Attn: Sir/Madam/General Director,
Wa-Salaam w'Ala ikum, walhamdililahi wabarakato, I hope you are in Peace of
our dear Allah May he blesses you abudantly .
My name is Farouk Al-Bashar, I am from Iraq but curently based in London. I
am a cousin to Mr. Sabawi Al-Tikriti, the former Head of Intelligence and
the General Security Organization during the
President Saddam Hussein regim.
I got your contact from the internet where I was searching for a reliable
person who has experience in investment as we want to invest the funds.
Before the war started, my cousin informed me about a deal he and 4 other
top Iraq official executed and his share was US$11.100.000.00 (Eleven
Million, One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which he package in one
metal box and removed it through diplomatic means for deposit in a prominent
Security and Finance company in Dubai as family valuables for security
reasons.
I thank almighty Allah who lead me out from Iraq with the secret code of the
consignment and other documents. I know that I wont go back to iraq for the
next coming years, for the sake of my life from Americans and the new
government officials that is in control of my country now. So, I just want
you to keep this opportunity which I have narrated to you , private and
confidential
because you are the only one I have contacted for this.
Now I was mandated by the my cousine wife and children to seek for a
reliable person who will help us travel to Dubai to meet with our attorney
and claim the consignment from the security company.
To this effect, I therefore see your assistance to help my family receive
the consignment and also help us invest the funds in either your company or
any profitable venture.
Be rest assured that this transaction is risk free as no person is aware of
this money.
You will be compensated with 25% of the total sum for your effort and
cooperation, another 5% will be utilised to pay back all our expenses.
For confidential sake, send your your urgent reply via:
farouk_al-bashar@hotmail.com
May the allmighty Allah sees us through.
Farouk Al-Bashar
