Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr HANSAAN ANIE based in Lebanon ,i got
your contact through a business directory in Lebanon
Chamber of Commerce and Industry ,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
Lebanese.
The bombing has truly started. The first two nights
were terrible, but last night was beyond awful. I
don't know if I can find the words to describe what
was happening. The air-raid began at around 8:15 pm.
The bombing wasn't particularly heavy until around
9:00. Suddenly, the night sky was lit with white and
red -- a combination of Israeli missiles and Lebanon
anti-aircraft. The first explosion I heard was huge
and it felt like it had fallen particularly close. We
were more or less prepared, but found ourselves
rushing to the make-shift `shelter' we had arranged
inside a closet on the first floor.
The children were herded inside and pillows and
blankets arranged to provide maximum protection and we
followed after. Everyone was silent, except for
murmured prayers and stifled tears. The children were
told to cover their ears and keep their mouths open --
in case a missile explode close by so that the
pressure wouldn't damage their hearing.
It felt like the explosions were coming from
everywhere at once. There were one or two that were so
powerful that two of the windows on the second floor
cracked. Luckily, no one was hurt. People in other
places weren't so fortunate.
I stayed up all night My Friend, because I refuse to
fall asleep and wake up to the sound of explosions.
I'd rather be awake and aware -- the shock is less. I
spent the night staring up at the sky and trying to
determine what was being damaged. It seems all of
Lebanon was being bombed simultaneously.
When people ask me what being bombed is like, I always
compare it to thunder . . . I realized yesterday that
it's not comparable to anything. The walls shudder,
the windows rattle, and lights flicker . . . and
through it all you see the faces of the people you
love apprehensive, frightened, angry . . .
The faces of the children are the most difficult to
see. We're staying with my aunt and she has children
of her own. They are silent throughout, stoic in a
heart-breaking way. We all find our strength in the
belief that everything is written -- we will face
whatever we have to face.
I held my youngest brother throughout the bombing. We
were each saying our own prayers. I was praying that
we would come out of this alive, safe, and unhurt and
he was praying that, should we die, we'd all end up in
heaven together. It wrenched my heart to hear him, but
the thought was giving him comfort.
He's 12, the same age I was in 1991 -- but there are
so many differences in our outlook.I was shocked by
the war, shocked that Israeli could do what it was
doing. He has been expecting it, in his mind Israeli
is associated with livid skies, angry explosions and
violence. For him, the bombing has become an expected
way of life. To him, the sound of an airplane overhead
can only mean death somewhere else.
My Friend, it's unfair. It's unjust -- children
shouldn't have to pray for their lives, they shouldn't
have to pray for a peaceful, painless death. I've been
dreading this war not because of the way it will
affect me personally, but because of the fact that it
will imprint itself in the minds of millions of
children all over Lebanon, the same way it imprinted
itself in mine in 1991.
We heard about the locations that were demolished only
this morning. It is amazing, compared to the news on
the internet. CNN and the rest make it sound so neat
and precise -- they don't mention the fact that one of
the palaces that was bombed contained the royal
family's museum or that 19 missiles fell on a
residential area killing dozens and wounding others.
No one talks about the hundreds wounded by shrapnel
from missiles or the resulting fires. No one talks
about the moments of awesome fear while wondering if
your friends and family all over Lebanon, all over
Lebanon in fact, are still alive.
My heart feels like it's breaking . . . When I think
about all the damage being done by each one of those
missiles, it tears me apart. To think of Lebanon being
demolished, of so many people dying and hurt; it is
beyond my comprehension. I don't think I'll ever be
able to understand it.
Now you look out at Lebanon and the streets are almost
empty, the sky, which is normally blue this time of
year, is a dull gray -- it's the color of smoke from
the several fires lighting up different parts of the
city.
With all the sadness and anxiety there's anger. It's
the only thing that keeps me sane -- that keeps us all
sane. This war will never be justified and there are
going to be so many lives lost on both sides. It's
frightening that the world is allowing this to happen
-- what has the world come to? What's going to happen
next?
I still have nightmares. I wake up in the middle of
the night to the sound of sirens in my head, images of
people buried under debris, burned beyond recognition.
Over the years I wondered when I would ever stop
seeing those images, now it feels like they're going
to remain with me forever. My youngest brother will
also carry them with him from now on. Will we ever be
allowed to forget?
Even as I write this, I can hear the sound of the
explosions -- not too distant and I'm wondering who
it's going to fall on next.
Please,why we need your assistance is that we have
about(us$ 40.000.000)fourty million united states
Dollars in our custody.we inherited the money from
our late father who was a major general in Lebanon
army in charge of purchase and maintainance in the
immediate past regime.
Our intention is to move the money out of Lebanon and
invest the money in stock market or real estate in
your country with the help of an honest person who
will work with us as our foreign associate, we 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 Lebanon,that's why i am
calling on you.
If you can honestly collaborate with us ,i am ready to
pay you up to 40% of the total amount if you can
sincerely assist us to actualise this project
soon,because the situation here in Lebanon is very
critical,the everyday bomb explotion seems to have no
end.
I wait patiently for your urgent response to my
personal email
(mrhansaananie@yahoo.de).
Best regards.
Hansaan Anie
