My Dear Mrs.Abacha, How I sympathize with you on the loss of your husband at what I am sure was the height of vigor. Then for his enemies to attempt to keep from you the monies that are rightfully yours is a terrible burden.
I am very happy to take up the cause for you. Your offer of 30% of the $28,000,000.00, while seemingly generous, will only just cover the various costs involved. Since it is in a Good Cause, I will carry on for the paltry $8,400,00.00. I will require that: 1. An amount of $840,000.00, 10% of the fee, is expected for bono fides, prior to any effort on my part; 2. Half the fee, $4,100,000.00, must be in hand before I am able to activate the fund accounts. This, of course, is necessary to meet the fees and other costs I will incur; 3. The balance of the fee, $3,260,000.00, is due prior to transferring your accounts; 4. Each barrel on its own bottom, we shall each cover our own expenses. The mundane details out of the way, let me say that it will be my pleasure to assist you. Upon receipt of guaranteed funds, as stated above, I shall go to work. My best to you in your bereavement, I am your putz, not Yes I fear I am living beyond my mental means--Nash
