Dear Friend;
I am very sorry to interrupt your peace Since you are not expecting to
receive any mail from me And for using this medium (internet) which in
recent time has been drastically abused by spammers (scammers) However,
I was obliged to do so due to the importance and urgency of the message.
I got your contact from a computerized data following my effort
searching via directory of the US, Far-East & European Union for a
trustworthy person
to assist me and I crave your indulgence, and want to reasure you that I
mean well and that it is only for our mutual good. So please do not be
embarrassed.
My name is Krishna A, I am from Napel but a British Citizen , Reporter and
Photo-Journalist attached to the United Kingdom military. I am writing this
message from Ar-ramadi in Iraq. We hit Iraq in May 12, 2003 and have moved
around a few times building up F.O.B. around the western side of the country
as well as missions into Baghdad, with attacks by insurgents everyday and
car bombs, we managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein’s
family which we found in his palace shortly after his arrest, The total
amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. We want to
move this money out of Iraqi, since it is a war zone although partially
ended but the daily activities of suicide bombers is frighteningly on the
increase.
I reached an agreement with the members of my team whom are UN
officials and we agreed to keep this money to ourselves and then move the
box out of Iraq(in cash)then deposit this fund in any Bank/security company
in Asia , America or Europe that is nearest to you, and commerce immediate
wire transfer into your bank account or deliver to you through diplomatic
means as consignment to your location or nearby.
With their immunity as UN officials,they introduced me to some
Dilopmats who can move this fund out of Iraq. Details will be given to you
once you respond positivly
I have the honor to confide this information in you and to request for
your pleasure to assist to receive and secure the money in your
account,pending our retirement from service.I shall offer you 20% of the
total sum of US$25 Million dollars for your assistance and as compensation.
I will send you a copy of my International Passport as a proof of
sincerity.
You are therefore expected and advised to display high degree of
maturity,responsibility and understanding in handling this information.
I will give you all the details in my next mail when you have indicated
your interest and commitment to work with me. Always remember that this is
the highest confidence and trust any person can response on the
other,especially when it is considered that we did not know ourselves
before.
I hope you will honor me too. We can come over to join you for sharing
and to guarantee that we have unlimited access to you before and when the
funds hit your account. You may visit this website for more details:
