Dearest Beloved,
Thank you for the attention being given to me through
my mail.
I am Mrs.Farah al-Hashemi, The wife of Iraq Military
Finance Corps Chief, who was
incharge of the payment of the military salary during
his life service
time . I am 58 years old, I am now receiving treatment
in the hospital. It's quite
obvious that my chances of survivial is so slim
according to my doctor as I am suffering from kidney
transplant
illness,this is because my illness has gone to a
critical condition.
My late husband died from the British and American
attacks over political crisis in my country ,
and our marriage was blessed with two children Amin
and
Idris.
After the death of my husband , I inherited some money
which my late
husband deposited with a Security Finance Company in
Thailand for safety
.The doctor has advised me that I may not live long,
so I now decided to contact you to
assist my two sons to claim this money From where it
was deposited and
guide them for investment as you are a potential
business man.
My family will be interested in doing business in your
country,
thefore i would like to seek your assistance and
help.I am interested
particularly in properties , but your advise on other
areas of
private sector would be highly appreciated, i am in
believe that you
would be of great help in guiding my two sons to a
sucessful exploration of
the investment potentials of your country , which
guarantees good capital
returns and human security .As a result of this, i can
take you in
confidence bassically due of the source of the fund ,
hereby
believing that your assistance will be profitable to
us.
The amount in question is USD$12 Million .I will
appreciate your
willingness to carry this transactions the
gratification remark which
will be determined as soon as i hear from you.As i
have maped out 20%,
for your assistance and 5% would be used for the
re-embursement
of any expenses that is encurred during on the process
of this transaction .
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when
transferred to your country
will be used for the said purpose of investing in the
industry, because I
have come to find out that wealth acquisition without
Allah is vanity upon
vanity.
I await your urgent reply to enable me up-date you
with more information and
how to proced.
Do feel free to ask me any question if you wish to as
my husbands
death has blocked every trace of this money from
us,the documentations
relating to the deposit of this fund are all intact
with my first son for
your verification .I await to hearing from you
soonest.
Yours Sincerely.
Mrs Farah al-Hashemi
