Dear Sir/Madam,
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you, I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am in search for a credible private individual, organization or a reliable company overseas, for joint business venture.
I am Group Captain Micheal Woods of the UN on Monitoring and Peace –keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq.On the 20th day of November 2006, we were alerted on the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not too far from Karbala here in Iraq. After immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of theTerrorists, twenty-six (26) were killed leaving seven (7) injured.
In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for late Ayman al-Zawahiri and took us to a cave in Karbala which served as their camp. Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including some boxes among which two contains suspected nuclear weapons, one filled with hard drugs (cocaine) and the other four to my amazement contain some US Dollars amounting to $10.2M. After I and two of my junior intelligent officers counted them, I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy.
I am in keen need of a “Reliable and "Trustworthy”person who would receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the US Dollars for me until my assignment elapses here in Iraq. I assure and promise you will not regret this deal. However feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this business. Assure me of you keeping this in utmost secrecy to protect my job with the UN Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission. I will be waiting to hear from you as soon as possible to proceed. If you are interested to work with me in good faith and honesty, get back to me. Endeavor to let me know your decision rather than keeping me waiting. Please provide me with your information:Your Full Name: Home Address:Office Address:TelephoneFax:Alternative Email: Thanks in anticipation of a favorable response. Sincere regards,Group Captain Micheal Woods,United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Street Address: Building No. 153, Street No. 13Area 102, Hay Abi Nawas, P.O. Box 2048 (Alwiyah),Baghdad – Iraq.
