Attention: The Managing Director,
Good-Day, Before I proceed, I must be grateful to introduce myself to your goodself. I am Mrs Sofia Aayat Razzaq Al-Hakim, iraqi refugee. Prior to this last serious crisis that is still ravaging in my country, which recently led to misfortune of our government, we were able to come over here in Thailand. My late husband was until recently, personal aide to former Iraqi Oil Minister during the former military regime. He was attack and kill by the Iraqi Guerrillas prior to the time of crisis which is presently on.
Due to my late husband's position as the former aide to the Oil minister, he was able to safeguard a reasonable sum of money amounting to USD$16MILLION, with a very good diplomatic contact from my Country to Thailand which I and my only surviving Son inherited after his death. This fund was original gotten from a secret oil deal my late husband executed while he was still alive before the war broke out and I have the tendency to invest this money in a company with good line of products for a good capital returns.
Since your country is one of the good investor friendly nations in the world, I have decided to live and run business over there, I would therefore like you to help me in every possible way in securing this money in your country for my future investment.
In view of your participation, I am ready to give you a good negotiation percentage for your assistance or better still commit it into a joint venture project. Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the fund belongs to me and my Son only. As soon as I get your consent, I will quickly move this fund to your country and finally move my family over there as well.
I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success hereafter. If you have any question do not hesitate to include same in your reply.
I am here with my only surviving Son Abdul Razzaq Al-hakim, please include you private contact telephone number and private e-mail when replying.
I am looking forward to hearing from you with regards to our collaboration and our immediate formal meeting. Also add your phone number (probably mobile) for ease of communication.
Thanks and have a great day.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Yours Sincerely,.
Mrs Sofia Aayat Al-Hakim
