Good day,
I am contacting you to share some important
information with you. If you can not work with me on this, kindly ignore
this message and keep the informations to yourself.
My name is Mr.Issam Majeed. I worked with the American Millitary in Iraq as
interpreter, I can send you some proofs. During one of the Millitary
operations in Iraq, we discovered a save in one of the house of the Iraqi
Insurgents. Inside the save was a box containing US$9 million. I quickly
arranged with some colleagues there and we secured the box to a safe place.
We had a prolonged deliberation on whether to hand over the box to the
United States millitary and Iraqi
officials and reached a consensus that we should share the money among
ourselves. After doing that, my own share was US$3 Million because we are
three in number
that shared the money. Beacuse of the security lapses in Iraq, i decided not
to leave my own share of the money in Iraq for security reasons. I arranged
with some security agents here who helped me send the consignment out of
Iraq for safe keeping. I am not going to disclose where the box is deposited
for now for security reasons.
I am presently in Iraq and for the fact that I have been a target of the
Iraqi insurgents as they are saying that I am collaborating with the
American Millitary to kill Iraqi citizens, they have made several attemps on
my life. Because of those attemps on my life I am into hiding here as I am
being security conscious. I am contacting you therefore to know whether you
can assist me to secure the consignment from where it is presently deposited
to your country. When that is
successfully done, I will find a way to leave this place to join you so that
I can invest the funds and then resign from the risky work I am doing there.
This matter is highly confidential for security reasons. You can only be
reaching me by email for the
moment. Upon receipt of your response to work with me on this and tangible
proof of your honesty, I will tell you where the consignment is presently
deposited so that
we can deliberate on what shall be your compensation before we can proceed
and be rest assured that this is 100% risk free because every thing about
this transaction is percfectly planned. PLEASE KINDLY REPLY ME BACK THROUGH
THIS MY EMAIL ADDRESS: issamnet130@yahoo.co.uk
I remain sincerely yours,
Issam
