Compliments,
RE: TRANSFER OF 30,000,000.00 USD (THIRTY MILLION, US
DOLLARS)
I am the Head of Treasury / Money Control Officer, and also
the personal account officer to a great late industrialist,
who has an account with my Bank here in Iraq. This account
was opened in 1995 and has not been operated ( remained
inactive) since 2001. Realiable sources revealed that the
oil merchant died in one of the terrorist attacks in his
Basra residence.
Until his death there was no written or oral will. His name
is George B. Eastwood, and the current balance is
USD30million. The account has no other beneficiary and until
George B. Eastwood's death, he was the manager of Trust Oil
Co. LLC Basra-Iraq. My investigation through the Immigration
Department proved to me as well that George B. Eastwood was
single and he had no beneficiaries or next of kin, before or
after his entry into the Arab Republic of Iraq.
This account in question has been floating (dormant) since
2001 and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will
be forfeited for nothing since my bank has been sold to
another Bank in Kuwait and the management of the bank is
ready to release the Fund to any foreigner who has the
correct information of the account before fully handing over
to the management of the new bank in January ,2006. I am
writing you now because a successful takeover bid was
launched last May by a Kuwaiti Bank, and by January, 2006,
the 2 Banks will merge! This means that a management
internal AUDIT will reveal the money, and it will surely be
donated to one of the ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST GROUPS, who are
really armed terrorists!
With your help, I can transfer this money LEGALLY to your
nominated Bank Account anywhere in the world. We will start
with USD5million at first, and if there is no disappointment
or betrayal on your part, I will transfer out the remaining
USD25million. I am revealing this to you with faith In Allah
,that you will never let me down in this business, You are
the first and only Person that I am contacting for this
business, So please reply urgently so that I will inform you
about the next step to take. With my influence and power in
the Bank, all will be safely handled and legally done; THERE
WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO RISKS!
At the conclusion of the transfer, you will give me 60% of
the money and keep 40% for your self.
You can attention your reply to my private email box at
(fouad_mustaffa1@walla.com). You can also send your full
name and address, country of origin and telephone number so
that we can start preparing your transfer documents.
Awaiting your prompt and positive response.
Yours Truly,
Dr. Fouad Majeed Mustafa ACCA,FCIA
PS: FOR SECURITY REASONS, I WILL NOT BE GIVING YOU MY TEL

TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF IRAQ ARE BEING MONITORED BY GOVERNMENT
