Attn: Sir
I am Madam Awatif Al-kamil woman bassed in bagdad in
iraq,i got your contact
from our chamber of commerce and it is with that i
wish to contact you for a
little assistance you can render to me. Due to the
situation here in in
iraq,those of us in the business circle are finding
it very difficult to
cope with the situation here,no stable
goverment,bomb explotion at strategic
places every now and then,sometimes people find it
very difficult to go
about their normal businesses due to fear of being
victim of terrorist
attack,above all the crisis in iraq now has made
business activities totaly
parallised for quite sometime now.for intance,no
good telephone
facilities,no adiquate security,infact,all most all
the basic infrastructure
were destroyed during the recent war in iraq,ever
since then .the enveroment
in iraq has never been condusive business wise.
Please,why i need your
assistance is that i have about (us$
40.000.000)fourty million united states
Dollars deposited in a security
company here in iraq. I inherited the money from
late my husband who was a
major general in iraqi army in charge of purchase
and maintainance in the
immediate past regime. My intention once the money
is cleared is to invest
the money in stock market, real estate or any
profitable business venture in
your country with the help of an honest person who
will work with me as my
foreign associate. I want to invest the money abroad
to avoid lossing the
money, because it is not wise doing business in the
atmosphere of fear here
in iraq,that's why I am calling on you. If you can
honestly collaborate with
me ,i am ready to pay you up to 20% of the total
amount if you can sincerely
assist me to actualise this project soon,because the
situation here in iraq
is very critical,the everyday sucide bombing,
terrorist attacks seems to
have no end. I wait patiently for your urgent
response. Thank you. Madam
Awatif Al-kamil
