Subject: Let's work this out.
My Dear,
Proposal For A Deal.
Acting on a reliable information that l got from one of our Consultant here,
l decided to contact you with this information.
I am Mr. Phil Cole, An Auditor with the Central Bank Of lraq here in Baghdad,
lraq. ln the course of checking the records at the bank here, l and my team
discovered that the Formal President, Saddam Hussein deposited the sum of
FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS with a commercial bank here in lraq.
Due to the nature through which this money was obtained some declaration
was not made which made it impossible to place a name as the Beneficiary.
This money was meant to sponsor Campaign against his enemies, which did not
work out.
Working with the Bank Manager, we have decided get someone who will act as
the Beneficiary of this deposit and we will wire the deposit into the Beneficiary's
Bank Account.
Now considering my position in this bank I can get every documents that will
be required to get this money into your foreign account as payment to you
for the contract you did in lraq. This is the reason I decide to solicit
for your help.
Bearing in mind that people do hack money out of someone's bank Account,
l suggest that you open a new bank account with only US$50 and let us use
the new bank account for this deal.
If you will accept to carry out this operation with me, we shall divide the
money accordingly the moment the money gets into your account. You propose
that you take Three Million United States Dollars for your assistance and
co-operation.
Because of my position and the activities of the Americans here, l would
want our communication to be by email as both my office and home phone is
been monitoried. This is because of the security situation here and for the
fact that l hold a very important office here.
Waiting to hear from you soon,
Best Regards
Phil Cole
