Greetings,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, which is of mutual benefit. This is by virtue of its nature of being utterly Confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your ability, and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude.
In the past 4 months, I have employed very diligent bureaucratic means to divorce US$150,000,000 (one hundred and fifty million U.S. Dollars) in cash, from the personal financial reserve of president Saddam Hussein- in Iraq and the Middle East. My strategic position in the black market oil dealings of my country and my relationship with corresponding key officials in the Governments of Iraq and the Middle East has afforded me the opportunity to sell Iraqi Oil to buyers in the "Black Market" behind the U.S & U.N Sanctions and payment is made in cash only.
With the days of Saddam Hussein in power numbered, my partners and I have decided to secure our future financially and flee the country as soon as the war starts. Further more my communications with you will be limited to emails only, to avoid been caught by Iraqi security officials, as we will face the instant death sentence if caught. If you must know we all live in fear of the draconian power of Saddam Hussein.
For our safety, this fund must be introduced into the financial system to conform to the highest standard of International Banking Regulations and Financial Laws, Conversely, I require strictly, a foreigner to receive the said cash sum of US$150million, which can be ship to any destination in the world.
Your role, in the above regard, will be to act as the beneficiary of the funds in question, assist with the removal of me and my family from Iraq to either united States, Great Britain, France or Spain. At the moment I cannot move out of Iraq until the war starts and Saddam Hussein removed from power by the God sent interventional war of United States. power by the God sent interventional war of United States. You must however, note that this fund will be guided by certain express provisions designed to ensure that your receipt of the above stated cash sum does not place me and my family at a disadvantage or undermine our ability to receive my portion of the US$ 150,000,000. Firstly, the shipment of the money out of Iraq will be subject to Condition Precedent. That is, a well structured process that will allow me adequate time to arrive in your country to set up the proper fund receipt mechanism for our share of the US$ 150,000,000.
Finally, I am constrained by time in the execution of the above stated transaction, therefore your immediate response in
concession to the nature, requirement and conditions for the successful completion of this fund shipment, will be highly
appreciated. At which time too, I will be more than delighted to illuminate whatever areas seem unclear to you in the entire
process.
I await your response at-- (amirabdul@arabia.com) .
Sincerely, A.A.
I will divulge my identity and other pertinent details to you in due course.
I did a little checking, and guess what country this actually came from? Yep, Nigeria. Full points for creativity.
