Subject: Your Assistance is needed.
Attention Dear,
This mail will definitely come to you as a surprise, but i must crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you.
I am Miss Rose 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 Abidjan, Cote D' Ivoire, 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 in a security firm in Europe, which has an affiliate branch in other country in the world.
This deposit was made in my name and the secret code and necessary documents are presently in the possession of an attorney.
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 Europe, upon which i will be offering you a percentage for your efforts.
The attorney, will arrange an authority letter 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.
For security reasons please reply to roseanny11@yahoo.co.uk <mailto:roseanny11@yahoo.co.uk>
Allah bless you,
Rose Sadija.
