Principal Auditor,
Credit Bank of Iraq S.A
Elwiy aBld'g., Sa'Doun St,
P.O.Box 3420
Baghdad-Iraq.
Dear Sir,
RE: TRANSFER OF 24,200.000.00 USD (TWENTY FOUR
MILLION, TWO HUNDRED THOUSANDS US DOLLARS)
I am the principal Auditor and the personal account
officer to a great late industrialist, who has an
account with My Bank here in Iraq. This account was
opened in 1999 and has not been operated since 2002.
Reliable sources revealed that the oil merchant died
in one of the terrorist attack in his Basra residence.
Until his death there was no written or oral will.
This account in question has been floating since 2002
and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will
be forfeited for nothing since the bank has been sold
to another Bank in Kuwait and the management of the
bank is ready to release the Fund to any foreigner who
has the correct information of the account before
fully handing over to the management to the new bank
in january, 2005.

All the necessary information regarding the account
will be provided to you. The owner of the account is a
foreigner and no other person knows about this account
or any thing concerning it. The account has no other
beneficiary and until George B. Eastwood's death, he
was the manager of Trust Oil Co. LLC Basra-Iraq.
My investigation through the Immigration Department
proved to me as well that George B. Eastwood was
single as at his point of entry into the Arab Republic
of Iraq. We will start with Ten Million Two hundred
Thousand USD and upon a successful conclusion without
any disappointment from your side; we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining amount to your
account. The total amount involved is (USD
24.2million) Twenty Four Million, Two hundred thousand
United States Dollars only. I am revealing this to you
with faith In Allah, that you will never let me down
in this transaction, You are the first and only Person
that I am contacting for this transaction, So please
reply urgently so that I will inform you on the next
step to take urgently.
With My influence, all will be safely handled and well
done. At the conclusion of this Business, you will be
given 30% of the total amount, 70% will be for me, my
colleagues and other loose ends over here. We have to
make haste to avert this fund being written off as
excess profit and being channeled to the
Islamic Terrorist Purse. You can contact me by MAIL
or you can send your phone number so
that I explain better on what you are to do.
Awaiting your prompt and Positive response.
Yours Truly,
Dr. FALEH ALI, ACCA, FCIA.
