Subject: NEED AN ASSISTANCE
Dear Beloved,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that you
don't know me. The message could be strange but real, if you pay some
attention to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the
sake of your integrity.
I am Mrs. Bahiya Hariri, wife of the late Prime Minister of Lebanon,
mr Rafiq Hariri, who was assassinated on 14 February 2005, along with
20 others, near the St. George Hotel in Beirut.
http://www.cedarland.org/haririass.html
in the wake of his assassination on 14 February 2005, the United
Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan dispatched a fact-finding mission
to investigate the killing. Arriving in Beirut on 25 February, the
mission interviewed Lebanese officials and politicians, from both the
government and opposition, studied the Lebanese investigation and legal
proceedings, examined the crime scene and collected evidence. It also
interviewed some Witnesses.
The report emphasizes that it is impossible to identify the culprit
until the perpetrators have been brought to justice, but blames the
Syrian government, which it charges with exerting influence that goes
beyond the reasonable exercise of cooperative or neighborly relations,
with primary responsibility for the political tension that preceded the
assassination, by its (interference) with the details of governance in
Lebanon in a heavy-handed and inflexible manner.
Since the perpetrators of these evil act has not been brought to
justice, l have the feelings that l am not also save here in Beirut. I
intend leaving for Europe or the United States.
During my husband's regime as the Prime Minister of Lebanon, He
realized some reasonable amount of money from various deals that he
successfully executed.US$76,000,000.00 (Seventy Six Million United
State Dollars). The money was deposited by my husband in my name, Mrs.
Bahiya Hariri, in a Finance firm in Europe. I have plans to invest this money
outside Lebanon,
I am contacting you because am looking for a trusted and reliable
person that will represent me in Europe to claim the money on my
behalf. I have sent a notification letter to the financier institution,
that the consignment will be collected by the family foreign business
partner.
Why l need a foreign partner is that, as an Arab woman, the tradition
forbids me to run any business with my son (Saadeddine). Since he was
not aware of the money from the very first beginning.
I want to ensure you also that this fund is 100% risk free as no other
person knows about it apart from my husband and I. As for your reward
towards the assistance I have agreed to give you 10% of the total fund,
5% for any expenses that might be incurred in the course of this
transaction.
When I receive your positive response I will then give you details of
the Finance firm.
My private e-mail address ( bahiya_hariri@hotmail.com )
Best Regards,
Mrs. Bahiya Hariri
