Dear sir/madam,

This mail will definitely be coming to you as a
surprise, but i must
crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you.
I am Miss Marah sadija, former mistress to the son
(Qusay) of the Iraqi
former leader, Saddam Hussein.

I am an Ethiopian, by birth and i am presently in a
refugee camp in
Zimbabwe,where the living conditions are unbearable.
I do not wish to take your time with a lenghty mail,
but i have to put
this proposal to you so that you can assist me.
While i was still in contact with Qusay,he made a
deposit in my
name to a security firm in Spain, which has an
affiliate branch in
Amsterdam.

This deposit was made in my name and the secret code
and necessary
documents are presently in the possession of an
attorney, presently in
London.This deposit was made in the form of a
consigment and the content is
a considerable amount of money in United state dollars
which i cannot
disclose to you for security purposes, until you have
confirmed your
willingness
to assist me.

I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could
assist me in
collecting this consignment on my behalf from the
security firm in
Spain, upon which i will be offering you a percentage
for your efforts.
The attorney in London, will arrange an authority to
release and pay in
your name which you will tender to the security firm
coupled with all
necessary documents that will back up your claims in
collecting this
consignment
on my behalf.

I have to stop here now as your response will
determine our
subsequent corresspondence. Please feel free to
dis-regard this
proposal if it is not in line with your principles.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT MY ATTORNEY THROUGH HIS EMAIL AND HE WILL GIVE
EVERY OTHER INFORMATIONS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION:
SIMON JAY & PARTNERS
LONDON OFFICE:

Thanks,
Allah bless you,
Marah Sadija.
