Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL...
Hello,
I am Mrs. Anna Abdic.I need your help.Do not be
offended that i write to you like this.I am desperate for my family. I
explain, my husband is Fikret Abdic, very briefly, the president of West
Bosnia. You may wish to find out more about this yourself but I promise
that I speak only truth. My husband is now serving 20yrs jail term because
he tried to protect his people during the war. I have just received
information from my husband and he told me that he before his arrest he
had kept some money in a safe place in case we had to leave Bosnia, this
money is a very big amount(over $40 million) this is why I need your
help to claim this money I am ready to give you a reasonable share of
the funds for your help. Please take this serious as I can prove everything
I say. I beg you to give me that chance.
Regards,
Anna
