Dear Partner
I am in need of your assistance. My name is Sgt. William Scot. Am a member of the U.N. British Security Council from Basra in Iraq.We have about Twenty-five Million US dollars that we moved out of Iraq. My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust.It is oil money and it is legal.We have securely moved the funds to Italy and now we need help in investing the money. Will you help us? I am in London right now.We will pay for your assistance. You will be given 30% for helping us.The most important thing is that can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your fifty percent out and keep our own fifty percent. Your own part of this project is to find a safe place where the funds can be kept and invested. If you have any good business ideas or need funds for investment let me know more about it. If you are interested,I will need your full name, Telephone number, private and secure email address.So that i can send you more details and how to begin the process; I will be waiting for your phone call, email or fax.
Thank you for your time.
Yours Faithfully,
Sgt William Scot
