Dear Sir,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source, First of all, I am Mrs Amina Bello, an Iraqi refugee, wife to Late Col. Bello Rashid Musa, who was one of the aide to the former leader of my country Iraq before he was killed prior to the time of crisis which is presently on.
When my husband with the rest members of my family was killed during the war; I and my only survived Son escaped to Syria with the help of United Nations officials from there we came to Thailand through the United Nation peace keeping Pilot.
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise but honestly I do not intend to surprise you. I write this letter in respect of my intention to invest the sum of USD$16.5Million with your company which I and my Son inherited from my late husband. The fund was originally gotten from my late husband proceeds through the duration of his stay in goverment as aide to former leader of my country. My late husband was able to safe guard the fund with a very good diplomatic means from my Country to Thailand as family valuables which make us to come here to start a new life.
I have decided to seek for an assistance and help from you as a foreign partner to enable us reach a contract joint venture partnership agreement to transfer and invest the fund in any good line business in your country under long time joint venture partnership to enable us entrust the investment in your care and management as soon as it is cleared from the finance and security vault here.
We have certisfied the existence of the fund in the finance and security vault with all the appropate documents of the fund in our postion as the beneficiary of the fund, and we have also concluded every arrangement with the diplomat for the removal of the consignment fund from the security vault so that we can transfer the fund out of Thailand for investment purpose in your country because of our current status as a political refugee we are limited to handle such huge amount of cash as we are prohibited from operating a bank account due to our status as refugee.
For the above reason we ask for your assistance and co-operation. In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to assist me , I am ready to give you a good negotiable percentage for your sincere and candid effort in this regard, or better still commit it into viable Joint venture projects. Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the funds belong to me and my only survived Son. As soon as I get your consent, I will quickly move this fund to your country for investment . I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business venture will derive a huge success hereafter.
However, upon your acceptance to work as my partner, you can contact me with my private telephone number or e-mail for more details and the steps we shall take to finalize on the project. I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success here after, please include you private contact telephone number and private e-mail when replying.
Thank you for your understanding and I'm looking forward to having a successful business relationship with you. Your assistance will remain forever invaluable and beneficial to us.
l hope to read your reply soon.
Yours Sincerely.
Mrs Amina .Bello
