GOOD DAY SIR,

WAS KILLED BY SADDAM HUSSEIN IN 17TH JANUARY 2003 FOR HIS SUGGESTION
FOR NOT TO ALLOW THE WAR WITH THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS,BEFORE THE MEETING
THAT LEAD TO MY FATHER'S DEATH, HE GAVE TO ME SOME DOCUMENTS
REGARDING TO THE MONEY HE DEPOSITED IN THE FINANCE SECURITY COMPANY
IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - DUBAI ON THAT DOCUMENTS IS THE
"CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITE" OF (US$16,500,000.00) SIXTEEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ONLY) AND ALSO "CERTIFICATE OF AGREEMENT"
OF THE FINANCE SECURITY COMPANY AND MY LATE FATHER.
PLEASE SIR, I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN GO TO UNITED ARAB EMIRATES TO
CLAIM THE MONEY BECAUSE I AM AFRAID NO ONE IN FAMILY EXCEPT MY LATE
FATHER HAVE GONE OUT OF IRAQ BEFORE BOTH MY MOTHER AND MY TWO SISTERS
HAVE NEVER GO OUT OF IRAQ SINCE THEY WERE BORN . WE ARE LIVING IN A
SCHOOL COMPOUND NOW AS OUR HOUSE HAVE BEEN DESTROYED DURING THE WAR.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY HELPER, MY FATHER ALSO TOLD ME NEVER TO INVEST
THE FUND IN IRAQ TO AVOID DANGER, FOR HE WAS ABOUT TO INVEST THE FUND
IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES BEFORE HE WAS KILLED .
SO PLEASE HELP ME TO CLAIM THIS MONEY, I AM READY TO GO WITH YOU
ANYWHERE YOU WANT US TO INVEST THE FUND BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO DO BUSINESS BECAUSE I WAS ONLY A UNIVERSITY STUDENT HERE IN IRAQ

MUCH FOR ME AND MY SISTERS.
FURTHERMORE, PLEASE I DID NOT LET ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS NOT EVEN MY
UNCLES BECAUSE THEY MAY KILL ME AND TAKE THIS "CERTIFICATES" FROM ME
WHICH IS OUR LIFE AND FUTURE HOPE, ME AND MY MOTHER AND SISTERS WANT
TO GO OUT FROM IRAQ TO A BETTER AND SAFER PLACE TO CONTINUE OUR
EDUCATION BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE DROP OUT AND INSURGENTS,
WE WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE IN THE SOCIETY AND THAT IS WHY OUR
