Dearest, RE: YOUR ASSISTANCE IS HIGHLY NEEDED I am very sure that this
mail will bring lots of surprises and curiosity to you since there was
no previous correspondence before now between us.I am the wife of Late
Mr Akhmad Kadyrov,The President of Chechnya, who was killed in a bomb
attack early last year in a parade ground

My husband told me before his death that he has a deposit of $30m which
he deposited overseas and handed to me all the documents which my
lawyer has confirmed with the bank. Right now I am looking for an
Investor who will help me to invest the total sum in the west and after
which I
will relocate to your country.

Because of the security situation in Chechnya ,I am currectly seeking
an assylum in Holland where I am writing you from and the situation
here does not warrant me to do much from here; therefore I have designated
my family lawyer who will coordinate every aspect of the fund transfer
and the investment with your assistance. I am ready to concede up to
25% of the funds to you as your share if you will help me to pull the funds
and invest it in your country which has a stable economy.

Upon receipt of your acceptance letter, I will introduce you to my
family lawyer who on how the transfer can be done in the shortest
possible time.

Awaiting your Urgent response by email or by fax as the case maybe.

Regards,

Mrs. Rukija Akhmad Kadyrov
