Hello,
My Name Is Thomas Tukur,I Was The General Manager Of The Presidential
Palace In Basra Untill The U.S And The British Army Invaded The Town
Recently. I Am Not A Military Man But i Was A Civilian Staff Of The Now
Overthrown Government Of Saddam Hussein.
It Is On Record That When The British Soldiers Finally Subdued The
Iraqi Army, I Personally Handed Over The Presidential Mansion To A
Battalion Of The British Army, After Some Valuables In The Mansion
Had Been Plundered And Looted By Some Fleeing Iraqi Soldiers.
During This Period, I Was Able To Recover Some Valuables Which I Kept
Out Of The Reach Of Both The Fleeing Iraqi Soldiers And The In-Coming
British And Their American Allies. These Valuables Included $18.6
Million USD (Eighteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars),
Some Gold And Other Precious Stones.
When It Became Obvious That I Was Going To Loose Everything Because
Of The Raging War And The Need For Me To Run For Cover, I
secretly
siphoned the sum of $18.6 Million USD (Eighteen Million, Six Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) And Other Valuables out of Iraqi and
deposited the money with a security firm that transports valuable
goods and consignments
through diplomatic means.
I am contacting you because I want you to go to the security company
and claim the money on my behalf since I have declared that the
consignment belong to my foreign business partner. You shall also be
required to assist me in investment in your country
and Help Me Get Out Of Iraq And As Well Secure A Permanent Residence
Permit For Me In A Safe Country, Where I Can Live The Rest Of My
Life.
I Want To Get Out Of Iraq Fast. My Passport And Driver's Licence Have
Been Lost To The War. I Have No Telephone To Call Because All
Telephone Services Have Been Cut. No Water, No Electricity Here. To
Send This Mail, I Had To Go To A Hotel Where Foreigners Are Staying.
I Also Managed To Survive Everyday Because Of The Kindness Of The
British Soldiers Who Now Occupy The Presidential Mansion.
If I Am Able To Get This Help Urgently, I Will Like To Leave Iraq
Quickly And For Your Services, I will be very much obliged to give
you 30% and 5% for the expenses that you may incurred towards this
transaction.
When I receive your positive response I will let you now where the
security company is and the payment pin code to claim the money which
is very important.
Please Contact Me Through my private email address....

Thomas Tukur.
