Subject: GOOD DAY TO YOU MY DEAR BROTHER
GOOD DAY TO YOU MY DEAR BROTHER
I greet you in the name of Allah the merciful. This mail might surprise
you as we have not met before neither have we seen each other but I beleive
this is the beginning of a better relationship to come.I do not wish to
bother you but I am writing to you to seek your attention,confide in you
and to humbly solicit your assistance and support towards helping me solve
an eminent problem am faced with.
I am Yossuf Al-Ameen. I am an American-born Iraqi . I am happily
married with four kids. I lived in Iraq for 25 years and worked as a finacial
director. I am the director of operations of the apex bank in Baghdad, Iraq
and the personal adviser on financial matters to Uday Hussein ( The prince
of Baghdad)
You might be suprised how I got your address and how I have deceided to
use to this medium as a means of contact and communication.Like it is always
said;"necessity is the mother of inventions".Therefore, due to the situation
at hand in my country, I have resolved to contact you through this means
as the best possible means of reaching out.I got you information from a
consultant company's web page. I viewed through list of communities web
sites with good information as to whom to contact as regard my problem;
from which I got your address.
Before the invasion of America in Iraq, the prince of Baghdad (Uday Hussein)
approached me. He confided in me and entrusted into my care some funds estimated
to be about Sixty five million US dollars (US$65,000,000).The funds was
stacked in cash contained in two containerized vault boxes.As I was instructed,
that the fund was meant for the payment of some foreign partners who he
executed a deal with.
From my conviction,the funds was meant for the payment of weapons which
was supplied into the country for the war against the US. I beleived the
weapons were shipped in by some russian allies who has been in constant
supply of ammunition and weapon to the Saddam Hussein government.During
the war,when Baghdad was captured by the US troop which led to the fleeing
of the prince from the city. I was instructed before then that I should
move the fund to the boarder between Iraq and Syria, in company of security
men, where I will meet with the Russian allies and release the fund to them.
Before I could carry out the instruction,. I got news that some russian
wqere arrested while some were gunned down when they resisted arrest. From
my gathering, I learnt that they were coming into the country with arms
and ammunition from the Syrian boarder. Then after Baghdad was taken over
by the US troops which led to the abortion of the plan.I lost contact with
Uday who use to call me and pass instruction.
Consequently, I came to beleive that seen the russian allies has been arrested
and no contact from Uday, they do not know my whereabout as I have deserted
my apartment due to bomb shell which have devastated it and all my belongings
gone.They do not know where the funds is as at now and there is no trace
that the fund is in my possession. Right now I have no doubt in my mind
that they beleive that I am dead by now and the fund is history. But I thank
God I am still alive.
Therefore,I am soliciting for someone who can help me move this fund into
a swiss account or a foreign account in Europe where I can keep the fund
safetly pending the situation in the country is normalized.Right now I am
confused as to what to do now,as I cannot continue to let the fund remain
in Iraq for too long or I might get into a big trouble which may cost me
my life if it is traced to me I would not want you to have a wrong impression
about my personality. I got involved in thios whole deal as a result of
forceful order of Uday which posed a big threat to me and my family on refusal
to be part of the deal. I was heavily gaurded by armed security men every
24 hours and unwittingly carried out every instruction detailed as I cannot
help myself but to obey.
Right now,due to the insecurity and uncertainty of things, I have moved
my family to Kuwait for safety reasons and I hope to move this fund out
of Iraq as quick as possible.I do not wish to disclose this funds to the
government at the moment as it will be very unwise and unsafe for me to
do so. They might misinterpreat my intension and things might be worse for
me.But i have promised within my self to release the fund to the government
when it is best to do so.
I have deceided to generously reward your good gesture by parting with 30%
of the fund if you can help me move the fund into an account in Swiss or
maybe in your country if preferred for safe keeping.As soon as the fund
is in an account, I wish to move my family to America to start a new life,
then I can decied when to relinquish the fund to the new Iraqi government.
I want to assure you that everything is well under control and I
guarantee you that there is no risk involved neither will there be any problem
at all.I have mapped out plans to carry out this transfer. I will take good
care of everything as regard the successful conclusion of the whole transaction.
Let me finally state that I will appreciate if this matter could be kept
with sealed lips and maintain a high level of confidentialitiy
I shall await your prompt response, if you are interested in assisting me.
Mar salaam
Yossuf Al-Ameen
