Subject: Kindly Get Back To Me Please.
Dear Sir/Madam
I am Mr MUFUTARU AHMED based in bagdad in iraq,i got your contact from a
friend of mine one time resident in your country,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$
20.000.000)Twenty million united states Dollars in my custody.i inherited
the money from late my father who was a major general in iraqi army in
charge of purchase and maintainance in the immediate past regime.
My intention is to move the money out of iraq and invest the money in stock
market or real estate in your country with the help of an honest person who
will work with me as my foreign associate, i want to invest most of 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 40% 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 bomb
explotion seems to have no end.
I wait patiently for your urgent response to my personal email
(mufutaruahmed@netscape.net).
Best regards.
From Mufutaru Ahmed
