Subject: Assalamualaikum
Dear SIR/Madam
Compliment of the seasons. I duly apologise fo infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. I am Miss FATIMA ABDULLAH, From Lebanon . I am a social worker attached to United Nations observer outpost in Southern Lebanon that is now occupied by the Israeli militarytroops.
You must have heard over the media reports and on the Internet the on going Israeli War against my country. Many innocent civilians are dead and thousands are injured while millions are homeless as they continue to bombard our country. Most of our infrastructures are now in shambles as a result of their deadly and continued bombardment of Lebanon .
On the 26th day of July, an Israeli war planes bombed the United Nations outpost and killed five United Nations workers and reduced the whole observer outpost to rumbles. As a social worker, I was one of the few that were sent to the crumbled out posts to assist in the rescue operations. As the rescue operation was going on, me and my fellow worker discovered a trunk box in the heaps of the debris and when we opened it, 'wow!' it contains neatly packed bundles of United States dollars in cash. As we made a rough and hasty counting of the money, we came up with the figure $16.5million US dollars.
To cut the whole story short, we took the trunk box that contained the fund and hide it in one of the refugee’s camp here in Lebanon . Why we are contacting you is to assist us to invest this huge money in your country as we are not business women and again the situation in our country is hell and it is not safe to keep or invest the fund in a war turn zone like Lebanon.
If you are interested to work with us, we can set up a business partnership with you in your country and it is our wish to invest in property and real estate investment. We will compensate you for your role in this venture and if you are interested, I will inform you our arrangements on how we intend to send the money to you in your country for safe keeping and investment. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation and my regardsto your family.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Fatima Abdullah
