INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
Dear:sir/madam,
With due respect,and great pains i write you this letter considering the
fact
that we have not known ourselves or met previously.But I am constrained to
write
you this letter because of the urgency of it.
I am Hajia Asfat Fadi Basem,35yrs wife of late Major Fadi Basem who was one
of
the leaders of sadam Iraqi force and also a business man who died during U.=
S
and
iraqi War last year. My two daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious custom
traditional norms.
We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late
husband's family, simply because I did not bear a male child [heir apparent=
]
for my late husband. B y their tradition, all that my late husband had,
[wealth]
belongs to his brothers /family.And myself is to be remarried by his
immediate
younger brother which I vehemently refused.
They have taken all that I suffered with my husband to acquire including
treasures, houses and his bank particular seized by them.They have even gon=
e
to
the extent of restricting my movement within the family estate and they do
not
even allow me to receive or make phone calls,my olny means of communication
now
is internet which i do when they are not arround. Myself and my two
daughters
have been subjected to in human treatments from my late husbands family
members,to feed now is even a big problem.
Thank God, recently, I received an email from a finacial firm in Europe
through
my late husbend private email address that my late husband deposited a
consignment tagged FAMILY VALUABLES with their firm for a period of 24
months
which expires september hence have not showned up for a long time now.The
FAMILY
VALUABLES contains ?10.5 million euros only,will be invested by you you upo=
n
given me a sufficient assurance that you will honestly assist,and would not
divert the valuables.
This motivated me to contact you to assist my children and I in securing th=
e
consignment from the firm on my familys behalf,and invest it while you find
a
way of getting us out to your country.Although These valuables was kept on
an
"OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE" with the firm to avoid detection,seizure or
diversion.You are only required to open communication with the firm as the
bonified beneficiary and secure the funds for urgent investment abroad.
This is why I have contacted you to help save my children and I,by securing
the
consignment on our behalf.To this effect My children and I have resolved to
give
you 20% of the total funds.While 80% for urgent investment for the future o=
f
my
family.

t
me.To facilitate the conclusion of this assistance if accepted,
kindly send to me promptly by email the following:
