Attention Sir,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source. First, let me start by introducing myself as Mr.Kazim Tarek Alfayed, an Iraqi refugee, My father was until recently, one of the aid to the former leader of my country Iraq before he was killed in a war on 15th of July 2003. I am now left with my mother who unfortunately has been critically ill since the death of my father and my elder brothers. My mother is from Haiti while my father is from Iraq before they got married as husband and wife.
Prior to this crisis which has persisted in my country claiming the lives of many souls, we were able to come over here in Thailand. When my father with the rest members of my family was killed, I and my Mother escaped to Syria with the help of United Nations officials from there we came to Thailand.
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise but honestly I do not intend to surprise you. I write this letter in respect of my intention to invest the sum of US$16,000,000.00 in your country which we inherited from my late father.The funds were originally gotten from my late father proceeds. My late father was able to safe guard the fund with a very good diplomatic contact from my Thailand which make us to come here to plan our life.
I have the tendency and willingness to invest this fund in a company with good capital returns. With most regards to your trust worthiness and reliability, I decided to seek for your assistance in helping me invest this fund in your country. we have succeeded in bringing this fund out of the war zone IRAQ to Bangkok-Thailand where I am writing from with the intention of settling and investing here but due to the current economic crisis coupled with some ridged laws imposed on refugees, I am forced to look for somewhere else to embark on my investment. I am therefore approaching you to help explore the investment potential of your country.The fund is now with the financial firm here in Thailand for safe keeping pending when we will finalize arrangement moving the fund to your country for investment.
My approach is in view of my ill-experience in business as I have been a university scholar was opportuned to posses this amount of money as a result of my family predicaments. This fund being the basis of my future and business ambition, your friendship, assistance and advise will be appreciated while relying on your guidance for a profitable business establishment. You will be rewarded immensely by being into a joint venture establishment and further terms will be discussed as we progresses or as you may propose. I will be providing detailed information immediately I receive your acknowledgment identifying interest in working with me.
Whatever your decision is, please contact me immediately through the above phone number or email. I also appeal to you to keep this matter secret for the interest of my family.
Thanks/Best Regards,
Mr.Kazim.Tarek Sabawi
