Subject: A WIDOW REQUEST FOR HELP
Dear Belove,
I decided to mail you thru the chat forum on small business and please do
not feel bad about this message more especially as i am from Iraq. My names
are Hayat Al-Shibbeth Ashraf widow of Abdul Rahman Ashraf, former Bank
Manager of Baghdad National Bank. My Husband and our twin sons were killed
in the U.S. led military campaign during this crises period. All we ever
worked and lived for was destroyed. I am left alone now with my 11 year’s
old little girl.
Before the invasion, he disclosed to me that he had funds totaling Twenty
Four Million United States Dollars securely lodged in a security company in
Europe. I have with me the Deposit Certificate which states that the
consignments contains PRICESLESS FAMILY VALUABLES, and that an agreement was
reached between them for a possible change of beneficiary's status. He had
made this revelation to me when the American led forces intensified their
air raid on our country before he was killed.
I ask you in the name of Allah the merciful, to help salvage the situation
for me and my little girl and help us claim at this fund. I am willing to
give you the information you may need to clear the fund. I am also willing
to give to you an agreed percentage from the total fund. The rest will be
more than enough for me and my daughter. I chose to contact you in strict
confidence and out of inspiration, believing that you will not betray me
when you clear the consignment.
All I require from you is honesty and transparency. Presently, I believe am
under surveillance by the American Security here and can only reach you via
email. However, your nationality does not matter in this business. Please
show transparency. I will expect your Urgent response. May Allah be with
you.
