Dear

I am ahmed mohammend, a close associate and confidant of ahmed Hussein the first son of
The former Iraqi leader President Saddam Hussein.I was privy to a lot of huge transactions
during the reign of his father before the outbreak of Iraq war and collapse of his father's
regime.Because of the imminient war and treat by the United States to freeze all assets and
funds of the Hussein family,which is already on the way,Udah mandated me as his confidant
to look for a reliable, trustworthy and competent business man who will provide an
unsuspecting bank account to remit $45 Million so that it will not be frozen or seized as
terrorist funds.

This funds was moved out of Iraq from Central Bank Of Iraq with an inside connection of
ahmed to a suspense account of a Bank in Senegal awaiting further Instructions.I left
Baghdad on 8th April with the help of some French diplomats when it was evident that
the regime will fall.I flee to Senegal with the documents required to make the funds
remittance to a safe account.

You are to take 25% of the total sum for assitance,5% is mapped out for any contigent
expenses in the course of the transaction,while 75% will be for me and pedrow.If you are
interested kindly get back to me by my email pedrow@zwallet.com so that we can discuss
the modalities to remit this funds to your unsuspecting bank account.I need a guarantee
of trust from you before we commence business.

I look forward to receiving your response.

May Allah Bless you!
ahmed mohammend
