Dear,
MY NAME IS ABUBAKA HAMEED. I LIVED AND WORKED IN IRAQ AS A CONTRACTOR DURING THE PRESIDENT SADDAM HUSSEIN ERA. I WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF SADDAM'S TOP PALACE ACCOUNTANT AND WORKED ON VARIOUS PROJECTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION THE SUM OF US$18M (EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS), IN CASH THAT WAS ENRUSTED TO ME BY ONE OF THE SADDAM'S TOP PALACE ACCOUNTANT SHORTLY BEFORE THE AMERICANS STORMED BAGHDAD THAT EVENTUALLY LED TO THE FALL OF SADDAM.
I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE FUNDS OUT OF IRAQ FOR SAFE KEEPING AND DEPOSITED IT SAFELY IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA AND KEPT THE TWO BOXES CONTAINING THE FUNDS THERE SUCESSFULLY. I AM NOW IN EXILE WITH MY FAMILY IN SOUTH AFRICA.
I AM SEEKING FOR YOUR URGENT HELP TO ASSIST ME CLAIM THE FUNDS FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY FOR INVESTMENT IN A VERY GOOD RELIABLE PROJECT IN YOUR COUNTRY. A LOT OF IRAQIS HAD LOOTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND RAN OUT OF IRAQ INCLUDING TOP OFFICIALS, MANY OF WHOM SUCCEDED WHILE MANY DIED IN THE PROCESS. MY FRIEND THAT GAVE ME THE BOX WAS NOT AS LUCKY.
HE WAS KILLED DURING ONE OF THE US RAIDS IN BAGHDAD.
ITHANK ALLAH THAT I AM ALIVE AND I WANT TO HAVE AN
INVESTMENT BASE IN YOUR COUNTRY, AS SOON AS YOU ACCEPT TO
HELP ME SECURE/CLAIM THE FUNDS FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND DEPOSITE IT IN YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT IN YOUR COUNTRY.
HOWEVER, WE ARE NOW REFUGEES HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND THEIR LAW HERE DOES NOT ALLOW REFUGEES TO, OPERATE AN ACCOUNT OR HAVE A BUSINESS ESTABILISHED UNTIL YOU GET YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENCE OF WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF BEFORE I
DEPOSITED THE FUNDS.
IF YOU ACCEPT TO ASSIST ME,I AM OFFERING YOU 30% OF THE
MONEY WHILE 5% WILL BE FOR ALL THE EXPENCES THAT COULD BE INCURED ON THE PROCESS OF THE TRANSACTION. AND REMEMBER TO GIVE ME YOUR PRIVATE PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS SO THAT I WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS AS REGARDS TO THE FUNDS.
THIS IS RISK FREE BUT HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT.
BEST REGARDS,
ABUBAKA HAMEED.
