Subject: CONTACT URGENTLY
My name is Omar Saad ibn Omar, a former attachee at the Iraqi embassy in Jordan.It is with great humility and relief that I am contacting you to ask for your help and urgent consideration to my offer of mutual partnership with you.
The whole world has witnessed the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein and the crumbling of the government.My reason for contacting you is that amidst the confusion at our embassy in Jordan,I have managed to smuggle out of our embassy a trunk box that contains a physical cash of 22 Million US Dollars which was meant for the purchase of military equipment and materials for the Iraqi Army,and I have deposited this trunk in a security company in Syria in the guise of confidential documents because now that the regime in Baghdad has been crushed and the money cannot be traced,I see it as a good opportunity to divert the money into a lucrative business venture that can sustain me and my family in overseas where I intend to settle down to a quiet private life.Therefore,I need a foreigner with whom I can go into mutual partnership and whom I can trust with this money to invest it in his name on my behalf till such a time when it will be safe to transfer ownership of the investments to my name. I have concluded solid arrangements with a well-trusted diplomat who will use his diplomatic immunity to transport the trunk to Paris in order to avoid the trunk being opened for any form of inspection.However ,the diplomat does not know that the trunk contains physical cash because I told him that the trunk contains vital government confidential matters. I need you to go to Paris and meet the diplomat when he gets to Paris and claim the trunk from him as the sole beneficiary and afterwards,I will join you in Paris as soon as I can arrange a safe passage to Europe for me and my family because as soon as you receive the trunk,I will give you the code combination to open it and take some money from it and buy a house for me in any quiet Western city for the immediate settling of my family.While the rest of the money will be invested in a high dividend yielding ventures which we shall discuss and agree on terms when we meet in person.I offer you a tentative 20% of the money with other terms of partnership subject to negotiations which will be agreed upon and signed in Paris. I will give you further specific details concerning this when I receive a concrete assurance of your trust and interest in this transaction which I can assure you that its 100%riskfree as long as we both maintain the needed secrecy and honesty as partners because the money is too much to make every one of us happy and contented if only you can be trusted. I await your urgent attention and reply so that we can set things in motion immediately as I wish to leave the gulf region as soon as possible.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
OMAR SAAD
