The Abacha Family Scandal/Fraud prevailing.

To the President of (Nigeria and) Ghana:
Gentlemen of distinction:

I need your help. I am a Canadian citizen, frauded by either the use of the Abacha family name or by the family itself.

Amina Abacha approached me via email, authorizing me to come to Accra and collect US$15,000,000/- in cash as money willed by her husband, the late General Abacha, himself. Her appointed lawyer was named Ben Coker - all of Nigeria.

Their contact was Trident Securities at 15/19 Barnes Road, Osu Re, (close to Medina - 5 minutes from the Accra Training College or the Palace Bar Restaurant in Medina). Although I have been to their office about 6 times, I never could find this place as the driver went a different route each time.

Trident Securities Managing Director is Mr. Santos and his assistant, Mr. Davis.

Altogether they have frauded me of about 110,000 US dollars. I am too poor to let this amount of money go unnoticed as I have too many bills to pay now and am even being threatened with liens on my vacant properties (vacant, because no one will rent - thats another story and not related to this at all).

Because of my letters to the US President in 1976 fighting for world peace and a better Africa (away from fright, hate, turmoil and severe mistreatment and mismanagement), I thought Genral Abacha had learnt of me from these talks with him. If this was indicated as a "willed amount" for outstanding services rendered to him, I would never have decided to help Amina to get her money invested in Canada and the USA, either.

A detailed statement was made during the third week of November 2001 to the Chief Inspector of the CID Headquarters in Accra, Osu (very close to Frankies and the Barclays Bank in Osu).

I need this money urgently in order not to go bankrupt in a few weeks time and urge you to please help me recover all my money invested in their fraudulent scheme.

According to the discussions that I had with the people from Ghana, Nigerians are coming into their State and ruining the reputation by such fly by night schemes. Some of them have also heard of the name of Abacha being misused, of many people from foreign countries coming there and staying at the Sunspot Hotel or the Hillview Hotel for about a week and then, returning, dejected, because they have lost their entire savings.

I am urgently requesting you to render this your most immediate attention as I love Africa and dont want the international press or Interpol to find out about this as all kinds of scandals and frauds will pop out and, instead of the entire country of Africa (which is striving its best) achieving, it will be dragged down by this scandalous fraud and investors will think twice of coming there and investing for the employment of your precious, smart, hard working people.

WILL BOTH YOU PRESIDENTS - OF NIGERIA AND GHANA - PLEASE COME TOGETHER AND SOLVE MY PREDICAMENT?

Thank you.
Maurice.
