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
