Subject: Be my confidant
Dear Sir
Please refer your response to my confidential address:fafahadda@swissmail.net
I have decided to get in touch with you for assistance in relation to the
following proposal. Having obtained your contact through your local Chamber
of Commerce. The recommendation is based on the promise that your business
dealing is suitable for the investment of our money totaling US$80.5m (Eighty
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) presently lodged in a Finance
House Abroad.
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. I am Mr.Farsan
Haddad from Lebanon the financial adviser to Mr.Saddam Hussein the former
President of Iraq, adding to my relationship with the Former President,
I have been his confidant throughout his regime before the war that forced
him out of power, he is currently undergoing trial in America. Before the
war Mr.Saddam Hussein has been in problem with the American Government.
On the eve of the war he told me to escape with two of his sealed metal
boxes, which contains the sum of US$80.5m (Eighty Million Five Hundred Thousand
US Dollars) being kept in my care before he went on exile. I was able to
leave with these boxes to a neighbouring country from where the two boxes
were sent to Europe through his Diplomatic connection.
On arrival in Europe I arranged with a Security company where I deposited
the two metal boxes as family treasures. The false content declaration was
necessary for avoidance of betrayal either in transit or while in custody.
Be informed that Mr.Saddam Hussein does not want this money kept or invested
in Middle East to avoid trace of its movement from Iraq.
If you are interested in this transaction, all information?s related to
this transaction will be made available to you without any delay. Subsequently
your Contact detail needs to be forwarded to me, for further reference to
the security company to facilitate the immediate reciept of fund.
The former President and I have set out an agreeable percentage to any prospective
partner. Invariably, 30% thirty percent of the total sum has been mapped
out for partners effort, while the remaining 70% will be shared between
the Former President and me. Remember that the need for confidential handling
of this transaction is very important for the fact that Mr. Saddam Hussein
is undergoing trial in America, It will be my greatest pleasure to do business
with you. Attached is a copy of my internatinal passport as evidence of
trust.
Please write me back I look forward to it.Thank you,
Mr.Farsan Haddad
