Dear Sir,
RE: I NEED YOUR HELP
I am compelled to contact you with the hope that you will be of a kind
assistance to me.
Let me briefly introduce my self to you for the avoidance of doubt and
record purposes.
My name is Nabil Samad. I am an Iraqi citizen and I studied engineering in
Howard University in Washington DC. After my studies in US, I was lured
home by the Government of Sadam Hussein to serve in the Iraq Ministry of
Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
You may not understand me very well, but that I am alive today is out of
Divine Intervention from God. Some of my colleagues were not as lucky, as
they were sent to their early graves on spurious charges and allegations. I
only spent few years in prisons before the timely invasion of the
Americans.
Meanwhile, I am writing you now because I am in a desperate need for help.
The increasing violence of insurgent attacks which is targeted at my ethnic
stock for supporting the US invasion has claimed the lives of my Friends,
close relations and family members and I do not know who is next and the
insurgents do not give notice when next they will attack and kill their
helpless victims.
I am therefore looking for a resource person, who is honest, trustworthy
and reliable to help me take custody and invest some funds on my behalf.
This Fund is in excess of USD 30 Million and was legally earned through
personal hard work from the Petroleum sector on contract transactions in
the Kurdish Region.
With the impending invasion of the US forces, a UN diplomatic Agent
supervising the UN/Iraqi oil for food program assisted me to move this fund
to Europe under Diplomatic cover as family treasures. The fund has been in
safekeeping with a Fiduciary/ Security company in one of the European
cities and is held as personal belongings and Family Treasures in Three
Sealed Trunk boxes with the content of the boxes unknown to the security
company.
As the violent situation here does not seem to abate, and with the
increasing daily suicide attacks targeting and Killing my people, I cannot
afford to leave this fund in the hands of the Security Company. I need your
urgent help before it is too late, as I can not travel out of Iraq now.
I want to request you, please to move in on my behalf to receive the
consignment from the company for investment purposes preferably in real
estate, stocks or bonds, pending when I can leave Iraq with my family to
settle in your country.
For your information, there is no risk involved in offering any assistance
to me. All I need to do is to issue you with a Power of Attorney to receive
the consignment from the security company as my agent, family Attorney or
friend. There is a legal provision in the deposit certificate, which
indicate that my appointed representative will receive the consignment on
my behalf as my next of kin or attorney, if I am incapacitated.
For your investment assistance and help to retrieve this consignment on my
behalf, I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum.
Please indicate your interest to help me as urgent as possible by email or
you may contact me on my satellite telephone no: for further discussion.
Looking forward to your response and co-operation.
Best Regards,
Nabil Samad.
