Good day my dear,
How are you today and I hope you are fine.
I am EDNA FRANKLIN, an Iraqi citizen. I got your contact email address in confidence through a reliable-help network when I was searching for a reliable person who can help me make this transaction a success. However, my inner consciousness assured me of your reliability and trustworthiness this business transaction.
Please be informed that this transaction is highly confidential and it is due to our own security that I have choosen this medium to contact you and I do hope that you will understand.
I am presently residing in Basra Iraq and desperately in need of your urgent assistance and surport to move a huge sum of $120,000.000 ( One Hundred and Twenty Million, U.S Dollar) which is now in the security company. This money is legal and free from any local or international laws.
Due to the current situation of things in our country Iraq, so my dear, I need to arrange quickly on how to move this money to you in your country or any other safer place for onward deposit in any bank account, because i don,t want to loose this money.in that company
How ever this money belongs to my late sband MR FRANKLIN
who died in a plane crash on the 16th of May, 2004. and our agreement with the security company before we deposited those trunk boxes with them was that those boxes will be cleared after 9 months.
And after we deposited those boxes in that company, my late husband and I travelled to Dubai UAE to negotiate with our Lawyer on how to invest the money in a business in Dubai. It was after this negotiation that my late husband travelled from Dubai to Egypt where he met his death and I returned to Basra Iraq without a prio knowledge of his untimely death then.
Now I find it totally impossible to travel out of Iraq to Dubai despite all attempts and efforts because of the problem we have in our country now, hence the need to contact you to help keep the money safely, pending when the condition will improve to enable me move from Iraq to wherever you've kept the money.
Infact, I am ready to offer to you about 20% of the total sum for your assistance, and 5% for any expenses that may come up during the transaction.
We need to negotiate on the percentage and modalities of moving the fund to you, pending my arrival in your country for disbursements and discussion on profitable investments.
Your urgent response would be appreciated, through my personal email address:-ednafranklin@myway.com
More details will be provided by me on receipt of your response.
May the Ever-faithfull and Ever-loving ALLAH guide and protect you as you render this help to a widow.
Regards.
MRS.EDNA FRANKLIN
