Sct.Petersburg I am not going to
have meetings with strangers on unknown addresses!! I have already asked
him, but he wont tell, and that makes me nervous.

Let us stop this game by getting the police on the arena. I write to

Dear Mr Dean,
Since you wont tell me the address of your office, I have decided
not to meet you alone. I will come together with a friend of mine, Piet,
that used to work in the dutch police. I will also insist that we go
from the meetingpoint to your office in our car. I have just had a bad
experience in Sct.Petersburg, so I am not going to meet with strangers
alone. I hope you understand and accept this.
I suggest that we meet next tuesday, October 12th, at 14:00 on the
corner of xxx and yyy. Please confirm, ...
I never heard from Abba and Mr Dean again.
