TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
ASSALAAM ALAIKUM
I Know that it is a thing of great astonishment to read this mail
and of how you were contacted .But if you open up your mind and embrace
this information, you will see it as a Blessing to be contacted.
I will start by introducing myself to you as ALHAJI TAJ SAMAD
GIDADO. I am the personal assistant to the Palestine Leader YASSER ARAFAT
who has just given it up for the ghost. But as of now, I must tell you that
am in a fix and house arrest since my boss grew ill. His second in command
got us all (those that work in close with Arafat) arrested, threatened to
kill us all then assume the office of our boss YASSER ARAFAT. He even went
as far as freezing all our accounts and left us with apparently nothing
to find our family of which now my own family is living from hand to mouth.
Due to my boss trust and reliance in me, he entrusted a lot of
things to my care of which I never disappointed him. But there is a particular
box he kept in a security company which nobody knows excepts me, so as
his condition has gotten worst and am afraid of tomorrow, I will like to
take charge of that Box that has $72,000,000,.00 USD in it before the second
in command performs his worst.
You may ask why am contacting you, it is nothing but that if I
should pull this money into my account or else where, the Palestine government
is going to probe me and may seal may life for ever if not life jail, that
is why I will like you to come into this place. I will give you the information
of the security Company for you to contact them, telling them that you are
sent by me to pull the money that was kept with them but before then I will
contacted them about you so that there will be nothing to suspect.
I have mapped that 5% out of the whole money will be used for any
miscellaneous expenses and who so ever that helps me in pulling this money,
will be compensated with 25% of the whole lot. Then the
remaining 70% will be kept for me in a safe place of your choice till I
come over to your place where I can invest the money into a profitable business.
But if I did not make it to life, please kindly divide my own 70% share
into 2 parts, 1 part is to be given to charity organization. Then the other
remaining part to be kept for my family and you will do me the favour of
finding them and give it to them, though i will tell them about this deal.
ALLAH guide us and bless us all as we proceed into this transaction.
ASSALAAM ALAIKUM
ALHAJI TAJ SAMAD GIDADO
