Subject: Al salaam,(I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP)
Al salaam,
I am Mrs Amira Rasheed Haji, I am a business woman in Lebanon and Iraq
is where I am from to be precise, due to the problem with my country I
have lost Mr.Khalid Rasheed my husband who was involved in a bomb blast as Israel seemsto be firing missiles into lebanon.
I am the only wife of my husband and we had no child together, his
business was crippled too in this resent bombardment so there is nothing
left for me to survive on, our house and other properties were destroyed the
Israeli where taking advantages of the civilians in Lebanon.
I went back to my wrecked house to check for some little valuables like
diamonds and gold in my jewel box but non was recovered, I came across
my husband diary and I found out that there is a huge sum of money
(Financial institute) $15.5 million USD in where he kept all
the best sum of money that would give me a new life as soon as Beirut
and Israel settles their conflicts.
I am a newly wedded wife and we performed a traditional wedding which
most court in the Arab world recognizes but there is no document signed
in court that is where I have a problem in claiming my husband money from
the Security company as they are requesting for the prove and
certified papers that will make me entitled to his will.
I met a lawyer who promised to assist me but I need someone from abroad
with a valid and reputable account to receive the money as we are going to
get it back through transfer, someone whom the lawyer can arrange to be
my husband's business partner that loan the money to my husband to start
his contracting business.
As soon as all papers are processed by my late husband's lawyer the
whole sum will be sent to you in your home country and you will then
arrange mine for investment purpose and remit some cash to me while arranging
for my meeting with you in the country of your residence for futher business
actions and probably my settling where you deem fit as i will also like
to invest part of it here in Damascus where I am staying with a friend's
family.
Your share of the whole transaction is 25% of the total sum while 5%
will beset as for any expenses you maght incurr at the cause of the
transaction and 5% will be for charity,which will be done as soon as the funds gets
to you,since I have no better chance of getting the money directly from
here.
I don't mean to act in this form but recovering my late husband money by
any means possible is better than allowing the security company to use
it for their own interest. Please do let me know your concern as life in
Damascusis not too simple and easy but it's the place I can still stay
for now untilI get my 60% from you.
Thanks and I pray Allah will bless you as you are trying to assist me to
recover what my late husband had suffered to get.
You will reach me with this email address, mrs_amira2007@arabtop.net
Sincerely,
Mrs Amira Rasheed
