As-Salaam Alaikum, Wa Rahamatullah,Wa-Barakatuhoo
I feel sorry for bordering you at this time,since we have not met or known
each other before,but I beg you in the name of almighty Allah,to have
patience and listen to me. I am also sorry for any inconveniences or
embarrasment,this appeal may cause you,especially as it is coming from an
unknown person who you do not have anything to share in common,except
perhaps one God.
My name is Mrs Fareeza Al Karbouli,I am an Iraqi national,from the kurdish
town of Quadagha,the wife of Mr Wafiq Al Karbouli,who died last year in an
auto crash,here in Iraq. Thanks to almighty Allah,I survived the
accident,though with a spinal cord injury which has kept me perpetually
bedridden. I am a mother of a of three,I also worked as an
instructor/interpreter to foreign troops in Fallujah during the war in
Iraq,but presently I am the principal accountant with Al-baiji Oil Refinery
125 miles(250km)north of Baghdad.
My heart is heavy with sadness, for what is happening in Iraq
presently,ethnic militia killing,suicide bombs everywhere,unnecessary
harassment,rape and torture. Yes America and its allies have enthrone
democracy in Iraq,but can we sustain it,the weakness of the Arabic
leaderships is shameful and distressing.
And they do not feel ashamed of themselves, with their negativity that
insulted this nation's dignity, and led it to the lowest level. Anyway I am
saying this thing for you to understand the feeling of an average Iraqi on
the street and the reason hundreds are leaving Iraq daily.
The enemy we have are us and is evident,the weakness of the Arabic
leaderships is shameful and distressing. And they do not feel ashamed of
themselves, with their negativity that insulted this nation's dignity, and
led it to the lowest level.
Why don't they stop the this militia unrest
Is the problem a lack of money?
Is it the lack of human resources?
Is it a lack of scientists, intellectuals, and nationalist people in this
nation, who want to defend it?
I do not think there is a shortage in any of these items, for we are one of
the richest nations, one of the most populated, and we have many scientists,
intellectuals, and nationalists among us which my husband was one.
But the dilemma is in these cowardly, corrupt leaderships, who agreed upon
the ruin of this nation, present and future.
Behold almighty Allah, and the best of allies.
There will come the day when they will be asked for the crimes they
committed against this nation; how they betrayed the trust they held over
their shoulders, how they turned our nation into one of the weakest, until
it became the easiest for all, and thus was crushed under the feet
For instance.there are different prisons and detention camps, numerous
victims of men, women and children, and Iraq has turned into a piece of
hell, in which the occupation forces are devastating corruption and
shredding. And along with them works sectarian militias, Iraqi or Iranian,
the identity is no longer important, but they do waste the innocent Iraqi
blood on the streets, in the houses, and everywhere. And the whole world is
watching, and no body can stop the Iraqi bloodshed; not the Iraqi
government, nor any else.
We have an old proverb We have an old proverb saying: when a madman throws a
stone into the well, a thousand sane people couldn't remove it out
Ask an Iraqi boy on the street are you Iraqi?He will say no,I am
Sunni,Shi'ite or Kurdish,he will not mention Iraq. Worst of this is the
obnoxious kurdish tradition which strips the woman of all her husband's
wealth and transfer it to the brothers of the man when the man dies,that is
my situation here.
Yes I am an accountant but I have not gone to work for close to one year now
due to the spinal cord injury I sustained. So dear,I have considered all
options and its time to take the bull by the horn,I stumbled on your name
and country,so decided to appeal to you.Please I do not intend to force you
do anything against your wish and principles,otherwise please forgive me,I
can look for another person.
My purpose of contacting you is to help me received and hold some of my
husbands properties I transfered to Europe,among which borders me most is a
big box containing a huge sum of money which for security reason I will not
disclose the amount here now until I get your consent.
As result of these crisis in my country and by virtue of my position in the
oil refinery in Al-baiji, I was able to move out the sum of 22.5 million
dollars,from the call-deposit,from my office in the refinery,to a security
/ finance company (DABI SADEARAT)based in Tehran,Iran,for safe-keeping.
However I instructed Dabi Sadarrat to transfer the box to its affiliate
company in Europe since I was planing to travel to London for medical
treatment as I wanted to use that opportunity to receive the money in Europe
for save keeping.
My hospital here has already issued me a referral letter to St George's
Hospital in London for treatment,but the stupid woman in the British embassy
here in Baghdad,has sworn that I can never get my traveling visa despite all
the convincing reasons I have given her. Having waited for 3 attempt,I
decided to contact you,I am therefore soliciting for your assistance to
claim the box on my behalf, since I cannot leave here now for some
reasons,pending the time I shall be able to get clearance from the embassy
here,and I don,t want the origin of the to be to be traced to me,as that
will indite me here in Iraq.
I will present you to the Security/Finance Company as the Trustee of the
consignment on my behalf.
On receipt of your positive response,I shall disclose to you more and other
details you need to know.I am also ready for any agreement provided you are
not greedy,I am ready to offer 17% to you and 3% to take care of overall
expenses incured in the course of the transaction.
Though we can still negotiate more on that aspect.
Finally,I have taken time despite all odds,to elaborate on myself and the
nature of the business for your understanding, you are therefore free to ask
questions in areas you don't understand.You are also at liberty to accept or
reject my humble proposal.
If you are in acceptance,please reply immediately with your full name
,address,telephone and fax numbers and maybe other vital information that
may help us in this transaction,which shall also be forwarded to the
Security and finance Company to enable them release the consignment to you.
However,please i want to beg here that you do not take undue advantage of
this unforeseen circumstance.
Please treat with utmost confidentiality.
Regards
Fareeza
