Subject: FROM ALI IBRAHIM IS VERY URGENT
Dear Sir,
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up
courage to
contact you. I am from (will disclose this later), presently
working in Iraq
with an international organisation that I will also disclose
later, I found
your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking
your assistance
to evacuate the sum of (US$8.523 Million Dollars) Eight
Million five
Hundred Thousand And Twenty Three Dollars to your country or
any other safe
country of your choice, as far as I can be assured that my
share
will be safe in your care untill I complete my service
here,this is no stolen money,
and there are no dangers involved.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in
barrels
with piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one
of Saddam,s old
palaces during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by all
party
present that the money be shared amongst us, this was quite
an
illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? no compensation
can make up for the risks we
have taken with our lives in this hell hole.
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal
this kind
of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a
German contact
working here, and his office enjoys some immunity, I was
able to get the
package out to a safe cation entirely out of trouble spot.
He does
not know the real contents of the package, and believes that
it belongs to an
Asian/American who died in an air raid, and before giving
up, trusted me to hand over
the package to his business associate. I have now found a
secured way of
getting the package out to a safer country for you to pick
up, and
will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are
willing to assist me.
One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss
this matter
with a third party, should you have reasons to reject this
offer, please
destroy this mail as any leakage of this information will be
too bad for us.
I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have
survived 2
suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and
other
reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out
for help, I honestly want
this matter to be resolved immediately. Please contact me as
soon as
possible.
Regards,
Ali Ibrahim
