Dear Sir,
It's my pleasure to humbly write to you. Actually we have not met face
to face but I believe you may be the right person to assist me on this
business transaction. Sir I am Mr Idris. I am from Iraq. I managed to
enter london on assylum. but because of the terrorist acts here now, it
is spoiling all my plans of stablizing here after my assylum case is
considered. As a matter of fact I came out with a huge of Money which I
would like it to be transfered out of london to enable me relocate
immediately after my case here.
Please I would like to transact with you if you will promise me of being
trustworthy. Please I will not like to be disasppointed as this is the
only hope of survival.
Actually I will not proceed with all the details until I have heard from
you. The amount is 16.8 million usd dollar. Its my money. Please dont
ask me how I got it as that may not be meaningful now. If you accept and
promise that you will not disappoint me if the money is sent to you then
please reply immediately so that we can talk of your percentage and etc.
Thanks.
Hadel Idris
