My .Regard .Form. Miss .Fatima. Hamad
Dear Friend
Due to my careful search for an honest, reliable and sincere business partner, i got your contact from internet and i ask if you can be trusted not to break an agreement? Still, it took me time to make up my mind to contact you and to offer you this proposal of mine of which my whole life depends on.please contact me through my email at fatima_hamad@yahoo.com
Compliment of the seasons. I duly apologies for 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 HAMAD, From Lebanon. I am a social worker attached to United Nations observer outpost in Southern Lebanon that is now occupied by the Israeli military troops. 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 $9.5million US dollars. To cut the whole storey short, we took the trunk box that contained the funds 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 regards to your family.
Yours sincerely,
Fatima.
